Bug - cron openmediavault not working after updates to armbian

Recommended Posts

Some days ago I installed the latest armbian updates to my armbian buster installation / openmediavault 5 on my odroid n2. After the installation of the following updates the cron jobs, which were setup on omv5 gui (not in crontab os) are not working anymore and are not started because of error:

 

Here the update packages:

 

armbian-config 20.08 armbian-firmware 20.08 linux-buster-root-legacy-odroidn2 20.08 linux-dtb-legacy-meson64 20.08 linux-image-legacy-meson64 20.08 linux-u-boot-odroidn2-legacy 20.08

 

Here the error message:

 

/var/lib/openmediavault/cron.d/userdefined-ee6e5e4d-afef-449f-88fb-b6b4d0e4f1a5: 20: /etc/profile.d/armbian-check-first-login.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

 

So there seems to be a syntax problem in the new version of the "armbian-check-first-login.sh" script. I am not sure why it is used on starting the user defined cron jobs from omv5, but for now there are not working anymore.

 

Maybe some one has the same issue?

Try find / -name armbian-check-first-login.sh

sudo cp /etc/profile.d/armbian-check-first-login.sh /etc/profile.d/armbian-check-first-login.sh.bak

sudo rm /etc/profile.d/armbian-check-first-login.sh

reboot

Worked!

 

What are the possible problems or security concerns when the armbian-check-first-login.sh file is deleted?
Many thanks.

I would think it would be safe to delete /etc/profile.d/armbian-check-first-login.sh and that should fix your issue. Line 20 references /usr/bin/psd (provided by the profile-sync-daemon package) that isn't on my systems.

Like the script indicates - its only useful for 1st login, so you can delete it.

 

If you install Armbian and then install OMV you should not have this problem.

 

Condition for running:
https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/bsp/common/etc/profile.d/armbian-check-first-login.sh#L186

... probably 1st run was interrupted. As you can see its safer  / better to remove /root/.not_logged_in_yet

unfortunately that doesn't work for me. maybe I'm doing something wrong?
I restored the armbian-check-first-login.sh, then executed the command rm -f /root/.not_logged_in_yet and restarted the system. cron does NOT work! :(

Strange. OMV changes system dramatically and since I don't exactly know what ... its hard to tell what else to look for. You can also remove this script since its not needed anymore ... but it could show up with some update.

not_logged_in_yet does not occur with omv, at least I never saw it after logging in.


Yeah, but obviously something is messed up. I am trying to understand if this is our problem or OMV. Not sure atm.

Funny I came across a similar error today on a RP64 with a build of Focal desktop 20.08-dev that I compiled a few days ago. I updated via APT this morning.

uname -a
Linux xxxx 5.8.5-rockchip64 #trunk SMP PREEMPT Tue Sep 1 14:46:03 PDT 2020 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

 

Here are my symptoms:

 

$ sudo useradd -m testee
$ sudo passwd testee
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: password updated successfully
$ su - testee
Password:
-sh: 20: /etc/profile.d/armbian-check-first-login.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

My own user account (created when the system first booted and initialized) is fine. It's only on new accounts the issue exists. i am not sure when this issue manifested itself. It was only today that I tried to create a new user.

 

I offer this as some additional data - if it's not relevant to your issue then I apologize :)

I have the same problem and opened the script (/etc/profile.d/armbian-check-first-login.sh)

The function "read_password" at line 20 is the only one that is prefixed with "function", could that be the problem? I guess it is possible that the interpreter changed with an update and doesn't like this keyword?

I saw on github that the problem should be fixed but I didn't see any update in the last 14 days which installed new version of the necessary files. Will there be an update available which fixes this or do I have to manually change files and if yes what files where to change?

I made an update 2 minutes ago, it seems to have been fixed.
with the last update it was fixed!
