Octoprint giving me a blank page in OrangePi Lite

waldo · January 30, 2019, 8:48am

What is the problem?
I downloaded stable release of Octoptint 1.3.10 into OrangePi Lite with Armbian.

Linux orangepilite 4.19.17-sunxi #5.73 SMP Mon Jan 28 21:06:40 CET 2019 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

Installed after lots of trouble the dependencies (some did it manually). I start the server with ./run (just because 'octoprint serve' simply doesn't works at all and locate doesn't shows that file anywhere). And everything seems running perfectly (no errors reported) except that when I point my browser to ip:5000 it just gives me a blank page:

Any ideas on why octoprints comes out so broken?

What did you already try to solve it?

Commented out the check for root in the server python file init.py to be able to launch it as root.
Disabled caching in config.yaml
Disabled api in config.yaml
configured interface in config.yaml
Increased swap file to 512 mb

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, octoprint.log, serial.log or output on terminal tab, ...)

And I also removed protected mode. Nothing. It just says logging in with dummy user.

I start the server with ./run (just because 'octoprint serve' simply doesn't works at all and locate doesn't shows that file anywhere).

Did you install octoprint in a virtualenv or did you "accidentally" install it globally? What were the steps you used to install it?

Commented out the check for root in the server python file init .py to be able to launch it as root.
Disabled caching in config.yaml
Disabled api in config.yaml
configured interface in config.yaml
Increased swap file to 512 mb

Wipe your sd card and start again. If you're going to manually edit files and mess with things, you're going to leave it in an unknown state. There are command line options that let you start it as root (which you shouldn't be doing anyway, there's no need), not sure why you're disabling the api.

Start again from scratch, it sounds like you've tried to install octoprint globally? (since you say you're trying to run it as root?). Set up a normal user, install it under that user, and just run it. I don't know about orangepi's but I've installed it under Armbian on my pcduino3b and yes, some of the dependencies have to be manually installed, but at no time did I ever have to modify any of octoprint's core files to make it work.

Thanks for your reply. I followed this script adapting it to my box and it is working flawlessly now:

github.com

neiltheblue/octopio/blob/02f528b01971da65a387ab7b800b086b91c0b5be/customize-image.sh

#!/bin/bash

# arguments: $RELEASE $LINUXFAMILY $BOARD $BUILD_DESKTOP
#
# This is the image customization script

# NOTE: It is copied to /tmp directory inside the image
# and executed there inside chroot environment
# so don't reference any files that are not already installed

# NOTE: If you want to transfer files between chroot and host
# userpatches/overlay directory on host is bind-mounted to /tmp/overlay in chroot

echo "### Starting octopio ###"

RELEASE=$1
LINUXFAMILY=$2
BOARD=$3
BUILD_DESKTOP=$4

This file has been truncated. show original

By what I understand need to launch it from virtual environment. And add the start scripts to the system that seems come with octopi. No need to wipe the SD Fortunately since is a load of work.
