CouchPotato not starting

[MtK]

oh, I created it in FN land...

but then, why doesn't the plugin create it in its own jail if it needs it?

it should.. unless the UID is already taken somehow but I doubt it. Do any other plugins work?

 

[MtK]

your plugin just created its own jail, so the chances that the UID is taken are slim to none.


and yes, I have 2-3 other plugins working just fine...

and when I tried to adduser:

Code:

pw: group name `media' already exists
adduser: ERROR: There was an error adding user (media).

hmm, so your jail does have the 'media' group? I wonder if my plugin was able to create the group but not the user. I'm confused why though.

Maybe try creating a plugins jail (with no plugins), then install a plugin on to that jail

 

[MtK]

the only thing I can think of is the fact that I have a 'media' group in FNLand.

I don't see how that would affect the user's in the jail though. Did you try my last suggestion?

 

[MtK]

well, I changed the 'media' group in FNLand to 'media2' and reinstalled your plugin - it starts.
reinstalled the FN plugin and it doesn't start... :)

 

[MtK]

Code:

# jexec 9 csh
root@customplugin_1:/ # cat /etc/group | grep media
media2:*:921:mtk
media:*:816:

the groups are shared between the JLand the FNLand...

Code:

# jexec 9 csh
root@customplugin_1:/ # cat /etc/group | grep media
media2:*:921:mtk
media:*:816:

the groups are shared between the JLand the FNLand...

good to know, thanks for the debugging.

 

[MtK]

I'll create a bug report when I have the final findings, which will include you plugin's case as well.

deleted both plugins and jails.
reinstalled the FN plugin:

Code:

# jexec 11 csh
root@couchpotato_1:/ # service couchpotato start

/usr/pbi/couchpotato-amd64/data is empty :/

 

[MtK]

this was solved too.
it was caused because I manually created the 'media' user.
