KIAUH Installation error

[leadustin]

Has Qidi modified anything on KIAUH? As soon as you switch to the installation screen, this error appears. A semicolon is inserted at the end of the kiauh.ini and keeps coming back.

KIAUH - Klipper Installation And Update Helper

DO NOT edit this file!

=================================================

KIAUH v4.0.0

application_updates_available= backup_before_update=false logupload_accepted=false custom_klipper_repo= custom_klipper_repo_branch= mainsail_install_unstable=false fluidd_install_unstable=false multi_instance_names= fluidd_port=10088;

It seems .kiauh.ini is using CRLF file format instead of LF format which is suitable for Linux system. Try running:

# cd to where the file is 
dos2unix .kiauh.ini

We didn’t make any modifications to Kiauh, and it does seem odd that there’s a semicolon at the end, so you can just remove it.

Changing to the other format did not help.

Yes, I‘ve confirmed that simply removing the semicolon at the end allows it to run correctly. Normally, the generated ini file should not include this semicolon.

[queeph]

No, not at all. As soon as the semicolon is removed and kiauh is started, the kiau.ini is adjusted again and the semicolon is included again. That's why leadustin had already asked if you had changed anything in kiauh.

[CChen616]

I've pinpointed the source of the issue.

In Kiauh's script, there is a function used to initialize the kiauh.ini file each time it starts:

function fetch_webui_ports() {
  local port interfaces=("mainsail" "fluidd" "octoprint")

  ### read ports from possible installed interfaces and write them to ~/.kiauh.ini
  for interface in "${interfaces[@]}"; do
    if [[ -f "/etc/nginx/sites-available/${interface}" ]]; then
      port=$(grep -E "listen" "/etc/nginx/sites-available/${interface}" | head -1 | sed 's/^\s*//' | sed 's/;$//' | cut -d" " -f2)
      if ! grep -Eq "${interface}_port" "${INI_FILE}"; then
        sed -i '$a'"${interface}_port=${port}" "${INI_FILE}"
      else
        sed -i "/^${interface}_port/d" "${INI_FILE}"
        sed -i '$a'"${interface}_port=${port}" "${INI_FILE}"
      fi
    else
        sed -i "/^${interface}_port/d" "${INI_FILE}"
    fi
  done
}

This function reads the /etc/nginx/sites-available/fluidd configuration file to get the port currently being listened to. The file is currently in CRLF format, which causes the sed 's/;$//' command meant to remove the trailing semicolon to fail due to the unexpected presence of \r, leading to the deletion not being executed correctly. While the CRLF format does not affect Nginx's functionality, it does cause issues with the script's execution.

Setting the /etc/nginx/sites-available/fluidd file to LF format resolves the issue. We will fix this problem in the next release.

@leadustin Have you managed to use the newest klipper version in the Q1 Pro?

No, I haven't, as I don't currently own the printer

[dewi-ny-je]

We will fix this problem in the next release.

But, to be clear, we are not supposed to use KIAUH to update anything, to avoid bricking the printer, correct?

If you solve the problem with KIAUH, you should update Moonraker so that an update from Fluidd or Mainsail works. Instructions are available in the official Github of Qidi
