Issue while testing 1.1.3 on a Pi2

Im getting this error. i will look into the issue more later. Bedtime now.

Other than that, things are looking good. I have a feeling it has something to do with updating python on a system update. Will troubleshoot more later.

As I suspected my system uses python3 by default for Samba.
I can changed two lines in shoutbox_stuff.sh from

python psogen.py generate
python diskusage.py generate

to

python2 psogen.py generate
python2 diskusage.py generate

and seemed to fix it....except for droopy which I assume is still using python3 in piratebox_alt. Not sure how to clarify python2 in the start-stop-daemon

the above may only be true on systems with python2 and python3 installed. /usr/bin/python was simlinked to /usr/bin/python3 which is how I discovered that. If I change the python simlink, it breaks samba(wins, netbios, filesharing, and a few other programs I have installed that use python3).

fixed droopy by adding '/usr/bin/python2' after -x and before the droopy file. However this method when killed will kill ALL scripts using python2 when piratebox is stopped as it kills python2 globally.

Looks like we need to find a way to implement python2 instead of system default python if both v2 & v3 are installed or update python scripts for python 3.... maybe just clarify python 2 would be easier.

hmm.... but still some minor issues with the shoutbox and disk usage. Shoutbox wont accept any input and the button is stuck on 'sending...' as well as the disk refresh button stuck on 'refreshing...'

EDIT: Had to change the python path in lighttpd.conf to python2 as well.

Ok, this is a major issue which we need to address.
Crap.

It SEEMS so far all the changes I made above fixed it. I haven't had any adverse affects when stopping piratebox interfering with other services un-related to piratebox that are running on my RPi2 (transmission, samba) So it seems Piratebox is the only thing on my RPi2 that uses python2. So changing all the links in code above to a hard link to /usr/bin/python2 should work. As the only thing constantly using python2 is droopy (only thing that prefers /usr/bin/pythoin2 as start-stop-daemon like hard links). All the other links/scripts only call on python2 to execure calls then kill themselves when completed. ex: python2 psogen.py generate runs then dies, adding anything to the shoutbox calls psowrite.py then dies after writing to the generated chat file.

Q: Did that happen to a manual installation of PirateBox or
after performing an update?

apt-get update was ran, but not apt-get-upgrade (just needed to update package lists) Other than that, this was a clean install on a Raspberry Pi from the raspi .img

If it is the official PirateBox image, you can't run apt-get because it is for debian/raspbian

er...right... the equivalent... pacman I think? I'm in and out of this project way too much.... and I think it updated at as dependency of Samba... which I believe on Arch ARM is actually smdb.service If my memory serves me correctly.... and now that i think of it (experience since then) I used pacman-Sy instead of pacman -Syu which would indeed cause dependency issues. But still not quite sure how python 3 got there if I told it not to install the dependencies (-u) Its been too long ago. I will have to try and recreate it when I have free time... most likely the end of the month.

Don't waste your time :-)
I already applied the suggested change. (hardcode python2). You can try to build a dev. image for the RPi based on the development branch and give that a try.

Will do when I have the time. I will report (along with debug checklist) when I do.

cloned arch_rpi_image_prepare development
make ARCH=rpi (rpi2) BRANCH=development VERSION=1.2.0
seems it still processes the 1.1.3 version even though I pulled from the development branch of piratebox-ws (verified the files on my drive) I suppose that is written in the rpi image prepare and not pulled from piratebox-ws? Anywho, building from my environment at work.

ah oh, sorry. Stupid me. It's about the repository arch_rpi_image_prepare

make dist ARCH=$arch BRANCH=development VERSION=1.2-alpha

or use the autobuild script, which creates RPi1 and RPi2+3 images

 ./build_all.sh -b development -v 1.2-alpha

The version is more like a label, nothing else.

Sorry, best regards
