Test IIAB on Linux Mint 21 #3307

holta · 2022-07-13T22:02:44Z

Mint 21 Beta (based on Ubuntu 22.04) has QA details posted and is downloadable here:

https://linuxmint.com/mirrors.php

Thanks everyone who can help!

Internet-in-a-Box background if you're new:

holta · 2022-07-14T00:20:45Z

FYI an "OEM install" of Mint 21 Beta was necessary for some reason (with VirtualBox).

Otherwise "Failed to start LSB: disk temperature monitoring daemon" flashed on screen during boot, and the VM's actual disk wasn't mounted, preventing install of the OS. In short, you can explore Mint 21 (like a Live CD) that way, but not actually install it.

(Certainly that was the case using ISO linuxmint-21-cinnamon-64bit-beta.iso from 2022-07-11.)

holta · 2022-07-14T00:53:54Z

A LARGE-sized IIAB install is currently underway...currently in Stage 6...so far so good:

A reminder that sudo apt install nodejs npm needs to be run manually prior to MInt 21's official release. And also:

sudo echo 'nodejs_installed: True' >> /etc/iiab/iiab_state.yml

(This installed Node.js 12.22.9 and npm 8.5.1 which are generally good enough for testing!)

holta · 2022-07-14T01:05:02Z

Node-RED 2.2.2 doesn't install with Node.js 12.x apparently? In any case, opt out for now:

TASK [nodered : Copy /usr/lib/node_modules/node-red/settings.js to /home/nodered/.node-red/settings.js] ****************************************************************

Install completed + rebooted + looks good.

Above networkd-dispatcher concern discussed/mentioned here:

holta · 2022-07-21T15:00:50Z

@jvonau reminds us to check that AP actually comes up, when tested on a real laptop or similar!

jvonau · 2022-10-05T21:17:49Z

eb3c0a2 Check if networkd-dispatcher is installed and if there is a traceback.

holta · 2022-10-06T21:44:38Z

Mint 21 currently offers this networkd-dispatcher apt package: (which would seem to solve the earlier problem)

root@box:~# apt list networkd-dispatcher
Listing... Done
networkd-dispatcher/jammy-updates,jammy-updates,jammy-security,jammy-security,now 2.1-2ubuntu0.22.04.2 all [installed]

jvonau · 2022-10-07T10:13:49Z

sudo journalctl -u networkd-dispatcher --no-pager on current Mint installs and note if there are any tracebacks present would confirm there are no issues moving forward.

holta · 2022-10-07T11:59:22Z

journalctl -u networkd-dispatcher

root@mint21:~# journalctl -u networkd-dispatcher | pastebinit -b sprunge.us

holta · 2022-10-07T14:07:41Z

journalctl -u networkd-dispatcher

root@mint21:~# journalctl -u networkd-dispatcher | pastebinit -b sprunge.us http://sprunge.us/gfLsU1

I probably should have mentioned that the above is a vanilla/virgin install of Linux Mint 21.

(IIAB has not been installed.)

What if you sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd then sudo reboot does the traceback go away?

holta · 2022-10-07T17:02:48Z

What if you sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd then sudo reboot does the traceback go away?

Yes.

Traceback goes away, as you can see in final 6 lines (resulting from reboot) here:

Good, think #3392 should be tested against Mint with WiFi so the 00-iiab-debug hooks get installed.

holta · 2022-10-07T17:53:42Z

Good, think #3392 should be tested against Mint with WiFi so the 00-iiab-debug hooks get installed.

Ok.

I don't have access to any laptops or similar WiFi devices where Mint 21 can be installed right now.

Let's try to find someone who does.

Finally, if PR #3392 is very safe, one option might be to merge it now (or soon) and then seek out this important Mint 21 test in the ensuing days.

jvonau · 2022-10-07T18:04:22Z

How about I relax the WiFi conditional in 3392 and lets test that on the VM and all installs going forward? Some feedback is better than none..

holta · 2022-10-07T18:08:29Z

VM testing is easy & nearly instantaneous if that helps, great.

jvonau · 2022-10-07T18:10:28Z

Done, will need a git pull to grab the latest commit and sudo iiab-network to install the hook

holta · 2022-10-07T23:34:53Z

FYI the PR below is now merged — with testing explanation(s) on that ticket here:

PR Move 'hooks' to their respective backends #3392 (comment)

holta · 2022-10-16T23:32:04Z

Progress ongoing:

Should IIAB run 'rfkill unblock wlan' ? This worked to get IIAB running on Mint 21 on Acer TravelMate P643-M #3398
Mint 21 pop-up error / warning "loading /etc/profile" "sudo: a password is required" #3404

holta · 2022-10-23T14:09:04Z

This should be closed soon, as Mint 21 is heavily tested — and even Moodle 4.1 LTS pre-releases (on PHP 8.1) finally appear reliable (:

Any chance you might have time to run an IIAB install test in the coming week?!
