Comitup v1.6 crashes in Stretch

[davesteele]

Thanks for checking this out. I've added the package to the comitup repository, and added a versioned dependency to comitup.

[davesteele]

I just tried this with the shiny new v1.6-1. It worked fine on a Zero W, using the captive portal web page.

[krebbi]

Where do I get the shiny new version? Is it available in your repo?

[davesteele]

Here, here, or here

[krebbi]

ohh, comitup-cli doesn't do anything anymore inthe shiny new 1.6-1.

[davesteele]

Does the file /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq-shared.d/nm-dns-sabotage.conf exist? It should not anymore.

[krebbi]

It does exist. I removed it, but that didn't solve the problem.
comitup-cli still exits without any error-message.

[davesteele]

I can't replicate. Perhaps a purge and reinstall?

[krebbi]

sudo comitup fails:

[davesteele]

That doesn't make sense. Are you on stretch?

[krebbi]

Yes.
Release 9.9
Kernel 4.19.57+

[davesteele]

I've been using Buster. I'll try Stable this weekend.

[reck7]

Today I ran updates on Pi Zero W and it picked up the 1.6-1 release and noticed an error on the install about issue starting the service. I appear to have this same issue.

Honestly I am new to this project so don't have full understanding how it works.

The one strange thing I have noticed is that like @krebbi I did get a TypeError of str rather than int. But when I ran it again I get a TypeError: Expected a string or unicode object which contained my wifi psk.

The only thing I have specifically modified was disable ipv6 by blacklisting it in /etc/modprobe.d/ipv6.conf, but this caused no issues with 1.5-1 I started with your stretch lite img when building this Pi

I have stopped the service, as it was looping trying to start every 15 sec. node-red is already a hog, didnt need things fighting :)

[davesteele]

My current theory is that there is a bug in python-networkmanager, version 2.0.1-4, which does not handle NetworkManager configurations using the newer address-data scheme. A quick test of this would be to load python-networkmanager version 2.1-1 from Buster.

It will be a few days before I will be able to try this.

[davesteele]

To be clear, the workarounds are to revert to 1.5-1 or to download a new (Buster) image.

[reck7]

Thanks for looking into this.

What is the proper way to revert to 1.5-1? I am not seeing it using the PPA.

pi@pi0w:~ $ sudo apt-cache madison comitup
comitup | 1.6-1 | http://davesteele.github.io/comitup/repo comitup/main armhf Packages
comitup | 0.7-1 | http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian stretch/main armhf Packages

[davesteele]

The archive is here

[krebbi]

thx. as we are packaging your comitup with our software it's even better to use the deb-files and not the repo.

[reck7]

Do you recommend going to python-networkmanager, version 2.0.1-3?

[davesteele]

No.

[krebbi]

Installing networkmanager 2.1-1 did the trick.

[krebbi]

When I update the package from 1.4 to 1.6 the new networkmanager isn't installed automatically.
could you check within comitup to have networkmanager >=2.1* and if not, try to install it?

[kunalkkanani]

I just updated and its working now. Thanks
