Domoticz hangs after full upgrade
Posted: Monday 29 December 2025 15:51
Hello,
Run into this issue since a week after making a new 64bit raspberry PI OS (debian 13 based/latest), reinstalling domoticz/scripts/plugin (only one, Z4D now using python venv).
My HW is zwave (mostly, still using legacy OZW as I only have legacy hardware there) and zigbee (recent additions after OZW being deprecated, using Z4D python plugin)
This new SD was prepared on a 2nd exact same PI3B, all that could be tested (without both zwave and zigbee adapters plugged, so related support not fully started) looked OK, even after restoring a DB: Domoticz starts, just complain about missing z-stick gen5 and zi-stick, web UI OK.
So this was time to swap SD on the 1st PI to be upgraded: This immediately hanged, no logs as they were in a tmp but moves in /var/log no file after a 2nd hang.
Starting Domoticz from CLI with wiki troubleshooting instructions shows this:
So we have some Z4D errors that looked to be linked with z4d_certified_devices not present, but I follow the Z4D wiki procedure and this indeed looks to hang a bit later, plugin not started so don't think this is the RC for the crash, as last log is about a Lua script started by event system...
As this abrubtly crash the PI with full HW support (half of the times up to need mounting the SD on a Linux PC so fsck can be run on boot partition and ext4 journal being replayed on rootfs, something the boot loader of the PI3 seems unable to do from it's probably minimal ext support), that's not easy to get more clues.
On top of that, with logging now not in files but managed by journald, looks default on raspberry PI OS 13 is to have this non persistent, needing a change in /usr/lib/systemd/journald.conf.d/40-rpi-volatile-storage.conf (=> Storage=persistent).
But on top of this, I now need to learn a bit how to check those journald system logs no more stored as clear text.... I'll let know if I can find something there.
Quite unusual to have some applicative SW abruptly crashing Linux like this. Do someone have seen this or debug tips to propose?
I for now did revert old SD (Debian 11 and Domoticz stable 2025.1 based)...
