Orbiter won't start after configuration changes.

[archived]

After installing the core the orbiter would start in ratpoison when the machine was booted.  I logged into the web based configuration and tried to set up my CM11A and a lighting scenario.  On the next reboot the orbiter failed to start.  Not knowing the system I am at a loss when troubleshooting.  I've included the output from two relevant files below.  Does this indicate the problem is with the orbiter or the dce Router?  Is there any simple way to clear all of the configuration for a device?

Thanks in advance.

The problem is that it's not able to connect to the DCERouter, which listens on port 3450.  The Orbiter will attempt to connect to the Router on port 3450.  So the problem is actually with the router--not the Orbiter.  Is your Router running on the same computer as the Orbiter (ie a hybrid), or is it running on another computer across the network?  On whatever computer the Router is running, you can type "screen -ls" to see a list of the active screen sessions.  You should see one called DCERouter, if the router is running.  You can also type "screen -r ID" where ID is the screen session's ID returned from screen -ls.  That will attach to the DCERouter that is running so you can see what it's doing.  You can also tail the DCERouter.newlog in /var/log/pluto to see what it's doing (you'll see the same thing as if you attach to the screen session).  If you have time when you get this, please click on 'live help' so we can have an instant chat and narrow it down.  I'll then post the results back in this forum.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi aaron,

I have the same problem. I've just made a new installation of Plutohome (I've installed Core/Hybrid). Now I can access to the Pluto admin site and login to the dcerouter via ssh but the Orbiter shows nothing. It displays just initial gray screen. I've run screen -ls and then screen -r <pid which belongs to OnScreen Orbiter>. The output is there:

You can see there a message "Segmentation fault" when the script Spawn_Device.sh is running. Any idea why the Orbiter is not working and how to fix it?
Thank in advanced.
