UI not working after reboot

1st Official Post

    After having upgraded from 6.x to 7, and it has been working well for a while now (multiple reboots and restarts in between), i decided to check for updates via the UI. about 35 or so were available, and installed those. Rebooted via the UI, and the system came back up without issue.


    This morning is shut down the system.


    Restarted it, and no UI. The shares and such are available, so the engine underneath is working. I can SSH into the box as well, and see all folders, media, etc.


    Looked for solutions, but can't find it. Perhaps someone here has suggestions?


    Here's output of dpkg -l | grep openme

    The box itself is visible on the network, i have a valid IP(4) address.


    When i run the first-aid tool, the home screen opens. When i select the first option, just to see if it does anything (configure network interface) i get the following error message


    ERROR: Failed to connect /var/lib/openmediavault/engined.sock: [Errno 2] No such file or directory


    Did something get misconfigured with the last update, and only because of the reboot did that now become visible?


    Help :D


    ETA: Pi4, multiple large hard disks, one SSD, running from the memory card

    Also, i ran the omv-upgrade, just to be sure; nothing to be upgraded.

    Forgot to post an earlier test attempt:

    here's the tail end of the sudo omv-engined -d -f



    The shell remains 'waiting' for when that SIGCHLD received... goes away (and it doesn't)

    How old is the SD card?

    I think you should run a omv-salt stage run all to rebuild everything. The APT config looks not up-to-date.

    If i execute this command, will that impact the existing configuration and such? OMV is running at the moment, al my files are accessible, even through upnp, but the UI just doesn't want to show.

    I did some more reading, and 'deduced' that the command to stage run all would grab existing config files for the several underlying services and subsystems, and build the proper overall config file out of various bits.


    The shell buffer wasn't large enough, so i couldn't grab all the output, but here's the last bits of it.


    Don't know what tthose errors are at the end, but seeing the various sections show 'success' i'm assuming the rebuilt config is regenerated.


    And yes, the UI now shows, configurations have been retained, it looks like the system is back in working order.


    i will now reboot once more, and see if the UI again properly starts.

    Interesting. I moved the whole setup to a different physical location; so the pi and drives and such were completely powered down.


    I connected everything again, and the same behavior: everything works, except for the UI.


    I'm running the command to rebuild the config again, doing a sudo reboot, and will report back.

    rebuilt, rebooted, no luck. Everything works, except the UI. I can ssh into the machine, so it's not a network connection. Weird. Gonna check something else, i am using a 8-port switch in the new location, so physical path to and from the machine may be different. But shouldnt make a difference for a web browser session vs an ssh session?

    Nope. Sure sounds like the SD card is failing.

    Not coming back after the various commands. Going to shut it down, and get it back up to the original location, just to rule out an issue with cabling and switches, etc.

    I think i have another sd card laying around. How can i carry over the configuration i currently have to a fresh image? Is there a guide for that? <ight as well rule out that problem right away.

    Search for omv-regen.

    OK, i think the whole panic was caused by something else. For some reason another pi running Moode was seen by the router as both the wired and wireless as one ip.


    I removed all the dhcp reservations for both the omv and moode pi, reset the whole bunch, recognized them in the router, and everything works like it should, even after multiple reboots and relocation to the basement / connecting it to a larger switch.


    You can close this thread. If something happens, i'll start a new one.


    Thanks again for you help!
