Unfortunately the Deb package manager still appears to be broken.Output as follows

hi @homeautomate8 can you please attach the following file: /etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf.dist Probably the lirc configuration that I included in homegenie is not suitable for Raspberry because of wrong plugin path: plugindir = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lirc/plugins

homeautomate8 commented 4 years ago

Before I delve any further into this could you clarify the following:

What changes were made between Stable 5 and Stable 6 releases

Was the latest release built and tested around x86 processor on something like Ubuntu Xenial

genemars commented 4 years ago

No changes, just trying to fix the debian package to make it work with latest distros. Tested on Ubuntu 19.

homeautomate8 commented 4 years ago

Ok.That explains a lot. I manually installed HG omitting Lirc and it worked fine.Here's the contents of that file.

These are the default options to lircd, if installed as

/etc/lirc/lirc_options.conf. See the lircd(8) and lircmd(8)

manpages for info on the different options.

#

Some tools including mode2 and irw uses values such as

driver, device, plugindir and loglevel as fallback values

in not defined elsewhere.

[lircd] nodaemon = False driver = devinput device = auto output = /var/run/lirc/lircd pidfile = /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid plugindir = /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lirc/plugins permission = 666 allow-simulate = No repeat-max = 600

genemars commented 4 years ago

I've removed `lirc' package from HomeGenie dependencies since the LIRC interface driver is to be installed from package manager. Let me now if HomeGenie now installs on Raspbian Buster.

homeautomate8 commented 4 years ago

Tried again from a fresh install and it's even worse. Your service daemon failed with the following results

homegenie.service Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/homegenie; generated) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2020-04-29 14:58:41 IST; 1h 0min ago Docs: man:systemd-sysv-generator(8)

On further investigation trying to run HG in debug mode as follows

cd /usr/local/bin/homegenie sudo mono HomeGenie.exe

justs returns a blank line and nothing starts.

Enabling/disabling the service gives the following error

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo systemctl enable homegenie.service homegenie.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install. Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable homegenie update-rc.d: error: cannot find a LSB script for homegenie

As I said previously, manually installing HG and installing optional packages minus Lirc works fine. I now see you've updated the optional packages minus Lirc, Libusb and CM15. How are these handled now.

Also I see you still employ SysV init scripts.Could this not be handled more efficiently with the more modern SystemD method

genemars commented 4 years ago

I'll check this out, but I only removed lirc.

homeautomate8 commented 4 years ago

It appears Github were having comms issues. I downloaded Stable 7 again.Looks like there was some file corruption downloading.I finally got the installer to work again. Just to confirm that the Deb package manager is working again.

Thanks Gene
