Using new KIAUH, fresh armbian system, fluidd-config install fails

[GoldenGreek]

Linux Distribution

armbian-mkspi debian bullseye (6.6.17-current-rockchip64) running on mks-skipr-mini board. Repo is here

What happened

1. Fresh base-image from the repo above with device-tree tweaked for the mini version of the board.
2. Installed kiauh.sh and ran the beta/python version.
3. Installed klipper & moonraker without issue
4. While installing fluidd and the default fluidd config, i receive the following error:

Other info: /tmp is mounted as tmpfs

What did you expect to happen

I expected the fluidd config to install properly.

How to reproduce

Fresh install of armbian-mkspi and all components. I suspect this is an issue with /tmp being a tmpfs on this platform.

Additional information

No response

[GoldenGreek]

FYI, works fine with the current release (non-beta) version.

I suspect this is an issue with /tmp being a tmpfs on this platform.

I suspect the same, but not sure how to actually tackle this issue right now.
Can you try disabling tmpfs for testing purposes and try reproduce the issue? If the issue then does not occur, we can say for sure it is caused by tmpfs.

[GoldenGreek]

Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I'm very busy at the moment and will attempt this tomorrow after work, and will let you know the results.

[GoldenGreek]

My first attempt failed, and when I checked /tmp was no longer mounted as tmpfs, but as zram2, so I had to disable that as well. For thoroughness here are the steps I did to test this per @dw-0's request:

1. Removed /tmp as tmpfs from fstab.
2. Ran sudo systemctl mask tmp.mount to ensure that /tmp doesn't mount as tmpfs.
3. Edited /etc/default/armbian-zram-config and set ENABLED=false
4. Rebooted and verified /tmp is not tmpfs
5. Cleanly uninstalled all items that were installed using KIUAH
6. Using KIAUH v6, reinstalled all items, including fluidd/fluidd config without issue.

Our suspicions have been confirmed.

Thanks!

@dw-0 Do you need any more from me on this report?

@dw-0 Do you need any more from me on this report?

Hi thanks for providing some more information. I hope this will help. I have to somehow try and reproduce, then fix the issue.

[dw-0]

Hi, i just released KIAUH v6.0.0-alpha.4.
For that release i reworked the config handling. Config files are now opened, read and written a bit different. Maybe this works with tmpfs filesystems now. Can you please try again and see if it works now?

[loonatec]

I just tried to install Fluidd on a fresh Armbian install using KIAUH v6.0.0-alpha.4 and it still encounters the same issue.
This is a Fly Gemini v3 board running the Armbian stable image from reemo3dp, following the instructions from DerFuchs.

The first time through I get the same error:
[Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link: '/tmp/tmp7co34fzc' -> '/home/mks/printer_data/config/printer.cfg'

I tried disabling tmpfs but probably misunderstood the fix as it put the system into a read-only state.

After starting over and trying the KIAUH v6.0.0-alpha.4 version and encountering the same issue I then tried uninstalling Fluidd and reinstalling both Fluidd and Mainsail but encounter the following error (same for both):

[dw-0]

The 'str' object has no attribute 'keys' issue should be fixed now with the new alpha 5 release.
I still was not able to setup a tmpfs filesystem myself and further investigate the original issue.

Good evening. Trying to install klipper via kiauh v6.0.0.0-alpha.7, but encountered the same problem when installing fluidd

[OK] OK!

I was able to reproduce the issue and found a solution. It will be released with alpha.9
