Dashboards widgets missing since emonpi update

Emoncms

No it is not an apt package.

You are in the /var/www/emoncms/Modules/dashboard folder? To check you can used to command pwd

22

Sorry, there must be no difference which makes the earlier message odd.

So,

rpi-rw
cd /var/www/emoncms/Modules/dashboard
sudo git reset --hard

then

sudo git pull
23

I am making progress, but really slow:
I followed the instructions and was asked by RPi to git config my email address and name which I did.

So output from

sudo git pull

pi@emonpi(rw):dashboard$ sudo git pull

Thanks for helping me, I do appreciate it

It seems to me the repository is really out of sorts.

Try this to get things back to where they should be.

git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/stable
git clean -f -d
git status
25

From within this directory?

/var/www/emoncms/Modules/dashboard
26

pi@emonpi(ro):dashboard$ pwd
/var/www/emoncms/Modules/dashboard
pi@emonpi(ro):dashboard$ rpi-rw
Filesystem is unlocked - Write access
type ā€™ rpi-ro ā€™ to lock
pi@emonpi(rw):dashboard$ git fetch origin
pi@emonpi(rw):dashboard$ git reset --hard origin/stable
HEAD is now at 9b03e57 Merge pull request #173 from emoncms/master
pi@emonpi(rw):dashboard$ git clean -f -d
pi@emonpi(rw):dashboard$ git status
On branch stable
Your branch is up-to-date with ā€˜origin/stableā€™.

Something is still wrong:

I was able to add two dials and saved but only one dial shows.
Also look at the Toolbox icons.

I rebooted the emonPI via Admin page, and this is a screenshot after the reboot.

After I created a few dials with headers.

Save: appears to work.

BUT when I click on the eye icon to exit edit:

And when I then click anywhere else:

I also get this error: Perhaps it is a clue-

Have you cleared the browser cache since fixing the git repo?

Are you now trying to create a new dash or trying to regain access to a dashboard that ceased to render as described in your first posts?

31

Paul:

A error message flashed and I could not copy it; saying I should; Update the emonDatabase

So I did a ā€œemonBase Updateā€ and it seems everything is now working correct.

BTW: I was creating a new dashboard and have not cleared the cache.
Just to be safe I will do it now and then create a few new dashboards and give feedback

Thanks for your patience and help!!!

32

Thatā€™s good!

For future reference. The message to update the database just means to do a ā€œcheck and updateā€ via the button on the admin page.

By doing a full emonpi update the database check and update is done as part of that at the tail end, thatā€™s why doing a full update worked.

33

Problem solved.

thank you very much Paul for all your help.
I really appreciate it very much.

Thanks Brian also for your help. Much appreciated.

Should I now submit a ā€œrpi-roā€ command to wrap everything up?

Yes that is best.

35

If I remember correctly, thereā€™s a ā€œtime-outā€ associated with the rpi-rw command.
i.e. if nothing is done, after a few miutes (Iā€™m not sure of the exact number) the filesystem
goes back to ro mode.

36

Yes, once every hour the OS is returned to RO, so it could be anywhere between 0 and 60mins.
(the latest image isnā€™t read-only though so this does only applies to earlier images).

37

Tnx PB.

I couldnā€™t remember the number.

Itā€™s been almost 3 years since Iā€™ve run emonCMS. Iā€™m surprised I remembered it at all. :grin:

Thanks for your help!!

Just as a tidy up - what appeared to work as the repository was out of sync as reported by git status

cd /var/www/emoncms/Modules/dashboard
rpi-rw
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/stable
git clean -f -d
git status
rpi-ro

Then do a database update from the admin screen.

Thanks Brian:
