Amahi Forums

Hi testers!

I need testers for HTPC Manager on Amahi 7, need testing for install, uninstall and use/configuration of app.

App description: https://www.amahi.org/apps/xdm

App source: http://xdm.lad1337.de/

pm me here or on irc with your amahi username so I can add you as tester if you're interested in helping out.

my nick on irc is same as here, dano5

Hey dano5, i just installed and am currently having a 503 error.
I took a reading of the systemctl status for xdm and also /var/log/messages.

It looks like its trying to restart continuously.

i sent the command "sudo systemctl stop xdm.service" a few times (mainly to clear the status readout for my benafit) and then did "sudo systemctl start xdm.service" and it looks like it ran for a second and the stopped again.

Any idea what is happening?

There were some dependencies missing. I have been looking at it and not sure what's the problem now. Diagnosing and will post back when I know for sure it's working.

I just did a little digging and found that i needed Flask-Babel using pip. Here is what i did,

sudo yum install python-pip
-installing python-pip

sudo pip install Flask-Babel
i got this

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): Flask-Babel in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): Flask in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from Flask-Babel)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): Babel>=1.0 in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from Flask-Babel)

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): Werkzeug>=0.7 in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from Flask->Flask-Babel)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): itsdangerous>=0.21 in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from Flask->Flask-Babel)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pytz>=0a in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (from Babel>=1.0->Flask-Babel)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): markupsafe in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages (from Jinja2>=2.5->Flask-Babel)
Cleaning up...

So i added the flag of --upgrade to the end

sudo pip install Flask-Babel --upgrade

Now i can run xdm using "python /var/hda/web-apps/xdm/html/XDM.py"

When i tried to run it as a stand alone before i was getting "ImportError: cannot import name format_timedelta"

Now that i have it running by itself i tried it using the service and still got the same error as before (too many restarts). I am guessing it may have something to do with the systemctl scripts.

Thought i would share what i found so far and see if it helps.

Thanks for the update. We have removed the pip install piece as there are native packages in Fedora 19 that replaces the features.

python-flask-babel and python-flask

looks like that native package won't work...have to test more to figure out what the issue is...

Not sure what the problem could be as it was working at one point with those packages. As you said, more investigation is needed.

just tested on a fresh hda and default install will not work, fails with same message as above,
but the second I install "python-pip" and run the problem is more or less fixed,
more or less is because of an issue with ownership of the data directory, it fails when owned by apache:users,
might have to change that to root:root, will test and post results and upgrade app as needed.

not sure what to do about pip and babel though, since python-flask-babel and python-flask doesn't work...

Interesting. Permissions can be an issue, sometimes without knowing. Will have to see what works best I guess.

It might be that python-babel in repo is too old since doing a pip upgrade works. And since I didn't have to install flask through pip at least that works.

Will reset the hda and test with root ownership on data dir and pip upgrade only, hopefully that fixes the app.

Unfortunately I don't think we can leave out installing pip and upgrade Babel in the install script...unless someone else got any great ideas?
