Error while upgrading ; metronome wrongly configured

My YunoHost server

Hardware: VPS bought online & Intel NUC
YunoHost version: 11.2.3
I have access to my server : Through SSH & through the webadmin |
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : no

Description of my issue

Trying to get the update on my two yunohost instance (1 on a VPS, one on a comuter at home) result in error :

image
image777×460 34 KB

getting on SSH and tryed sudo apt install --fix-broken, sudo dpkg --configure -a but metronome is failing to start in the two cases.
I don’t use XMPP at all on those instance and I don’t have change configuration files.

As I do have the error in two separated instance, I think that this does not come from my configuration. (I tend to minimize any modification of conf file to be foward compatible)

Any ideas or similar issues ?

Please share the full log, we can’t debug without the exact error message + context

Yes sure, my bad.

I got exaclty the same on the second server

Hmmmokay unfortunately we’ll have to dig deeper because this doesnt contain any actual error … Let’s try journalctl -u metronome -n 20 --no-pager --no-hostname

And maybe we can also try to run metronome directly (or is it metronomectl ?)

admin@mydomain:~$ journalctl -u metronome -n 20 --no-pager --no-hostname

And after that same result as above when trying dpkg --configure metronome

I do remember that i deactivated XMPP in the domain part of the webadmin (so that there is probably no DNS and no letencrypt associated to it

Hmokay so let’s try metronomectl start --debug

7

And also : tail /var/log/metronome/metronome.err

8

admin@mydomain:~$ sudo metronomectl start --debug
Still waiting…
Metronome is still not running. Please give it some time or check your log files for errors.
admin@mydomain:~$ sudo journalctl -u metronome -n 20 --no-pager --no-hostname

I’ve tryied reactivating the XMPP in domain, regenerating the letencrypt certificate, restarting the server, but same effect. :frowning:

Sorry, i have the same mistake on my yunohost system. During upgrading the system i got the same error message in english: Then i did the sudo apt install etc. and teh errors come from the metronome! Today i do not get into my nextcloud via firefox, google, etc because there is now an security problem :Websites bestätigen ihre Identität mittels Zertifikaten, welche für einen bestimmten Zeitraum gültig sind. Das Zertifikat für learn4joy.de ist am 22.8.2023 abgelaufen.

Fehlercode: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE
so i cant use yunohost with nextcloud anymore. sorry.

11

For comparizon with my case, did you deactivated the XMPP in the domain part of yunhost reference ?

12

Guten Abend
Ich habe genau das selbe Problem
gibt es einen Lösungs Ansatz?

Ich habe es versucht mit einem Backup zu umgehen, aber nach einen Update ist das selbe broblem wieder da.

13

For the moment to solve the issue i did uninstall metronome all the way.

14

Welcher Weg ist zur Deinstallation der sicherste Weg?
Ich hatte schon einmal ein ähnliches Problem, und nach der Deinstallation war das System beschädigt.

Vielen Dank für deine / Eure Hilfe

15

mein Deutsch ist schwach

Well, I did something like:
sudo apt-get unistall metronome && sudo apt-get autoremove
then :

sudo yunohost tools update
sudo yunohost tools upgrade system
sudo yunohost tools upgrade apps

is it the safest way, I don’t know, but it did work for me

16

Oh ich denke dein Deutsch ist besser als meines

Vielen Dank, mehr habe ich nicht benötigt🤗
