installation problems

[lazyha]

Hi all,

I had serious probelms installing the software many times.
After many installations I still can't reach the demo ui.

After the last install there is only one message I'm worried about:
Stopping Z-Way: start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 1708: No such process
done.

And this is in the logfile:
z-way-server: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Raspberry_ip:8083 still not available (i tried other ports (after editing config)) but it doesn't work.

Any clues how to get it working?

Are you using Raspbian distro?

Look at openElec howto, there is a part describing howto install libarchive.

[lazyha]

Yes, running raspbmc
still figuring out to install libarchive



*edit
Got it running

[lazyha]

I thought I had it runnung but I think somryhing is still wrong:

11/4/14 - 21:3Can not load modules.json from modules/AutoOff/module.json: SyntaxError: Unexpected token X

in the end of the log there is a line with Serial port is gone.

Raspmc does not come with GPIO module, you need to install it manually. If you want a media center solution use openElec instead it has GPIO preinstalled.

Are you sure?
This is what I read on the internet:
UPDATE : The latest Raspbian SD card image includes the RPi.GPIO library already

I tried raspbmc a year ago and at that time gpio was not included so I just gave up and switched to openelec instead. I got openelec working and wrote the howto which is pinned in the forum. The howto is pretty straight forward and should still be up to date.

There is probably no difference in performance when it comes to media streaming in raspbmc and openelec. I experienced some lag when operating lights in razberry and streaming video at the same time in both distros, thats why I finally decided to use raspbian.

If you do not need frequent calls to the GPIO pins, you also might consider using Gordon Henderson's wiringPi module. I did use that via system calls as described in my Sunshades example. That page also contains the link to Gordon's Pi module.

With every action I take wich something has got to do with nodes the serial prot is gone..................

"Serial port is gone" is a sign that communication with /dev/ttyAMA0 has been lost (more specifically, read() call has returned 0, which means EOF). This might indicate some hardware or driver problems with your Pi.
