Well, that may be true for you, but as we've seen with the Cyberpunk 2077 launch, different systems seem to yield different results.

I had no idea you had put so much effort into this. I'll give it one last try.
You didn't take my time -- I took my own. We were trying something unconventional and I knew that even before attempting this, so don't worry about it. Sorry if I was snarky but it seems like everything I've been trying relating to HA in the last year or so has gone dreadfully wrong.
I'll try it out when I feel up to it and let you know how things go.
Thanks

I'm not an idiot, and I've installed and worked on several complicated systems, both hard and software related, but it seems that I have some sort of technological curse. I'm not even kidding -- I can follow directions to the tee without a single deviation, it will fuck up. Ok, so I misspelled "openLuup" once, but I assure you, I've been super attentive to every instruction and somehow things just aren't gelling. I understand case-sensitive commands, etc.
I wish I were a Linux nerd. Too bad gaming pulled me into Micro$oft Winblows as a kid. It is what it is.
So, I've literally followed "the idiot proof" instructions, changed my Linux distribution according to instruction, reinstalled multiple times, ... I guess that's it then?
I'm sorry for taking up so much of you guys' time.

ah shit. I see it now.
Think I'm just worn down at this point. That''s embarrassing.

@akbooer Sorry... I'm just kind of at the end of my rope here, other stuff included. My apologies.
So please explain to me how I misspelled openLuup when I've been meticulously spelling it over and over like literally hundreds of times in the last week or two. I must be losing it. Perhaps a sign for me to take up another hobby?

@akbooer
Can't even get a f*****g image to display here. I think I'm about done here.

Yes, multiple times. Like, multi multi times.

Welp, I'm not getting anywhere with this. I tried installing over my previous install once again and then navigating to the address provided (http://172.31.206.111:3480/data_request?id=altui ). If anything, things are getting worse. The openLuup page is no longer formatted properly and lacks the graphic element that was there the first time around.
Here's my latest log:

@therealdb What is the difference between Windows Terminal and PowerShell? Are you suggesting that I type my commands into Terminal instead of Ubuntu Bash?

Thanks

@therealdb but that's literally what I just did. What would be the changing factor?

Ok, this is getting ridiculous.
I uninstalled Kali as a Windows app, installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS instead, reinstalled Lua 5.1 and all dependencies, reinstalled openLuup.
After all that, I try to open http://172.22.154.28:3480 as prompted and get nothing but "No handler for data_request?id=lr_ALTUI_Handler" at the top of the page.
aaaarrrrgh!!! No idea what I could be doing wrong here.

@akbooer Thanks!
I imagine that will be quite easy from my past experience (with Lua for Windows, I mean). My worry is only that running plugins, etc. may not translate well when ported from a Linux/Unix environment. Guess there's only one way to find out!

@therealdb Hi, sorry, could you spell it out for me so that there's no way I'll mess it up? I'd like to delete the files I've installed and wipe the Kali installation before I give this one last go with Ubuntu. I only initially installed Kali because I thought it could come in handy were I to install Wireshark, etc.
Thanks for your assistance

Yes, this setup is showing itself to be quite problematic. I'll try for a while longer before giving up. That would be really disappointing. I was getting really hyped to get back into automating things around here, and Alexa routines just don't cut it.

@therealdb thank you, I'll try that.
@akbooer The download fails every time. It'll hit 3%, maybe 12% once, then fail.
Sorry, but WSL is my only option at present. I did have the VeraBridge functioning (at least in part) because I could see devices from the Vera in openLuup. Don't ask me what the heck happened overnight the other night, though! I swear, I have some sort of technology curse!!
How about using the github repository with the icon? Is that possible and how?
Thanks

@akbooer I have no idea about configuring WSL in Windows. All I did was install it along with Kali Linux, and then Lua 5.1 and the other dependencies from the Bash prompt. I'm guessing that therealdb would probably have mentioned any setup procedures specific to this particular arrangement that I may have missed, but it seemed fairly straightforward. Here are the logs:

I'm assuming that logs .1 to .5 are just previous sessions being pushed through the line?

I hope this will help!

I see nothing running on that port. Also, it still doesn't work even after using "http://172.25.26.14:3480/data_request?id=exit" and attempting to initialize the program again afterwards.
I'm starting to think this may be firewall related, though I'm unsure as to how that would just manifest itself out of nowhere when I had it running fine last week.

Update 1: After rebooting, it just gives me this message:
rm: cannot remove '/www/altui/altui*': No such file or directory
and then hangs.

Update 2: Ok, so I tried running the install again and it seemed to work, but opening the IP address did not. I went and browsed the web for a good hour and then tried again for the hell of it and, lo and behold -- it worked. It no longer has VeraBridge installed or any devices that I had imported last week. AltUI still refuses to load.
Interesting.

Thanks for bearing with me here.

@akbooer said in New to the forum:

Sorry to sound daft, but I have absolutely no idea where you got that file from. What does it contain?

The file "run_openLuup.sh" was the only file I saw with the extension ".sh" in the directory /etc/cmh-ludl. I found the correct file you mentioned, and tried:
sudo ./openLuup_reload
and I get this:

lua5.1: openLuup/init.lua:291: openLuup - is another copy already running? Unable to start HTTP server on port 3480
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'error'
openLuup/init.lua:291: in main chunk
[C]: ?

@therealdb Thanks. I'll revisit that once I can get things going again.

Thank you so much for your assistance. I'm sure it can be an eye-rolling experience to help out newbies like me.
You are accurate that loading at boot is not a priority since I often run this machine for weeks art a time before rebooting. I was just trying to start from zero while considering certain factors such as security since I used to rely on my system to text me on my phone (using an email plugin) if something needed my attention.
Definitely not a top priority, so thanks for snapping me back to reality. lol I tend to get side-tracked.
So I tried:
sudo ./run_openLuup.sh
and a get:

Starting openLuup server
To see tail of logfile: tail -f ./out.log

Navigating to any variation of http://172.25.26.14:3480 fails.
http://172.25.26.14:3480/data_request?id=exit does nothing, either.
