EIB/KNX configuration

[girlaldo]

Hi all,
I have got IPS/S2.1 IP Interface,MDRC from ABB.
and Linuxmce 14.04 running on a vbox vm
I read this wiki page
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/EIB/KNX_with_eibd
that states
installing eibd, only if LinuxMCE < 10.04
farther more on http://www.auto.tuwien.ac.at/~mkoegler/index.php/eibdeb
I have found this statement
Note, that they can be older than the released sources.
...
To install all packages, use the command
apt-get install bcusdk

My question is:
is there anybody that did manage to have EIB/IP interface working?
Please tell me what to do!
Thank you so much

[Marie.O]

I am running KNX in my home, with a KNX/IP interface between the LinuxMCE and the KNX world.

Install lmce-eib-eibd, which should install the required dependencies.

I have the following code in /etc/rc.local on my core:

Code Select Expand


/sbin/route add 224.0.23.12 dev eth0
/usr/bin/eibd --no-tunnel-client-queuing -D -T -R -S -i -u --eibaddr=0.0.1 --daemon=/var/log/eibd.log ipt:192.168.80.201


Not sure if the route is needed (eth0 is my outside interface). I can't remember what it was for.

See if the above helps.

[girlaldo]

Thank you posde,
I'm glade you have knx so may be i'll disturb you again.
I'll try next days to put up the interface following your instructions and when finished I buy you a coffee.
bye

[Marie.O]

Merry Christmas, good luck, and thanks for the coffee

[girlaldo]

May be my /etc/apt/sources.list is not ready for the eibd package?

apt-get remove --purge whatever *eib* package you might have installed, and redo the install of lmce-eib-eibd

[girlaldo]

Everything seems to be removed right?

what is wrong with it?

[Marie.O]

Hmm...

Please run dpkg -l | grep eib and paste it here.

[girlaldo]

Here is the paste after last installation:

aldo@dcerouter:~$ dpkg -l | grep eib
ii  libeibclient0                               0.0.5-1~lmce0~trusty1                                            i386         eibd client library

and nothing to paste after
sudo apt-get remove --purge libeibclient0
and
sudo apt-get autoremove

aldo@dcerouter:~$ dpkg -l | grep eib
aldo@dcerouter:~$

and since installation says

The system user `eib' already exists. Exiting.
eibd: unrecognized service

I also did

aldo@dcerouter:~$ sudo userdel eib
aldo@dcerouter:~$

and I made a new installation but still get:

Adding system user `eib' (UID 128) ...
Adding new user `eib' (UID 128) with group `nogroup' ...

I thank you posde and I really appreciate very much your help

[Marie.O]

The problem is that the bcusdk eib client and server package doesn't seem to get installed.

[girlaldo]

I tried two installations: the one I am working on that was done on a vbox vm kubuntu 14.04 installed by the network process and another that I made as a vbox vm starting from scratch by LMCE-1404-20161119175532-i386.iso.
Both of them didn't have eibd pakages.
The network one didn't even had in the sources.list this record

http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/ trusty/unstable i386 Packages

By the way I managed, thanks to your help, in both cases to get this situation:

aldo@dcerouter:~$ sudo dpkg -l | grep eib
ii  eibd-client-sources                         0.0.5-1~lmce0~trusty1                                            all          Sources of the eibd client programs

but installing lmce-eib-eibd
I always get the same error:

Setting up lmce-eib-eibd (2.0.0.47.15121131752) ...
Warning: The home dir /var/run/eib you specified already exists.

Could you show me your
etc/init/eibd.conf
if it exist. Do you think that I could try to edit it myself?
many thanks

PS I explained you my installation story because if I understand you can signal the situation to whom that prepare the iso files.
Do you?

[Marie.O]

I am not using the eibd service as a service, but starting it "manually" from rc.local as outlined in a post earlier.

Check /var/lib/dpkg/info/lmce-eib-eibd.postinst and put a

|| :

pipe pipe colon, behind the the eibd start / restart lines. That way, it will get installed. And the eibd startup line that I quoted earlier to rc.local, restart your system, and see what happens.

And yes, phenigma and I are currently taking care of the builds, I started it at one point, l3mce continued it, phenigma works on it, and everybody hopes things work out

[girlaldo]

If I remove lmce-eib-eibd even the postinst disappear
so I made the install without a previous remove with the postinst as follow

# start eibd daemon if not running, else restart
if pidof eibd > /dev/null; then
        service eibd restart ||:
else
        service eibd start ||:
fi

aldo@dcerouter:~$ sudo apt-get install lmce-eib-eibd                 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
lmce-eib-eibd is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

after rebooting with rc.local as you wrote I checked

aldo@dcerouter:~$ ps -aux | grep eib
aldo      3221  0.0  0.0   4696  2028 pts/24   S+   13:01   0:00 grep --color=auto eib

then I gave the command as below and I got the the segmentation fault

aldo@dcerouter:~$ /usr/bin/eibd --no-tunnel-client-queuing -D -T -R -S -i -u --eibaddr=1.1.225 --daemon=/var/log/eibd.log ipt:192.168.80.137

thank you for your patientness

[Marie.O]
