Cannot access gui anymore

Help and Support Help
1

Hi,

for some reason i cannot access GUI anymore. It worked a few days ago, but then it freezed during use. I was tired so i left it for another time and went to sleep.

I can ping or ssh Volumio (eth0 or wireless ip).
I can connect to Volumio via ssh.
I haven’t done any configuration changes for the last few months.
All that was changed was ISP provider, but internal network and routing stayed the same as it was before.

I rebooted numerous times, restarted services switched to wired or wireless only, no luck.
I considered updating volumio but that can only be done via GUI…

The only thing that’s odd is that /static fs is at 100% full. Is that a problem?
mpd.log:
Sep 20 18:53 : zeroconf: No global port, disabling zeroconf
volumio.log is empty.

Please do suggest something. I’m quite desperate.

Regards, Peter

Check that it has not started it’s hotspot, and/or send a log.

HI,

Connected via Cable and fixed IP. No wireless.

Please send logs

or if you can’t

connect via ssh and do

sudo journalctl -f

you should see where it crashes, copy this section and send to us

Attached is journal section that’s constantly repeating. (or should i paste the section in post?)

There is your culprit! There is a syntax error in /data/plugins/music_service/youtube/authToken.json

Yes, i saw that - is there a way i can skip this plugin temporarily without gui access?

/data/plugins/music_service/youtube/authToken.json is an empty file.

8 
nano /data/configuration/plugins.json

and find your plugin and set it’s enabled to false.

There is probably a simple oneliner with jq…

9

you try :

systemctl stop volumio
nano /data/configurations/plugins.json

and set the youtube plugin on false ad stopped

"youtube": { "enabled": { "type": "boolean", "value": false }, "status": { "type": "string", "value": "STOPPED" }
save andrestart volumio

systemctl start volumio

Great! I have GUI access again.
Thank you guys!

So what is the next step.
Should i try to troubleshoot this plugin? Reinstall it? Maybe update this plugin and/or the Volumio system?

11

I recall seeing quite a few people having issues with the plugin, search around! :wink:

12

I will, thanks again!
