Problem with deconz on openhabian

Veikko · February 8, 2024, 11:30am

Hi all,

it´s my first post here, so at first sorry, if I miss something.

I used deconz with raspbee 2 on openhabian without problems - until yesterday.
We had a power breakdown, and after reboot openhabian won´t find the deconz-gateway. By checking the service, I got this:

openhabian@openhabian:/tmp $ sudo /bin/systemctl start deconz.service
openhabian@openhabian:/tmp $ sudo /bin/systemctl status deconz.service
● deconz.service - deCONZ: ZigBee gateway – REST API
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/deconz.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: signal) since Thu 2024-02-08 12:15:43 CET; 8s ago
Process: 2780 ExecStart=/usr/bin/deCONZ -platform minimal --http-port=8081 --ws-port=8081 (code=killed, signal=ILL)
Main PID: 2780 (code=killed, signal=ILL)
CPU: 964ms

I suppose, that “code=killed, signal=ILL” isn´t so good?

What had I done to solve this?

stop and start service (more than one time)
remove and new install of deconz
new install of raspbee 2, as described here on phoscon.de
searching on internet without success

Do you have a hint for me, what´s going wrong here?

Best wishes and thank you

No idea, but you can try to launch deconz in command line, with debug enabled > deCONZ command line parameters · dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin Wiki · GitHub

It’s not the same error message, but you are sure you haven’t 2 deconz instance ? the headless + the desktop one ?

You haven’t an old zigbee backup ? if the problem is caused by a problem in database.

Else need to get more information from crash report.

Veikko · February 8, 2024, 6:10pm

Hi Smanar,

thanks for your answer.

Trying deCONZ running in debug-mode goes to

openhabian@openhabian:~ $ /usr/bin/deCONZ --dbg-info=2 > debug.txt
qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin “xcb” in “” even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Aborted

I don´t understand the message. What application I have to reinstall?

I think, that I don´t have 2 deconz instances. There is no desktop on the raspberry pi. How could I check this?
Can this command make it clear?

openhabian@openhabian:~ $ ps -ef | grep deconz
openhab+ 28075 27399 0 19:07 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto deconz

Of course I make automated backups every week as described in openhabian manual. I tried to restart it from the backup - raspberry didn´t did anything :-(. No message, no possibility to connect via ssh. Murphys law, I think.

Have a nice evening.

Smanar · February 9, 2024, 4:18pm

It’s because you are trying to run the desktop mode, add -platform minimal

/usr/bin/deCONZ -platform minimal --dbg-info=2 --dbg-error=2

Sorry, I should have said first.
I don’t think you have 2 deconz instances running according to your request, generaly we are checking both service

$sudo systemctl status deconz
$sudo systemctl status deconz-gui

But you have nothing running on your host ATM.

By backup I mean “zigbee network backup” using phoscon, to restore the zigbee database if this one was corrupted.
But now afer reflexion, it’s something to try, when you have removed deconz, you have removed the database too ?

Your raspbee is reconised ?

Hi, which platform is this, 32-bit or 64-bit Raspberry Pi?
Also which version of deCONZ?

There were a few SIGILL bugs in the past but to my knowledge these are all fixed in recent versions.

Smanar · February 10, 2024, 1:30pm

And it seem the OS don’t see the Raspbee ?

openhabian@openhabian:~ $ GCFFlasher_internal -l
no devices found

Are you sure about your serial configuration ?

Veikko · February 11, 2024, 6:57am

Good morning,

referred to the openhabian documentation, it is 64-bit.

Serial configuration:
I did as described on phoscon.de:

Would you like a login shell accessible over serial? → No
Would you like the serial port hardware to be enabled? → Yes

So I suppose, the OS should see the Raspbee??

