Multiple conflicting time zone configurations found #36

Closed tehbra1n closed 2 years ago

tehbra1n commented 2 years ago

On a fresh install of Raspberry Pi OS on an RPI4, I get the following errors when trying to start the daemon through systemctl.

I'm running this software without issue on some other RPIs, so I'm at a bit of a loss. /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York is a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/posixrules.

Seeing a similar thing, installed on 4 pi's already and just spinning a new one up and hit the same. Really unsure where to do with it having spent a couple of hours on Google!

Same, so it's not just me.

FWIW there was a tzdata package update that was ready for install this AM. Doing the upgrade and restarting the server produced the same results.

I'm looking into this... more soon...

ironsheep commented 2 years ago

OK, I'm going to need more info about your setups. Please help!

In order to recreate I took a new RPi4 and new uSD, initialized with buster 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf.img

After getting it up on my network at the proper IP, I then ran:

I then followed the RPI-Daemon install instructions to the letter.

MY FINDING: No such issues for me.

So something is different about how you are installing.

@tehbra1n @woodmj74 @jojo416 please provide more information about your context.

woodmj74 commented 2 years ago

@ironsheep - thank you for taking the time to look into this. I decided to do a fresh build again following your comments and can confirm I have this now running.

I am unable to explain what I did different to previous attempts (very good at following instructions) but had done a number of fresh installs originally to check I wasn't missing anything.

Once again, appreciate you looking at this and big thanks for doing this in the first instance, I love it!

I noticed this issue with tzlocal. I installed tzlocal==4.1 and can now successfully start the daemon by hand running the python script, but starting it as a daemon with systemctl still results in an error:

pi@miflora:~ $ sudo systemctl start isp-rpi-reporter.service
Job for isp-rpi-reporter.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status isp-rpi-reporter.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

I got some time to reflash that Pi and reinstall this software and everything works fine. No idea what I might have done differently but I'll close this out.
