Sage 7.0.0.19 on Linux x86-64

[adler187]

Trying to get Sage7 working on Linux 64 bit. I downloaded the 32 bit JVM from Oracle and installed it in to /opt/jre16. I set up my sagesettings file as:

#!/bin/sh

JAVA_HOME=/opt/jre16
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

I always seem to get these errors in sagetv_0.txt:

Fri 10/8 0:33:22.251 [main@1e59128] Error with DB file:java.io.IOException: Invalid DB file, only partially saved., attempting to restore backup.

When I try to login from my windows client, I get a NullPointerException. This is what causes the log entries in sagetv_0.txt.

Do you have an active license? That says your Wiz.bin file is corrupt.

[adler187]

I do have a license and set it up the first time I started sage. Every time I start up it says that the Wiz.bin is corrupt. I can delete it and it still says it is corrupt.

[bcjenkins]

How many network adapters do you have? Can you post the full log?

Thanks

B

[adler187]

I only have one network adapter.

I was able to connect using my SageTV Extender HD300. Unfortunately, using that I am not able to configure my import directories since the up/down/left/right buttons do not work in the list of directories. The enter button does work, but that doesn't help if you don't magically select the correct directory when you enter the list. That is a separate issue, though.

I'm not sure what log you are talking about. That was the entirety of the sagetv_0.txt at that time. I have attached the same log after playing around with extender connected to it.

[Motofreak75]

I ran into this exact issue a while ago. word for word!

Are you starting Sagetv from a cron job ? all Place-shifter clients and extenders had the exact same issues and the wiz bin would get written over every-time I restart the sage server.

Whats happening is that when using Cron jobs it places 644 permissions and not 755 on every file/folder in the sagetv directory.

I simple solved by adding a line to the sage startscript to my rc.local file to start up on boot.

[adler187]

Nope, I can't even get it to run from my local terminal to think about cron jobs.

With your thought on permissions, I re-extracted the tarball to a new directory. I think that I messed with some file permissions (can't remember if it was for sagetv 7 or 6 or both), since they are all screwed up (why does a jpeg need execute authority?), but that didn't make any difference.

[bcjenkins]

Please tell us about your system - OS, Java, User running as, anything else? Also execute ldd /opt/sagetv/server/* |grep "not found" and look for missing libraries. You can ignore the libraries reported as missing that are in the /opt/sagetv/server directory.

[Motofreak75]

adler187

as bcjenkins said list your server info.

I ran into the same issues with permissions and was getting the same loss of control on my extenders and when I started from a cron job it defaulted everything in the sagetv folder to 644 basic giving it read only but root and sagetv could not finish creating a new properties file for my extender (it was only half done)

if you know how, check the folders & files while sage is running.

[adler187]

I am running on openSUSE 11.3 64 bit.

I downloaded the SUN (well, Oracle) 32 bit JRE and installed it in to /opt/jre16, as there is no way to install 32bit and 64bit JREs on the same install with openSUSE, through the package manager (and even though the 64 bit JVM has a -d32 flag, it doesn't support this function). Since the so files are compiled on 32 bit, the JVM has to be 32 bit as well.

Here is the java info:

/opt/jre16/bin/java -version
java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode)

Here is my sage directory permissions:

Everything looks kosher there. Also, I am starting the server as root.

Recently I was doing some environment settings with my sagesettings file. In order for the settings to work correctly, I had to use export instead of just the settings. Perhaps you should try:

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jre16
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Also, I didn't/don't have #!/bin/bash as an interpreter set.

PS - I was able to confirm this was needed by echoing my variables in startsagecore

[adler187]

I exported the variables, but that didn't help at all.

Both were already exported on shell startup, so they didn't need to be exported again.

I checked with export | grep JAVA_HOME and export | grep PATH.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the client from my PC to see if it was problem with the upgrade from v6 of the client, but still no dice.

[adler187]

Well I finally had some time this weekend to mess around with this more. I installed openSUSE 11.3 32 bit in a virtual machine. This had the same issue, so it is not a 64 bit problem. I also tried the latest openSUSE 11.4 milestone and Fedora 14. Both had the same issue as well, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

Edit: This was also using the latest sagetv 7 release.

[adler187]

After a lot more messing around with a Linux Mint VM and the deb installer, I found the problem. I deleted the key and the public/private keys and re-activated.

Apparently, the first time I activated, something messed up or somehow the key got corrupted. This was causing Sage to crash. Perhaps it was due to the 64-bit JVM I was using when I installed initially.

I also noticed that the deb installer creates two directories in /opt: sagetv and sagetv7. The sagetv7 directory holds STVs and ChannelLogos directories, as well as Wiz.bin* files. I see all these files in the sagetv folder as well, so not sure which copies are used. Also, the sagetv files were not stored directly in sagetv, but in sagetv/server. I'm not sure if this is how it is supposed to be installed (or if it matters), since the tar.gz file doesn't contain a parent directory, so the files get extracted to the current directory (which is pretty poor form...).
