Solved - This orbiter will be closed message.

[pigdog]

Hi,

After everything seemed to update correctly I rebooted.

On startup I am getting an OK screen (after flicker screen view) that states

An orbiter with the same device id of 127.0.0.1 was started.
This orbiter will be closed.

Then...grey screen of death.  Cursor moves.

Did a <CTRL/ALT>F1 or F2 then back to F7 kinda got main menu back, left/right mouse clicks - no flicker screens.

Used main menu to kinda get to KDE desktop but was part successful then lost everything but OrbiterGL screen on status bar.

Managed to get console window working.

Played around going back to orbiter but things really screwed up trying quick reload.

Got,

An orbiter with the same device id of 127.0.0.1 was started.
This orbiter will be closed.

...messages.

Did a Quick Regen this Orbiter.   Things seemed to settle down.

Did complete cold boot.  Power off PSU.  Power up.

Same black OK screen...

An orbiter with the same device id of 127.0.0.1 was started.
This orbiter will be closed.

...was generated.

Then grey screen of death.  Did <Ctrl/ALT> F1  Hit return for login prompt.

<CTRL/ALT> F7 main menu screen "no flicker photo background".

Main menu> Advanced> Regen this Orbiter get "Stage 1 of 2" messages.

Flicker photo background appears.

Main Menu> KDE Desktop works O.K.

Webadmin via Konqueror works.

Haven't tried MD's yet.

Is it only me?

[fido]

The very same thing happened to me since updating my 0810 build a couple of days ago.  I got the message

"An orbiter with the same device id of 127.0.0.1 was started.
This orbiter will be closed."

I had to reboot and thankfully it all worked again.  It has happened to me at least twice now.

In addition and whether this is related or not i dont know, but each time any new device is detected, DCERouter dies and reloads.  The device is added fine.....

Very strange.

[maverick0815]

same  happened here...

[Itsik]

yep, here as well ...

[posde]

Did anyone open a trac ticket with some logs about this...

[pigdog]

Hi posde,

I was considering doing a from scratch rebuild in order to determine if this was related to the alpha 2.30 snafu and/or 2.32/2.33 & 2.34 fixes.

If it returned I could grab logs, if gone it's then something residual.

Is there a way you'd rather proceed?

Cheers.

P.S.  If you don't Regen this orbiter on the Core and you go to KDE Desktop the main menu image (sans flicker - not running) is superimposed over the KDE image.

[rocketlynx]

I also have the same problem.  I've had this recently, I think, since the Alpha-2.3x updates but it could have been a few updates before that.  

It seems that the Core/Hybrid is confused and starts the Orbiter a second time on reboot and DCERouter reloads.  If I knew where the script that loads the Core's OnScreenOrbiter was, I'd look to see if somehow it got a double entry.  

Also, just checked, rebooted MDs and they seem to be OK!

[maverick0815]

I did a clean install after this, and got no messages like that again

[pigdog]

Hi,

I did a re-install and this problem was corrected.

I will rename the title to Resolved.

Cheers.

Hi,

Cheers.

Ok, before I do a re-install, I have a question.  Are you doing a backup and then a restore after the clean re-install?  Also, I've done backus but never had to use them.  What does the backup contain and what does it restore?  Does it restore MDs or, do you restore the backup and then create the MDs?  Or, do you stay away from the restore because it may re-corrupt the new installation.

What's the order?

Thanks,
Charles

[pigdog]

Hi,

The script responsible for generating backups is /usr/pluto/bin/PlutoRestorePoint.sh

It looks like it does this...

-pluto_main database
-asterisk database
-files needed by the web admin
   - floorplans, users, rooms, scenarios
-the pluto.conf config file

If you have media on your LinuxMCE HDD, or mythtv stuff, vdr, etc this stuff would probably be lost.  You may be able to mod the script - I don't know.

I didn't do a backup/restore because I wasn't sure about corruption from original problem, cache-ng, etc., etc.

I'm rebuilding everything.

Hi all,

I've encountered the same issue. But actually for me make a reinstall is really difficult.
I tried this way. If u check the processes via ssh with ps -auxwf u'll finf the pid of OrbiterGL -d NN process that is involved on the UI interface.

If u kill it, the fist pid one that was started restart and u can have again the interface working perfectly.

It could be better to understand why this happened, because until yesterday I never have it .

If someone could give me some support we can try to investigate on it.
I suppose that could be related to a defunct process/script lauched that involved in a second start of the LaunchOrbiter.sh script and the error on the UI interface.

This kill is only good for the current boot, correct?  That is, when you reboot, since it hasn't been fixed, the same problem will return.  I wonder if anyone who understands this strange situation could comment on where the problem is coming from and if there is a way to fix it short of a complete re-install.  Also, since my Core/Hybrid is in a closet and I don't really use it as a Media Director, I'll try to live with it until a fix comes along.

[canukguy1974]

 I have the same problem. Is there away that we can revert the upgrade. I don't see how reinstalling it is away to resolve the issue. We need to find out why the handful of us have this issue and others don't. I deleted all the orbiters from web admin except Orbiter #20 the onscreen and I still get the same thing. When I check processes I notice that LaunchOrbiter.sh is listed like 10 times. I am still new to linuxmce so I am still guessing. I really don't want to re-install the whole system again. I have alot of media on this. When I do a re-install can I save my /home folder so I don't lose all my media and settings?

Hi canukguy1974,

I thought it might be possible to downgrade ...

http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8639.0

... however, since I've rebuilt I've been fine and no re-occurrence

If your media is separate from your HDD that has your OS ie: on a NAS, partition, etc., you media will be fine.

If you have one big HDD with everything - don't do that!

Separated...

the OS may change but the media stays the same.

Queue the music.
