Domoticz installation in Linux stuck on 'welcome' dialog

[stig]

I am trying to install Domoticz through SSH (using Putty) and when the installation 'welcome' dialog is shown (see attachment) it seems that it is not possible to press the 'OK' button.

I tried pressing the following input methods:

• Tab: many times, no response
• Enter: after many presses, it results in black lines being added at the bottom
• Mouse: no response

None of the attempts above result in being able to select or press the 'ok' button. Only by pressing Ctrl+C I'm able to exit the dialog.

Since my first suspect was that it might be related to Putty, I tried other methods to connect through SSH (cygwin, and Ubutu WSL); they all show the same behaviour. In addition, I tried it directly on the PC by connecting a keyboard and monitor (instead of using SSH) and it also shows the same behaviour.

• Linux version: Ubuntu-Server 22.04 LTS (Minimal)
  • Distribution: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  • Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-25-generic x86_64
• Domoticz version: 2022.1.14127
• Domoticz installation method: by running 'curl -sSL install.domoticz.com | sudo bash'
• PC: Advantech ARK-3360

Anyone an idea of what this could be? Am I missing packages needed to support a shell GUI? Could it be related to the Ubuntu-Server 22.04 Minimal installation?

Instead of using the pre-compiled version, I build Domoticz from source, now it's working. So, I think there was an error at the background which was not displayed on the terminal.

thx allmost dumping my laptop to the bin.
Hitting all posible buttons but cannot enter OK on 22.04
now try the build my own version

Building from source give me make errors.
So i rebuild my os on 20.04 and now the automatic installer works 2.
is this possible to update the installer?

thx

This might be related to Ubuntu 22.04 coming with OpenSSL3 instead of the older OpenSLL 1.1.

The precompiled versions (till now) might not function with OpenSSL 3 (yet).

See github issue #5233

Same problem here with Armbian 22.08.0 Jimmy (ie Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS) on an Arm 64-bit cpu. Dowloading the script and then executing it is a way around this problem:

Code: Select all

$ curl -L install.domoticz.com > install.sh
$ chmod +x install.sh
$ sudo ./install.sh

However Domoticz will not run because of the missing library.

Code: Select all

$ systemctl status domoticz

Here is a temporary solution until openssl3 makes it to the stable release (reference) if this advice is deemed important

Use a stable release in Production environments (eq the one your wife uses or contains data you want to keep) :

Code: Select all

$ wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_arm64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_arm64.deb

If a 64 bit Intel/AMD OS Linux distribution is used get the library from here
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/m ... _amd64.deb

Got these links to the 64-bit deb packages from https://pkgs.org.

Don't know about 32 bit Arm, maybe http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/m ... _armhf.deb ?
That link was found on https://packages.debian.org/sid/armhf/l ... 1/download

Unfortunately, installing the libssl1.1 library ahead of invoking the Domoticz install script did not solve the problem of the frozen screen.
