Remot3it_register with Ubuntu_deb

[eric]

Hi!

I'm trying to use remot3it_register from Ansible to bulk register some Ubuntu devices.
I don't think Ansible is the problem here, running the script from command line doesn't work either...

Problem I have right now, is that I'm getting an error when running remot3it_register from command line:

remot3.it connection installer Version: v1.3-07_x86_OEM lib_v1.3-07_x86 
Modified: February 01, 2017 (library) February 01, 2017 
Platform =  i686
eth0: erreur lors de la recherche d'infos sur l'interface: Périphérique non trouvé
Serial = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SERVICEBASENAME = lvl-01

.......You are not currently logged in. 
.You are not currently logged in.

First, I had to change $mac to $HOSTNAME in the script otherwise the $mac is empty on Ubuntu.

The API key is in the file.
I tried:
- passing the login and password from command line: did not work
- writing the login and password in the file: did not work
- used the default password from the file (as suggested here: http://forum.weaved.com/t/important-update-to-installer-for-raspberry-pi-users/1915/7): did not work

AUTHHASH is still empty in the remot3it_register file, but looking at weavedlibrary looks like that's what we want...

What am I doing wrong here?

That's pretty weird. Does the weavedinstaller script work properly?

[eric]

Yes it does work properly.

Here's my test of using the Ubuntu remot3it_register on my test system. Since this device doesn't have an "eth0" device, the SERVICEBASENAME is just blank and there's an error message looking for eth0 as you can see.

The version of the wevedconnectd installer I'm using is: Version: 1.3-07j-x86

However, it did work for me. What's different about what you are doing?

Try editing the /usr/bin/remot3it_register and change this line:
DEBUG="0"

to

DEBUG="1"

and try again. You are apparently not getting a login token, which is pretty strange if the weavedinstaller is able to do so, as they use the exact same library functions for login.

The only thing I can think of, which I encountered myself, is that if your password includes a special character such as $, then it may be necessary to escape it using \ so that it is interpreted literally. However that only applies to putting your credentials directly in the script.

Here is what I get:

I had this in root's crontab:

@reboot /usr/bin/weavedstart.sh

I deleted it, but it still doesn't work...

[Funkanzan]

OK the problem is still apparently inability to log in.

Looking at /usr/bin/weavedlibrary:

####### SignInAPI ###################
signInAPI()
{
# echo $username $password $authhash
if [ "$AUTHHASH" == "REPLACE_AUTHHASH" ]; then
resp=$(curl -s -S -X GET -H "content-type:application/json" -H "apikey:$APIKEY" "$loginURL/$username/$password" 2> $TMP_DIR/.curlerr)
else
resp=$(curl -s -S -X GET -H "content-type:application/json" -H "apikey:$APIKEY" "$loginAuthURL/$username/$authhash" 2> $TMP_DIR/.curlerr)
fi

AUTHHASH should be REPLACE_AUTHHASH (the default - not blank) if you do NOT want to use AUTHHASH.

Give that a try.

[eric]

Still doesn't seem to be working...

I modified weavedlibrary to use the active interface in the getSerialID() function, changed

mac=$(ifconfig eth0 | grep HWaddr | awk '{ print $5 }')

to

interface=$(ip r show|grep " src "|cut -d " " -f 3,12 | cut -d " " -f 1)
mac=$(ifconfig $interface | grep HWaddr | awk '{ print $5 }')

I don't know that is compatible with Rpis

I'm getting a new error:

By this point it seems you have made quite a few modifications to the scripts and so it's really difficult for me to track what's going on. So that we can be on the same page I need to ask you to re install the Debian package because it should work as is. I use it on two systems personally.

[eric]

OK, I'll install it on a new complete new install.

[eric]

It doesn't work either with a fresh install

You are not currently logged in.

[Funkanzan]

It still works for me here so something strange appears to be going on.

Please edit /usr/bin/weavedlibrary and add the two lines as shown:

####### SignInAPI ###################
signInAPI()
{
echo $username $password $authhash
set -x
if [ "$AUTHHASH" == "REPLACE_AUTHHASH" ]; then

See if you can pick out what happens there. As soon as it hits "set -x" a ton of stuff is going to come out so you may have to scroll back to see what it was.

Copy that and send it to support@remot3.it
