How to run vaping without --debug

[jiberan]

Hi,
I'm running vaping on Raspbian. I have managed to run it using
vaping start --home=/home/vaping --debug

How can I run it without --debug?
vaping start --home=/home/vaping
This is not wokring.
Can you help?
Thanks.

Without debug it forks into the background, but still is running. Are you sure it's not working?

[jiberan]

I can see, that right after I run vaping start --home=/home/vaping
vaping.pid file is created. After few seconds, this file is deleted. Also in top I can see that vaping is runing just for a few seconds.

Can confirm that. Only running vaping in debug mode works.

@jiberan @baristan93 What python version are you guys running?

I can see a similar issue running py3.6 - py2.7 works as expected.

[baristan93]

Python 2.7.16

What's your output of running pip freeze ?

[jiberan]

@jiberan @baristan93 Pushed a patch that fixed what i was able to reproduce running python3.6. I have not been able to reproduce the issue on python2.7.15, but since it's a race condition maybe we'll be lucky and it fixes your end as well.

Can you please try the following and let me know if that fixes your issue

pip uninstall vaping -y
pip install https://github.com/20c/vaping/archive/master.zip

If it doesn't fix it, you could also try downgrading your python-daemon install since 2.2.4 no longer officially supports python2.7 (although i did run it with that install and it worked ok for me, so perhaps a long shot)

[baristan93]

Sadly, not working with a patch, I'm going to try with downgrade.
Thanks!

[jiberan]

I can also confirm, that patch is not working for python 2.7.16. I did try to install python3.6, but for now, I don't know how to run in under this version.

[vegu]

Are both of you running on Raspbian?

[baristan93]

yes, buster.

[vegu]

I have a rpi lying around somewhere, will try to reproduce there when i have some time

[jiberan]

yes. I'm running Raspbian.

[vegu]

managed to reproduce on my rpi (running centos) and on a virtualbox running raspbian, not sure on the cause yet or if they are failing because of the same reason, but it's a step towards a fix :)

[vegu]

@jiberan @baristan93 pushed a fix to the daemon_gevent_fixes branch, please see if that fixes your issues as well

to install:

pip uninstall vaping -y
pip install https://github.com/20c/vaping/archive/daemon_gevent_fixes.zip

[jiberan]

I can confirm, that it is working. Thanks!

[vegu]

@jiberan thanks for the confirmation, fix will be rolled into next release (tracked in #73 now)
