However, after clicked the deCONZ icon in Raspbian OS, it does not appeared anythings.

Could anyone advise on this issue?

If this is not the right place for this issue, kindly let me know.

Thanks.

Have you installed Deconz as a headless version? You should try to start the gui with „sudo systemctl start deconz-gui“

Headless version refer to? What is the difference with normal one?

Smanar commented 5 years ago

Are you using a VNC application and if yes wich one ? VNC viewer is not compatible for exemple, you need to use the build-in VNC application (in Raspbian).

I am using original VNC application in Raspbian OS, which is Real VNC.

Installed my deconz a few days ago and had the same problem. I was trying raspian vnc (the default which is installed) and xrdp.

i clicked the deconz icon and nothing happened. cpu stays in idle

Smanar commented 5 years ago

I said that because I already have this kind of problem because of VNC application, this one that we enable with raspi-config is working (vncserver-x11) I m sure tightvncserver don't work, and idk for other.

If you try the command line /usr/bin/deCONZ-autostart.sh You have the message "deCONZ already running" ?

If you try systemctl status deconz You will have a message "Disabled"

But this one is working systemctl status deconz-gui

@jerrychong25 You have started the headless deconz version, this one work without GUI.

Try

sudo systemctl disable deconz
sudo systemctl stop deconz

To Stop the Headless deconz

And try to launch the GUI version

And If it doesn't work in last try

/usr/bin/deCONZ-autostart.sh

or

sudo systemctl enable deconz-gui
sudo systemctl start deconz-gui
jerrychong25 commented 5 years ago

@Smanar,

Thanks, now it is working after running:

sudo systemctl disable deconz
sudo systemctl stop deconz
jerrychong25 commented 5 years ago

@Smanar,

Another question, is it possible to enable deconz-gui and deconz both at the same time?

For now we disable one, and enable another.

Smanar commented 5 years ago

Nope. But why you want to use both in same time ?

ebaauw commented 5 years ago

Both services actually run the same software, deCONZ, one with the GUI enabled and one without the GUI enabled. You can only run one instance of deCONZ at a time, as it exclusively locks the RaspBee or ConBee. In particular, you can only start it from the menu if it isn't running as a service. And if you do run it as a service, you need to decide whether you want to enable the GUI always or never - there's no GUI on demand.

jerrychong25 commented 5 years ago

Hi @ebaauw and @Smanar,

Because I am using Home Assistant to communicate RaspBee with ZigBee sensors via deCONZ REST API Plugin. In this scenario, it is deConz without GUI mode.

Somethings ZigBee sensor got problem, so I need to troubleshoot and confirm communication between ZigBee sensor and RaspBee. In this scenario, I need to open deCONZ with GUI mode, which to see overall ZigBee connection.

Smanar commented 5 years ago

Lol, it's not like the schrodinger's cat, you can't have in same time a system with GUI and a system without GUI. How is the system in the PI, with or without GUI, take the deconz according to it.

If you have a pi with GUI, you can use the GUI version all the time, or close the headless version, launch the GUI and after the GUI version of deconz, I hope for you you won't have troubleshoot all days ^^.

Like have said @ebaauw there isn't GUI on demand, but I don"t see where is the problem on a system that can have GUI.

jerrychong25 commented 5 years ago

Noted and thanks.

Thanks @Smanar and @ebaauw for your great help.

same here with buster and realvnc server. Can't start it.

Hi,

i have the same problem. I can start and stop deconz. grafik

When i do this grafik

The gui does not start. grafik

For the installation i used the guid from dresden-elektronik: https://phoscon.de/de/conbee2/install#raspbian

Smanar commented 4 years ago

Hello, have you a Desktop OS ? Have you try to run deconz using the desktop at least one time ?

Maschler commented 4 years ago

Hi I installed raspian bisher ligth. Today i added the Desktop and was able to Connecticut via von wirh the raspberry pi. I tried to reinstall deconz, but mit does not work.

Smanar commented 4 years ago

Try to launch deconz using the GUi first to check your installation. If you have a clean/empty installation there is sd image "ready to use" for raspberry https://phoscon.de/en/conbee2/sdcard

Maschler commented 4 years ago

Thank you, but sadly a new Installation is not possible for me at the moment.

What do you mean with

Try to launch deconz using the GUi first to check your installation.

Smanar commented 4 years ago

With using the menu and lanch it using the desktop (You can use VNC) With this way we can be sure 1 - the desktop is working (because adding a desktop on a headless configuration is not something easy) 2 - Deconz is correctly installed

Maschler commented 4 years ago

I can connect to the rasp by using vnc. When i click on the deconz icon nothing happens.

So i think point 1 is okay but there must be an issue at the secound point.

Smanar commented 4 years ago

OK, so you have installed an VNC application (on the raspberry) or you are using the "build in" one (with raspi-config) ? Because somes applications are incompatibles.

Maschler commented 4 years ago

I installed xrdp and use the Remote Desktop Connection from Windows.

sudo apt-get install xrdp

the build in version does not worked (was enabled) or i made a mistake by the configuration (at the windows client).

Smanar commented 4 years ago

Some VNC application like tightvncserver are not compatible > https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/issues/343.

I m sorry, but make a desktop with an headless version is never a good idea.

Why do you need a desktop version now ?

thanks a lot, works for me too.

hixus commented 3 years ago

I did not get this working with RealVNC virtual desktop otherwise than just executing directly /usr/bin/deCONZ without any arguments

Smanar commented 3 years ago

You mean using the menu don't work but the command line launch the GUI ?

hixus commented 3 years ago

You mean using the menu don't work but the command line launch the GUI ?

yeah, the autostart script that menu and services use seemed to always go to headless mode but directly executing /usr/bin/deCONZ from terminal worked.
