simplextech Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Copy / Paste the console output of your install command with all output/information. Hopefully there's some error or message there. Otherwise it's a guessing game.
smarthome_newbie Posted August 3, 2019 Author Posted August 3, 2019 It says "Failed to enable unit: Unit file polyglot-v2.service does not exist" after running this "sudo systemctl enable polyglot-v2.service". Is that what you mean for me to copy paste?
simplextech Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 I wanted to see the full complete output of the install. I want to see everything in your term window including the full install command you enter.

simplextech Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Ok. I'm not sure I can help much without more details and screen output. You will need to use the terminal app from your Mac and ssh to the rpi to be able to copy paste the output. Depending on how you installed the rpi and which distribution (lite/desktop) openssh-server may not be installed or running. Unfortunately it's late for me so I can't continue this tonight. The basis of the problem seems to be an issue with the install. Unless I or anyone else can see the output of the install command there's no way to troubleshoot this.

DennisC Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 It is possible that the current version of Polyglot is not tested on Buster and there is a coflict? Depending on which version of Raspberry Pi you are using, maybe you should install Stretch.
mwester Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 There's been no basic network connectivity testing, actually -- so that'd be where to start. We can see that the Rpi has internet connectivity, and presumably the Mac does as well -- but one needs to check that the Rpi's IP address can be pinged from the Mac. Since I'm not a mac user, I can't help with how to open a terrminal window on that machine to run the "ping" command - but that's the next logical step.

It looks like a windows desktop and I'm not sure where to go to do the install script for polyglot. Please help. I don't have my ISY yet. Supposed to be delivered Monday. Thanks! Get rid of the NOOBS! I had nothing but trouble with many different sources of it.NOOBS was always missing basic install utilities on my three RPis. Find a clean lone Raspian O/S install where most of the packages are not trimmed out for size.

I don't think Buster is an official release yet but it likely just the NOOBs version that is short of utilities. https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/

I guess the webpage is a bit out of date as are we. I would try the Buster image without the NOOBs then. You may need to repartition your microSD card as the RPi installations fragment the SD card. This may not be necessary as the install may straighten it all out and just do it again?

This is so strange. Any other ideas?
simplextech Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Can you ping the pi from your Mac? Open a terminal and run 'ping <ip>' and see if you get a response or if it errors. If that is good then you have network communications. I'm going to download buster and flash to a pi and see if I can replicate the problem.
simplextech Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 I just went through a full clean install and had no problems. Everything installs fine and comes online. Raspbian Buster Lite Image: https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite_latest I used Balena Etcher to flash the SD Card: https://www.balena.io/etcher/ After flashing the image I then "touch" a file aka create a blank/empty file in the boot partition on the SD card. The file name is "ssh" with no extension. This will enable the SSH server on first boot. Not sure on a Mac but after the image is burned you can then remove the sd card and put it back and the Mac should mount the "/boot" partition automatically. Just create a blank file with no extension named "ssh" in the boot directory and then unmount the sd card and put it in your raspberry pi and boot it. I SSH into the raspberry pi at my IP address. Using a Mac Terminal or Putty on windows either way. On Mac you open a terminal and type "ssh pi@<ip_address>" of your pi and then enter the password. Default on raspbian install is "raspberry". If you're using a keyboard and monitor the boot screen will show you the IP address of the rPi if you don't know it or have it reserved in your DHCP server already. Otherwise you can just login at the terminal from the keyboard. I then copy/pasted the install command from the polyglot-v2 install instructions: wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UniversalDevicesInc/polyglot-v2/master/scripts/install.sh | bash -e The install stakes 5+ minutes and when done give it another minute or so for things to start up and load. I use Chrome and FireFox. Not sure how Safari handles the security warning. I get the normal security warning from the self-signed certificate. Click accept or continue anyways and Polyglot is loaded and running. Make sure in your browser you enter "https://" and then the IP Address and Port of your raspberry pi install. Example "https://192.168.1.100:3000"

Any ideas?
simplextech Posted August 3, 2019 Posted August 3, 2019 Did you preface the command with pi@ ssh pi@<ip> on Mac it may be different for the user so try ssh -l pi <ip> otherwise if the username is not the default then I wouldn't know. It will be the same as what you used logging in with a keyboard and monitor attached. The only other possibility is back to SSH not actually running which is why you can't get remote access. Even without the remote access if everything else ran correctly during your install then you shouldn't really need it that much.