Veikko

Smanar · February 11, 2024, 9:43am

Huu, yes, It can’t explain the crash, but you need to see the raspbee using

# GCFFlasher_internal -l
GCFFlasher V3_17 (c) dresden elektronik ingenieurtechnik gmbh
Path             | Vendor | Product | Serial     | Type
-----------------+--------+---------+------------+-------
/dev/ttyAMA0     | 0x0000 | 0x0000  |            | RaspBee

You just have a power break ?
Can try the reboot request to test

sudo GCFFlasher_internal -r

Veikko · February 11, 2024, 10:59am

openhabian@openhabian:~ $ GCFFlasher_internal -r RaspBee
missing -d argument
openhabian@openhabian:~ $ GCFFlasher_internal -r -d RaspBee

openhabian@openhabian:~ $ GCFFlasher_internal -l

openhabian@openhabian:~ $ GCFFlasher_internal -r -d /dev/ttyAMA0
command reset timeout
RaspBee reset failed
openhabian@openhabian:~ $ GCFFlasher_internal -l
no devices found
Path | Serial | Type
------------------±------------±--------------
openhabian@openhabian:~ $

So I did some tries without success :-/.
Is it possible, that the OS has a problem with ALL devices? Maybe this could explain, that the automated backup doesn´t run?

Veikko

Smanar · February 11, 2024, 3:17pm

What are you calling all device ?
But yes an issue on the OS itself is more probable than something break on the Raspbee after a simple power break

Veikko · February 11, 2024, 4:04pm

“all devices”

To summarize my observations:

deconz-Service don´t run and can´t be started.
As I recognized today, other services don´t run, too (I found it for frontail.service (web-based log-viewer). It don´t run, it can´t be started.
Openhabian itself is running without problems.
Automated backups didn´t work (see description some posts before). I´m not able to find a mount point for the backup-SD. I know, that some months ago a start from the backup wasn´t a problem, but now it is.
Raspbee isn´t recognized from the OS.

Because of this observations, I suppose, there could be a general problem with device handling. Please don´t blame me, if I am wrong. I´m more an end user on linux.

I don´t want to make a new install of openhabian, because I learned, that on linux all problem could be solved :-). But I´m ending with ideas :-(.

Veikko

Smanar · February 11, 2024, 6:43pm

And hard to test the raspbee without a second Raspberry.
Your OS on SD card or SSD ? to try fastly with a fresh OS ? On another SD card ofc.

manup · February 11, 2024, 6:50pm

Can you try a connection test with following command:

GCFFlasher_internal -d /dev/serial0 -c

If it works it should print out some packets that are received from the firmware.
Note that deCONZ must not be running while doing this.

(The /dev/serial0 should be a symlink to the /dev/ttyS0 device name)

Veikko · February 12, 2024, 6:20pm

Hi Smanar and manup,

OS is on SD-Card. I have another SC-Card available, so a fresh OS could be an alternative. But I´m frightening for configuring openhabian again :-). But to say it clearly - it would be possible.

I breaked it here. It lasts some seconds from one line to the next, so for the output it lasts ca. 10 minutes.

Thanks for your help.

manup · February 13, 2024, 12:04am

The output looks correct and communication between GCFFlasher and RaspBee works.
Could it be that OpenHab is not configured to use the right device path?

Veikko · February 13, 2024, 5:26am

Good morning,

how can I find out, which device path OpenHab uses?
My observations:

Until power lost OpenHab worked correctly - no problems with RaspBee. I could use a connected power switch. Reading and setting commands: both worked.
After the power lost I couldn´t reconnect to the RaspBee.
I tried to make a new installation of RaspBee (as described here on phoscon), and I made a new installation of the deconz-binding (via Openhabian-Config).
I don´t realized errors in logs or so on (Maybe I didn´t watched the right places?).
Raspbee isn´t recognized (see above).

As Smanar wrote, that testing a raspberry without a second raspberry is hard: Could it help to use a Linux-virtual-machine on a windows host?

Veikko

Smanar · February 13, 2024, 6:14pm

You can try to run deconz with a specified device path

/usr/bin/deCONZ --dev=/dev/serial0 -platform minimal

Hm, no success:

Hmm dang that’s weird, there should be no illegal instruction fault in v2.25.3

This can only debugged via GDB. I’d would be super helpful if you can debug with the following commands:

sudo apt install gdb

gdb --args deCONZ --dev=/dev/serial0 -platform minimal

GDB opens and loads deCONZ, now type:

r and hit enter (r means run)

deCONZ should now crash as above…

Type bt and hit enter, this gives us a backtrace where we should see what crashes.
