Hi,

many thanks for your report. As workaround you could try to create the file and reboot your system afterwards.

touch /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-ramlog

Hi,

many thanks for your report. As workaround you could try to create the file and reboot your system afterwards.

touch /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-ramlog

I can confirm that the workaround seems to be functioning, thanks. The file /boot/dietpi/dietpi-banner also seems to be missing however this does not seemingly impair the installation.

Joulinar · 2020-05-07T07:30:26Z

well it's more /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-banner missing. Usually it should be gone if you login as user root.

I am logged on as user root and the message still remains (even after reboot). As previously stated it does not impair functionality I just wanted you to know in case something needs to be done about it.

Joulinar · 2020-05-07T08:03:45Z

can you open dietpi-banner to have it running once. Usually it should create the file

Vec7or · 2020-05-07T08:39:37Z

Like this?

root@DietPi:~# dietpi-banner
-bash: /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-banner: No such file or directory
root@DietPi:~#

Joulinar · 2020-05-07T09:11:15Z

uhh looks like it's missing completely. Can you have a look to

ls -la /boot/dietpi/func/

Vec7or · 2020-05-07T09:46:27Z

As the error states the file is indeed not present:

Joulinar · 2020-05-07T10:02:19Z

ok you are missing quite some files. Seems something did goes wrong during update. I would recommend to clone the directory again

Vec7or · 2020-05-07T10:59:23Z

Well this is a clean installation so i can't really do something about it or can I? Or do I have to build the image myself?

Joulinar · 2020-05-07T11:07:01Z

What I meant was, that something during the update to DietPi v6.29.2 did not succeeded correctly as you are missing some data. So there are basically 2 ways. First one would be to clone the entire directory /boot/dietpi/func/ from git to get the missing files or to start with a new fresh install (just in case you don't have installed to much atm)

Vec7or · 2020-05-07T11:26:23Z

Okay thank you for the clarification. I have cloned the folder, since a fresh installation would not work due to the image update process being broken when using v6.14 image (this was a fresh install from today).

With the cloned folder there are no more errors. Looks good to me as a workaround.

Joulinar · 2020-05-07T11:36:20Z

Ok would it be possible to post your solution, how you cloned the directory. It might help others if they will hit similar

Vec7or · 2020-05-07T11:57:09Z

I did this (be aware i have not extensively tested if everything works but as far as I have tested it does):

apt install git
git clone https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi.git Dietpi
rm -r /boot/dietpi/func/*
cp -r Dietpi/dietpi/func/* /boot/dietpi/func/
rm -r Dietpi
apt purge git
init 6

Vec7or · 2020-05-07T12:55:14Z

Just installed a new image. As soon as the /boot/dietpi/func/dietpi-ramlog: No such file or directory error occurs do the following:

Open the command line
Do the steps mentioned in dietpi-ramlog: No such file or directory #3509 (comment)
restart.

After restarting the installation works as expected.

Joulinar · 2020-05-07T13:01:09Z

Thx for sharing the workaround.

Regarding the initial issue, I guess @MichaIng would need to have a look.

MichaIng · 2020-05-07T20:30:20Z

@Vec7or @Joulinar
Many thanks for report and workaround.

Very strange, especially since the update does not remove files from /boot/dietpi but only copies the ones from /DietPi/dietpi to /boot/dietpi. So even if this copy process would fail, the files would still be present. Even more, since the update is internally restarted, files are re-downloaded to /boot/dietpi actively. So this must have been failed at two stages... I'll run a test boot to see if I can replicate within VM. Own RPi device/server is started tomorrow, the ISP technician took 10 days longer to finally tomorrow enable our broad band internet....

Joulinar · 2020-05-07T20:37:54Z

@MichaIng
that happen if you move from a big city to a small country side 😆

btw have seen similar on our forum https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=7607 as well as on the duplicate GitHub post #3513

All seems to run Strech

MichaIng · 2020-05-08T19:10:35Z

Analysing the case on fresh NanoPi NEO (Stretch) image within systemd-nspawn container:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4.1K May  8 20:39 run_ntpd

Indeed those scripts are missing.
Those match the ones that were present in /DietPi/dietpi/ in the past instead of /DietPi/dietpi/func/, but e.g. dietpi-obtain_hw_model, which was always in func/, is also missing.
Checking scripts and other places show that the following code was definitely run: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/blob/master/dietpi/patch_file#L73-L94
cp -Rf /DietPi/* /boot/ should have copied all code, that was installed before... did it fail (no error message) or an async issue or were scripts removed afterwards somehow? And why is this issue present on some Stretch SBCs only?

I'll create a debug branch to pause the update at certain stages and have a subshell for investigation...

Joulinar · 2020-05-08T19:26:53Z

I see I need to get more and different SBC to be able test more in detail

MichaIng · 2020-05-08T19:37:55Z

@Joulinar
Yes same for me. It's just out of scope for me currently to get an SBC battery, I have simply no space here to place them ready like a testing farm 🤔. Will change hopefully until next year, and Fourdee (Dan/Founder) already offered to send over his spare SBCs (he had ALL that DietPi officially supported).

However back to topic, found the bug, a faulty patch from v6.16 to v6.17: 323454c
