Unexpected error message popup: The image does not contain userid, etc. - hui13 - 01-21-2025
Hi,
I installed 9.2.1 a couple of days ago without any issues. Installed from fresh image using the Pi imager with userid, password, wifi and ssh setup. Running Moode on Pi-3B+, 1GB, library on SMB share. I have been using Moode since day one (just about) so this is not my first installation.
For the past few years I have installed some software after initial setup to add functionality, most recently for HQPlayer and Tidal, as well as a PiJuice UPS. I only mention this to be thorough, since everything is running fine, almost.
While I was installing Docker, I got the impression that the system hanged, as it appeared unresponsive and nothing seemed to be happening in the terminal app. In short, I grew impatient and restarted Moode. Not ideal but I had done this before without any apparent issues. After restart, I completed my installations and everything works fine, as usual and as expected.
The only problem is, and this came as a surprise and is now just an annoyance, every time I change menu windows, I get a pop up message: Error: The image does not contain a userid .....

Any way I can get rid of this without reinstalling from scratch? Like I mentioned everything is functioning correctly.
Thanks,
John

Here's the function in inc/common.php that would have assigned NO_USERID_DEFINED. This will give you a way to determine which of the conditions may not have been met.
Code:
// Assumes only one dir under /home, the one matching the userid entered into
// the Raspberry Pi Imager when making the image.
function getUserID() {
// Delete '/home/pi' if no corresponding userid exists. The homedir pi is
// created by the moode-player package install during in-place update.
if (file_exists('/home/pi/') && empty(sysCmd('grep ":/home/pi:" /etc/passwd'))) {
sysCmd('cp /home/pi/.xinitrc /tmp/xinitrc');
sysCmd('rm -rf /home/pi/');
}
// Return empty string if locked password for userid pi. A locked password
// is from the pi-gen build and remains unless a userid is set in Pi Imager.
if (sysCmd('cat /etc/shadow | grep pi | cut -d ":" -f 2')[0] == '!') {
// No userid set in Pi Imager
$userId = NO_USERID_DEFINED;
} else {
// Return userid or empty string if no subdirs under /home/
$userId = sysCmd('ls /home/')[0];
if (strpos($userId, 'ls: cannot access') !== false) {
$userId = NO_USERID_DEFINED;
}
}
// Install xinitrc script
if ($userId != NO_USERID_DEFINED) {
if (file_exists('/tmp/xinitrc')) {
sysCmd('cp -f /tmp/xinitrc /home/' . $userId . '/.xinitrc');
}
}
return $userId;

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
I think that this may be beyond my skillset. I looked at what you sent, and to the best of my understanding everything looks fine. No pi subdirectory under home, only the one that I set. Looked at /etc/shadow file and pi not there, only my username, and password is not locked. Not sure if I missed something. The only wild guess that I can make is that I have a user called pijuice, and the beginning of its /etc/shadow entry looks like this: "pijuice:!:". Probably not this as I had the pijuice software running under Moode 8.*.* without any issues.
Let me know what you think. I might just live with it until I can't and then reinstall. Do not want to waste our precious time.

That could be it. Try the command below.
sudo cat /etc/shadow | grep pi | cut -d ":" -f 2
Moode 8 (a year old at this point) didn't have function getUserID().

Yes, that is it. Thanks.

Anything I can do about it?
