Username error mooode 8.3.9

I'm running into this error when installing on a fresh image of moOde 8.3.9 Raspberry Pi 4b.

Sorry I shouldn't have included that, it was from an older attempt. The issue is with the username, here's the install log:

Made some changes in https://github.com/dresdner353/mpd2chromecast/pull/12 that should fix the issue. In the meantime until it merges you can use my fork: https://github.com/papampi/mpd2chromecast

[ajaykay]

Still no joy with your fork, i'm root user (not pi, as there seems to be no user pi in moode?!)

Downloading or updating mpd2chromecast...

My fork doesn't care what's the user, pi, volumio, moode, alex, ... But I have not tested it with root user.

It looks like its trying to install on /mpd2chromecast and not /root/mpd2chromecast Let me make some changes for root user.

[papampi]

@ajaykay Try this patch and let me know:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/papampi/mpd2chromecast/papampi-patch-1/install.sh | sudo bash

[ajaykay]

As far as I can see the latest moode build doesn't have a built in user, just the one you create when you set it up. So my username is the only one on the device when I list it apart from 'root'.

I installed with this script on latest yesterday. Some thing is strange it detects user and set home directory:

Detected User:atl
Detected User Home:/home/atl

But later it shows them empty : Installing mpd2chromecast user: pwd:

Let me check and make some changes.

[papampi]

@ajaykay Found and fixed it, has forgotten to export variables. Should be ok now, test the patch again.

[ajaykay]

Perfect! All looks good to me.

It seems like it couldn't install requirements.txt with pip Does it working ok?

[ajaykay]

All seems fine to me, MPD and URL streams work 👍

Big thanks!

[ajaykay]

Upgraded to moode v.9.02 from v8 and it's broken whatever the fix was.

Installed git, then the original mpd2chromecast, then your fix, and it returns:

Are you sure you are running this command: curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/papampi/mpd2chromecast/master/install.sh | sudo bash

I just tried it on 9.0.2 and installed with no problem.

[ajaykay]

Yes, see the full log. Looking at it I'm not sure if something is screwy with my install as it can't CH to the home dir.

[papampi]

So you are logged in with user atl but there is no /home/atl folder?

[ajaykay]

Correct. I don't even know at this stage. Tried via putty and web ssh. Same thing.

Will try and reflash from scratch.

[papampi]

Add home directory for your user mkdir /home/atl

[ajaykay]

Nada, tried adding both dirs via sudo, /home/atl and /home/atl/mpd2chromecast

Try to reflash 9.0.2 ... seems like that's easier than debugging this problem

[ajaykay]

Not to self - never do an in place upgrade.

All sorted, once again.

[dresdner353]

Hi folks, sorry I'm late to party here. I never get notifications from github on these issues etc.

I'm flashing a fresh image now from the latest bookworm image for moode and will go through the install and sort out any issues it has.

The original install.sh probed detection of moode and volumio files and then toggled between there being a pi user (moode) or volumio user. Then it goes from there in running a sed on the service file to customise the install location (home dir) as it runs the mpd2chromecast agent as this non-root user.

I'll try and rework it as required so that it just works again.

[papampi]

@dresdner353 I already made some changes and improvements in this PR: https://github.com/dresdner353/mpd2chromecast/pull/12

[dresdner353]

Thanks for the submissions. I took a different approach as your changes were likely to do some damage with the pip3 breakage.

so the cron stuff was removed.. that was ancient stuff I had done with running this script from cron and was trying to undo that config for someone upgrading... at this stage, it can be taken out.

So the user git commands are pure rm -rf and git clone as before. No pull attempts.

the package installs are pure direct python pre-built packages as they do not want the pip approach any longer with the rpi.. thankfully all I need is there in apt and just added git as you had done. No need to test git.. install the package, if its there already no harm done.

apt-get update apt-get -y install git python3-cherrypy3 python3-mpd2 python3-pychromecast

Lastly the sed updates on the service record had to be bit smarter as they needed to sub a user and home directory.. the old approach in that template was assuming the home was in /home and really that can't be done any longer. The user could be anywhere now given this new model

sed -e "s%USER%${HOME_USER}%g" \ -e "s%HOME%${HOME_DIR}%g" \ ${HOME_DIR}/mpd2chromecast/mpd2chromecast.service >/tmp/mpd2chromecast.service

Thanks for all the troubleshooting you went through and apologies for not being able to chime in earlier. I'll do more testing on moode tonight and tackle volumio tomorrow.. thats always got some more nonsense to address

[dresdner353]

Changes now made for Volumio, tested (painfully) and pushed.

Volumio as usual lags behind on rpi images. So the new changes now source the /etc/os-release file to get the ${VERSION_ID} env var... if that is >= 12 (Bookworm or later), it pulls in packages from apt only. Not sure if the intention of the /etc/os-release is to act as an env file, but it most definitely works that way when sourced.

For everything else (Volumio or older Moode installs), it will detect the VERSION_ID < 12, pull in python, pip3 and git only from apt and use pip then for the python modules installation.

In fairness, the new approach of pushing the official apt packages is just much faster with the install now happening quite quickly on Bookworm (the apt-get update is the slowest part of that).

The pip approach takes a ridiculuously long time on my pi4 between whatever it's doing to pull the module code and probably compiling some of the Python C-source code along the way. Even to move to a pyenv approach here would get worse again as we'd end up compiling Python from scratch on the rpi.

The new changes to make things play nice between Moode and Volumio or more correctly Bookworm versus older Raspi-OS versions:

# source the /etc/os-release file to 
# collect various platform variables
. /etc/os-release

# refresh package sources
apt-get update

if [ "${VERSION_ID}" -ge "12" ]
then
    # install all packages from apt
    # bookworm and presumably beyond
    echo "Performing Bookworm or later package install (all from apt)"
    apt-get -y install git python3-pip python3-cherrypy3 python3-mpd2 python3-pychromecast
else
    # everything prior to bookworm
    # git, python/pip from apt and pip for the modules
    echo "Performing pre-Bookworm install (pip3 for python modules)"
    apt-get -y install git python3-pip 
    pip3 install pychromecast cherrypy python-mpd2
