[SOLVED] 8.3.1 Legacy on Pi Zero - failed upgrade.

[the_bertrum]

Edit: Solved with 8.3.2 bugfix.

Hi Folks,

I've just tried to upgrade my Pi Zero with the 8.3.1 image.  I tried in place update first, then used the image from within the Raspberry Pi Imager tool, then same to a fresh SD card, then finally the image downloaded directly from the moOde website.  With all of them, I get this:

Code:

20230417 160204 worker: --
20230417 160207 worker: -- Start moOde 8 series
20230417 160207 worker: --
20230417 160207 worker: Successfully daemonized
20230417 160207 worker: Waiting for Linux startup...
20230418 153713 worker: ERROR: Linux startup failed to complete after waiting 180 seconds

There's a bit of the UI available but it behaves very oddly, and I can get to the system via SSH, so that suggests to me that Linux has indeed started up.  Moodeutl commands seems to work.  It looks to me as if most of it is there, just the startup process is wating for a signal that never comes so it can continue.

Any ideas where I can look for what's up?

Further info

Code:

master@prometheus:/ $ systemctl is-system-running
degraded

worker.php wants that to say "running".

Next question, how do I find what's degraded?

[the_bertrum]

And a bit more information: allowing a value of "degraded" in the worker.php lets things continue, and I've got a working system.  So the degradation isn't fatal it seems.

Just tried a fresh install on 8.3.1 Legacy on an RPi Zero W. The webUI seems to come up ok but right from the get-go there are weirdnesses.

• missing some information like host/player name and browser title in m>Config>System panel
  
• from same panel, "System info" returns no information
  
• entering via SSH, I get the MOTD

Which ends as described by @the_bertrum.

ETA: and systemctl reports "degraded".

[the_bertrum]

This is the cause of the "degraded" status:

Code:

master@prometheus:~ $ systemctl --failed
 UNIT            LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION
● haveged.service loaded failed failed Entropy Daemon based on the HAVEGE algorithm

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
1 loaded units listed

Now to find what that does....

[the_bertrum]

Code:

sudo systemctl disable haveged

followed by a reboot and the system starts and all is well.

I've no idea what disabling that service might do though...  It is something to do with "entropy".

[TheOldPresbyope]

Yeah, the entropy is a thing but shouldn't be cropping up here.

By way of contrast to my Zero-W experience

1) fresh install of the 64bit moOde 8.3.1 on a Pi4B seems to have gone through without issue. No weirdness discovered yet.

2) attempt to update a 64bit moOde 8.3.0 on a Pi3A seemed to work but resulted in weirdness (updater claimed to install new kernel but moodeutl reported old one; the update check kept claiming there was an update available). I thought I'd rebooted after the update but it's possible I reboot the wrong player in the heat of the moment. Anyway, rebooting again seems to have cleared things up.

moodeutl still reports the missing file

Code:

Gathering info...
grep: /sys/class/leds/led0/trigger: No such file or directory

My 64bit players (Pi4) both upgraded without an issue (one in place, one fresh install then restore from backup).
I too get that missing file report on both.

Yes me too and because of it no led control or my own play indicator. A minor nit.

[Tim Curtis]

I'll have to see if I still have a zero somewhere to run some tests on :-0

1. Looks like the is-running check needs enhancing. The check is there to prevent a race condition where worker gets ahead of Linux processing the firstrun.sh script generated by the Pi Imager. When this happens WiFi credentials get overwritten.

2. Entropy references the amount of "randomness" thats been generated and stored by Linux during its startup. This is needed for things like generating wpa keys etc. Long ago it was necessary to add the haveged service to ensure enough entropy was generated but now it may not be needed anymore?

3. I'll investigate the error from Sysinfo. Prolly just need to redirect error output to null.
