Razberry installation destroy Jessie

[Ricard1]

Hi,

I have tried several times last days to install latest Raz package to support the Razberry board, my fresh installed latest Jessie works fine with other installs like xrdp (to remote desktop access the Pi), however as soon I installs Razberry package the Pi is f***** up. I.e. I cant access it by remote desktop anymore... And if I try to install something else with console/putty I gets error code that no room left for installation even if it's a 16GB SDcard. I cant blame anyone for my issues because I am not very used to Linux, but by now I cant see any other reason except it must be some serious wrong with the razberry installation package.

I also get "Error handling data from server" in z-wave Expert this should be related to Jessie but in the forum it is stated "Jessie" problem should have been solved in latest install package. Is it really??

Sorry but I am really tired on reinstalling Raspberry over and over and not making any progress. Not even with your own provided Rasberry fresh install image with Razberry support it works, still gets "Error handling data from server"

Any Idea someone?

I thought this was fixed. Which rasbian jessie release(date) do you have. The latest I am aware of is november 2015. I think their fix predates that version. Otherwise I have no clue of what might be the problem.

Hi pz1,

Thank you, I have tried to inslall; Full/offline Jessie for Noobs, as well Online network install, and Raspbian Jessie full .img Release date: 2015-11-21, Kernel version: 4.1, all downloads made from Raspberry.org.

But as mentioned also tested the complete SDcard install package from Razberry http://razberry.z-wave.me/z-way-server/razberry.img.zip.

Giving up, trough it out the window (open first) !?

Don't open the window smash it
More seriously. I do sympatise with you. I recognise the frustration.

Did you extend the diskspace to the full 16GB on your installation? That is always do using command
sudo raspi-config

[Ricard1]

I did run a similar command, sudo rpi-update (recommended at installation of Domoticz), but it was at the moment after installing XRDP and Razberry package. Maybe it was to late, diskspace already was full making previos installation corrupt? By the way, strange that Linux at installation don't reserve more disk space than it does or ask amount of partition you want in the offline installation alternative at least.

However I will enter your recommended command first thing after a fresh installation, sounds that's the trick to solve it all. Otherwise I will most likely leave Linux and go back to the safe and stable Windows world

Cheers!

I did a quick install of the default Zway install on a new Raspi 2 testrig with the November 2015 Rasbian Jessie. No problems with that. I have no Zwave devices installed except for a new UZB1 stick. I can see the stick and its characteristics.

[Ricard1]

So, there is probably some kind of issue with Razberry board, or most likely I hit partition size limit as I installed XRDP without expanding disk first. I'll lwt you know.

Many thanks for your help pz1

Is there something we need to fix? What is the problem with destroying Jessie?

[Ricard1]

Hi PoltoS
As written in the last posts it seems I had mainly an issues with disk space limitation, because of new installed SD card image. I got help by pz1 with the correct command to expand usable disk space. So, my assigned Subject is not so correct, at least not anymore.

However my second problem and still unsolved, is that I have wrong bootloader on my Razberry. I am asked to upgrade it in the expert uzb menu but clicking "upgrade" results in message "Error handling data". After that action I have to cut power off/on to get the Razberry controler back to life... So how to fix the Bootloader upgrade?

We need to start a new thread with correct logs and so on
