Fix problems installing on Raspberry Pi OS 12 (bookworm) #1408

delan · 2024-01-07T10:38:25Z

This patch addresses the problems in #1407 by changing easyinstall.sh as follows:

add rsyslog to APT_PACKAGES_COMMON
~~add --break-system-packages in cachePipPackages()~~
remove the -h|--help|h|help case in runChoice(), which doesn’t work
add a --help option, explaining that both short and long options need to use =
make --help more discoverable by suggesting it at the top of showMenu()
make it clear in showMenu() that by default, we compile from scratch every time

@delan Thank you for contributing! Sorry that you had to struggle figuring out how to use the various options. The original intention was for the script to be plug’n’play, with the command line parameters treated as hidden debug options.

The fact that this script has become so bloated that it requires a dedicated help function is an issue in itself… but that’s something for another day. I agree that adding a help function now is the right course of action.

Now about this PR: Did you see the failed CI job? I want to resolve that failure before merging. Looking at the standalone logs, something breaks down when building Python dependencies. Maybe --break-system-packages is causing side effects in the GitHub runner environment? Another approach may be required. Would you be able to look into this?

Please note that I changed the base branch to “develop” — this is where are new code goes. The “main” branch gets rebased with develop after a stable release.

After pondering this for a moment, I posit one solution: don’t call cachePipPackages() when installing piscsi (option 1). Then, either keep it as an opt-in feature, or remove it altogether.

It is strictly speaking an optional routine, meant to have a local cache for pip when the Python clients initialize their venv for the first time, which is happening in their respective start.sh scripts. This is in order to work around the absence of a stable network environment, a very common state for a fresh RPi system. But it hasn’t proven to consistently solve the problem.

Unfortunately pip has some kind of bug or limitation that results in a broken venv under these conditions, which it cannot recover from… It’s by far the most commonly user reported incident.

There is actually a pending PR that seeks to replace it with a different solution, but it has been stalling for a long time due to complications with architecture differences for native C glue code for certain Python libraries…

As you can probably tell the Python environment situation is something that has been a very long running problem in this project!

No worries, thanks for the feedback! I’ve removed cachePipPackages from option 1, but CI fails the same way. I tried to repro locally and here’s what I found, does this help?

@delan the critical line is this

error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed: No such file or directory

try adding gcc to the list of packages to install in the Dockerfile and see if that makes a difference

easyinstall.sh

rdmark

Looks good, thanks for contributing!

For the record, the pip caching function is still called from two other routines: stand alone web UI and the hidden option “99” which is used by our pigen script. I think it’s appropriate to keep those intact for now.
