64 bit installation errors

[reuben-weatherflow]

I’ve been trying to get this working on a pristine new install on an RPI-4 with 64 bit Bullseye, with no success so far.
There appears to be some dependencies missing in the automated installation script (still figuring the specific list out), but the big problem is when it comes to install Kivy 2.0.0. Bullseye ships with a 1.x version of Kivy which is of course too old so the script attempts to upgrade.

When I attempt to run the script it tries to install Kivy-2.0.0. This fails:

[i] Kivy Python library installation check (will be updated)
[✗] Updating Kivy Python library
Error: Unable to install Kivy Python library

Installing build dependencies: started
Installing build dependencies: finished with status ‘done’
Getting requirements to build wheel: started
Getting requirements to build wheel: finished with status ‘error’
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

I get the same result if I try to install Kivy manually:

python3 -m pip install kivy[base]==2.0.0

However if I install Kivy 2.1.0 it succeeds with the update to 2.1.0.

Then when I run the wfpiconsole.sh script again it attempts to downgrade to Kivy 2.0.0 which of course fails with the same error as above.

Can the dependency on Kivy be made to be 2.0.0 or greater? Or is there something about 2.1.0 which breaks things…?

[peter]

Sorry, I’ve tweaked the install script recently and clearly made a mess of things. Can you try running this command and share all the output that is printed to the terminal?

python3 -m pip install --no-cache-dir kivy[base]==2.0.0

@peter

ython3 -m pip install --no-cache-dir kivy[base]==2.0.0

Sure:

I also ran into this unrelated issue after changing the script to allow kivy 2.1.0:
…
[✓] Installing latest version of WeatherFlow PiConsole: v22.12.3
chown: missing operand after ‘/home//wfpiconsole/’
Try ‘chown --help’ for more information.
root@weatherstation:~/wfpi

I’m doing SSH key authentication as root, which means I am not using sudo.

[peter]

Have you managed to get up and running with v2.1.0? If so, I may wait until I can troubleshoot this when I get home after the weekend

[reuben-weatherflow]

Almost! Everything proceeds much further with kivy 2.1.0 but fails much further down the script at this point:

chown: missing operand after ‘/home//wfpiconsole/’

That looks to be a trivial issue to fix (or workaround) though.

[peter]

Yep, I think this is almost certainly caused by the fact you are running the install script as a root user. It was never designed to be run like that. Are you sure you need to be running as root user? I also use ssh keys for authentication, but not as a root user, and then I use sudo for elevated privileges

[reuben-weatherflow]

@peter

Are you sure you need to be running as root user?

No, no hard requirement. This Pi is built only to run this software and it is in a secured network (with only key based auth) so it’s not a big concern if a script is run as root.

It would be good to add a condition or at least a warning to the installer script if installation as root is not supported or is known to not work

[peter]

Good idea, I will add that as a check.

If you have a spare SD card it would be worthwhile trying to run the installer as a non root user. I can’t test the Kivy install error you are seeing at the moment, but it’s possible that it is caused by running as root

Ok, I did that. Brand new install with the Raspberry Pi Imager (1.7.3) and 64 bit desktop Raspberry Pi OS.

Looks like the same error as above.

I then downloaded both the first and second installation files, told the first to use the local copy of the second, and ran the first installation script. It failed with the same error as above.

I then modified the second installation file in just one place:

KIVY_VERSION=“2.1.0” (was 2.0.0)

Then re-ran the first installation script again and…

I think there are two separate issues:

1. kivy version seems to need updating at least for the RPI-4 on Bullseye as it appears to fix critical bugs
2. Installation as root succeeds except for the final chown error - so if that was fixed up it might otherwise work if installed as root.

After installation, I had to set:

[Display]
Fullscreen = 0

Otherwise all I got was a blank screen. But after changing that, it all seems to work fine.

As a feature request, I’d prefer to only have a dark mode when it’s actually dark - ie 30 mins before sunset and 30 mins after sunrise, and the rest of the time on a lighter colour palette. I haven’t looked into if that can be easily done yet though.

@peter

Good idea, I will add that as a check.

Actually after my most recent installation experience I’d suggest that could be a warning or recommendation that is spat out by the installer, rather than a hard blocker to installation. It looks like installation as root does actually work and end up with a functional system, with the exception of the final chown which I suspect could be easily fixed.

If you’re going to enforce a separate non-privileged user do the install, then creating that user as part of the installation script would be another low-touch way you could approach this in this case.

Obviously it’s your call, I’m coming from the perspective of making it the most bulletproof way the installation could work, and trying to help make it an even better experience (the installation process itself is well done, I’m really impressed at what is done inside the script and the one-touch nature of it all). My system is working great now

[peter]

Thanks for all your testing, it’s really useful!

@reuben-weatherflow

64 bit desktop Raspberry Pi OS.

I admit I missed this detail at the beginning that you are running the 64 bit version. This is why the Kivy installation with v2.0.0 is failing. The Kivy project maintainers don’t provide a pre-compiled wheel for that version that is compatible with the 64 bit version of Raspberry Pi OS, but they do provide a pre-compile wheel for v2.1.0. You are right that there is some missing dependency when trying to compile v2.0.0 from source on the 64 bit Raspberry Pi OS, although it is not clear what that dependency is. If you run the installer on the brand new install of the 32 bit version of Raspberry Pi OS (which is technically the only version I support, although I do allow the the installer to run on the 64 bit version README), then I am 99% sure the installer will complete with no issues with Kivy v2.0.0.

@reuben-weatherflow

If you’re going to enforce a separate non-privileged user do the install, then creating that user as part of the installation script would be another low-touch way you could approach this in this case.

It’s not so much that I am enforcing a separate non-privileged user, it’s simply that best practice tends to suggest that you shouldn’t constantly be running Linux with elevated privileges. I designed the installer with this practice in mind. I will certainly look at fixing the chown command to make the installer complete if you are running as a root user. Although I will also add a warning to the installer that it is running as root user, meaning any mistake I make might have considerable consequences for the stability of someone’s system.

[josh.ives]

Is this related to what I’m getting here when I try to update? It’s been plugging along fine for a month or more and now I kinda am stumped due to this update:

I h

[peter]

Yes. Unfortunately, there are just too many compatibility issues with 64 bit systems that I have had to remove support from the installer. It’s worth noting that I have never officially supported 64 bit systems, and while it worked for a while on an ad-hoc basis, going forwards it will be best to switch to a 32 bit system

[josh.ives]

Is there a manual path to update a 64 bit system?

[peter]

Sure, you can examine the contents of the update function and run the commands contained within the functions manually: WeatherFlow_PiConsole/wfpiconsole.sh at main · peted-davis/WeatherFlow_PiConsole · GitHub
