Legacy Cumulus 1 release 1.9.4 (build 1099) - 28 November 2014

CMX v4 - b4023

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

I think the problem is .net 8 installation on LMDE 5 ELSIE Cinnamon

Hello,

I converted the CumulusMX version from version 3 to version 4 without any problems.

Via puYYY I give the following command in the correct folder:

cmx@raspberrypi:/opt/CumulusMX $ dotnet CumulusMX.dll.

As long as puTTY is running, the site is accessible via a browser

Version 3 of CumulusMX ran as a service.

This is also necessary with version 4.

The following command leads to an error message: cmx@raspberrypi:/opt/CumulusMX $ sudo dotnet CumulusMX.dll -install.

The error message is: sudo: dotnet: command not found.

I can't find the solution on the forum.

Does anyone have the solution for this error message?

Henk.

Since you can run dotnet without sudo from the same folder, the problem must be on your system path variables. It seems that your normal user does have a proper path to dotnet, but root/sudo is missing that info. Unfortunately I don’t know exactly how to fix it, so maybe someone else or google can give a clue.

From Mark’s instructions:
The following is best done manually

Code: Select all

sudo echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/dotnet' | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/dotnet.sh > /dev/null
sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/dotnet.sh
sudo ln -s /usr/share/dotnet/dotnet /usr/bin/dotnet

Hello,
I have re-entered the following programming rules:

Sudo echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/dotnet' | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/dotnet.sh > /dev/null
Sudo chmod +x /etc/profile.d/dotnet.sh
Sudo ln -s /usr/share/dotnet/dotnet /usr/bin/dotnet
Now I don't get an error message anymore, but ...
The following rules appear on the screen:

- installing as a systemctld service 'cumulusmx' to run as userid cmx...
- Cumulus MX is now installed to run as service.

Immediately followed by the following sentence:
2024-06-02 15:44:44.311 Cumulus terminating.
So I've come a little further, but CumulusMX is terminated immediately after its installation as a service.
How is possible?

Try the following:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl start cumulusmx.service
That should start up the service - but I would check to see if it is running already before doing that.

If you still have issues, please attach a copy of your latest log file from your MXdiags folder to a reply to this topic, zipping it first if it is large.

Hello,
I keep on trying, hour after hour. I don’t give up.
After my last post I tried out the old rules:sudo systemctl start cumulusmx.
IT IS WORKING.
Also sudo systemctl status cumulusmx and sudo systemctl stop cumulusmx.
I’m happy.

That's because using the -install option just sets up the service then exits. As @freddie has posted, you then need to control the service that was created - starting, stopping, restarting

Hello,
I was assuming that new command lines were needed, all starting with dotnet in connection with the new version 4. But now it turns out that the old command lines still apply.

Thank everyone.

@Het Doelpunt

You may need to issue the command:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl enable cumulusmx.service
to ensure that the service is restarted automatically if you reboot the system.

Hi,
Where can I find custom logs in version 3 to transfer to version 4?
If you have enabled them in Custom Logs Settings they are saved in the \data folder, in both v3 and v4. If you did the \datav3 to v4 migration they would have been included in the v4 \data folder.

Enjoy,
Paul

Perfect, thank you. And the .net 8 installion in Linux Mint Cinnamon should be in the same folder of the CMX version 4 or not?

Thanks
