Fail to start/install in Raspi #69

Hey, could you paste the output of
This should give us a hint what exactly went wrong here. |

Hi, I was actually going to post the same thing. I am able to get Kelvin working fine on my rasberry pi zero W running raspbian when I open the file manually through the command line. However, I have followed the instructions in your readme file twice and both times I get the same error as what Sarcas666 posted. I do see raspbian loading Kelvin.service when it starts, but it's not able to do anything like download an update, make a config file, or find a location. I think it has something to do with the permissions. Maybe from setting up a new user? But I'm also a Linux noob and really have no idea what I'm doing. Unfortunately, I'm formatting my rasberry pi again to try and figure something out again so can't give you logs, but if it'll help, I'll go through the steps to install Kelvin as a system process again and share the output with you. Thanks! Otherwise, really awesome program and the reason I filled my house with ambience lights! Thanks so much for your work! |

I had the same problem ( Fetch latest release v1.3.2
Create directory
Create user to run as
Install
Set permissions
Start the service and look into log
I noticed the error ( I started the service again and looked into the log: At this point, it finally asked to press the physical button on the bridge. After this, I got back to scheduling the service like normal: Start on boot
Confirm status

was able to fix it by following these steps:
Fetch *latest* release v1.3.2
wget
https://github.com/stefanwichmann/kelvin/releases/download/v1.3.2/kelvin-linux-arm-v1.3.2.tar.gz
-O /tmp/kelvin-arm.tar.gz
Create directory
sudo mkdir -p /opt/kelvin
Create user to run as
sudo adduser --system --group --shell /bin/nologin --no-create-home --home
/opt/kelvin kelvin
Install
cd /opt/kelvin
sudo tar -xvzf /tmp/kelvin-arm.tar.gz
sudo mv kelvin-linux-arm*/* .
sudo rmdir kelvin-linux-arm*
sudo rm /tmp/kelvin-arm.tar.gz
Set permissions
sudo chown -R kelvin:kelvin /opt/kelvin
Start the service and look into log
sudo systemctl start kelvin
journalctl -fu kelvin.service
*(close log by pressing CTRL+C)*
I noticed the error (code=exited, status=210/CHROOT) was gone now,
but *kelvin* was unable to discover my bridge, so I stopped the service
sudo systemctl start kelvin
and edited config.json to explicitly state the (fixed) IP of my HUE bridge
sudo nano /opt/kelvin/config.json
"bridge": {
"ip": "192.168.xxx.xxx",
"username": ""
},
I started the service again and looked into the log:
sudo systemctl start kelvin
journalctl -fu kelvin.service
At this point, it finally asked to press the physical button on the bridge.
After pressing the button, it registered and took control over the lights.
After this, I got back to scheduling the service like normal:
Start on boot
sudo systemctl enable kelvin
Confirm status
sudo systemctl status kelvin

Tried it again, with the latest version as described by c0sm0t0pian above, but still have the same problem. Running on an rPi3 with buster, everything updated & upgraded. Tried a second time, removed everything from the previous attempt, removed the user kelvin, but no success. Then I noticed the kelvin.service file in /etc/systemd/system was different then the one in /opt/kelvin/etc/ , username and workingdir for example were different. I deleted the one in /etc/systemd/system and copied the one from /opt/kelvin/etc/ . It still did not work, until I manually added the ip of my hue bridge in /etc/systemd/system/kelvin.service . Now it seems to work...

@Sarcas666 you either did not update to https://github.com/stefanwichmann/kelvin/releases/download/v1.3.2/kelvin-linux-arm-v1.3.2.tar.gz -O /tmp/kelvin-arm.tar.gz or you haven't reloaded you systemctl config |
Hi there,
I am a beginner with the Raspi and unix. I got some stuff working by simply following step-by-step instructions. I followed the exact instructions for installing kelvin, but unfortunately it won't run, and I have no idea how to fix it.
When checking of the process is running it says:
Any suggestions?
Thx
