Cloud9 IDE Update (c9-core-installer_3.1.3543)

Hey Everyone,

I just pushed out a new Cloud9 IDE update. This fixes one of the
long-standing problems between github.com/c9/core and our version..

"hints" & "autocomplete" things now show up as you start typing stuff..

do i know why it now works, not really... i had tweaked the build
setup, and while testing I just noticed hints are working..

Regards,

Robert:
Presently Cloud 9 runs as root. Would it be possible for it to run as debian instead? That would mean the examples would have to run with sudo.

Seems like this would be much more secure.

With yesterday's build It's actually really really easy:

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#

User=debian

cat /lib/systemd/system/cloud9.service
[Unit]
Description=Cloud9 IDE
ConditionPathExists=|/var/lib/cloud9

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/opt/cloud9/build/standalonebuild
EnvironmentFile=/etc/default/cloud9
ExecStart=/usr/bin/nodejs server.js --packed -w /var/lib/cloud9
SyslogIdentifier=cloud9ide
User=debian

Still a few issues:

(i'm going to create "cloud9" group and tie /var/lib/cloud9/ and
debian to that group..

and all the examples are broken: (aka |> Run button)

https://i.imgur.com/rNt0TPR.png

So other then all bonescript examples broken, it works. :wink:

@Drew, in the python adafruit library you have a gpio/etc debian
permission script, wonder if we should enable that by default, then
the bonescript examples would work as debian user.

(i'm going to create "cloud9" group and tie /var/lib/cloud9/ and
debian to that group..

Okay, the permissions are now taken care of:

and all the examples are broken: (aka |> Run button)

https://i.imgur.com/rNt0TPR.png

So other then all bonescript examples broken, it works. :wink:

@Drew, in the python adafruit library you have a gpio/etc debian
permission script, wonder if we should enable that by default, then
the bonescript examples would work as debian user.

Here's the udev rules:

Regards,

Robert:
Wow, that was quick. So then Cloud 9 runs a debian now and the udev script sets all the gpio /sys/ files to be owned by debian.

So do I need to grab next week’s build to test it?

–Mark

Robert:
  Wow, that was quick. So then Cloud 9 runs a debian now and the udev
script sets all the gpio /sys/ files to be owned by debian.

No, it's still root by default.. It's a one line change to get Cloud9
running as debian user via the service file (with a reboot). and i
think that udev rule should make it work without being root. We just
need someone to test it. :wink:

So do I need to grab next week's build to test it?

I just fired up a build, while you could tweak last Sunday's image,
you'd have to manually add the new cloud9ide group and run apt
update/apt upgrade.. or just wait for a test build in about an hour.
:wink:

Regards,

I’ll wait for the new image. It hasn’t popped up yet.

–Mark

yeah, ran into a small problem of install order:

https://github.com/rcn-ee/repos/commit/2b52ed42fa6a33c2e25e42fe68dce582113ced4b

It's almost done. :wink:

Hey Everyone,

I just pushed out a new Cloud9 IDE update. This fixes one of the
long-standing problems between github.com/c9/core and our version..

"hints" & "autocomplete" things now show up as you start typing stuff..

do i know why it now works, not really... i had tweaked the build
setup, and while testing I just noticed hints are working..

Can a student run all the demos in the Cookbook? How do we make that an every 6 weeks task for students? :wink:

Okay give this a shot:

https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2017-04-13/stretch-iot/

add 'User=debian' to the end of /lib/systemd/system/cloud9.service

and also run:

sudo chown -R :cloud9ide /var/lib/cloud9/ || true
sudo chmod -R g+w /var/lib/cloud9/ || true
sudo chown -R :cloud9ide /opt/cloud9/.c9/ || true
sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/cloud9/.c9/ || true

as for some reason the package still didn't fix those...

Regards,

I’m flashing it now. Wow, things really download fast when you aren’t competing with 2000 students.

–Mark

Well, it’s running. Here’s a couple of things I notice:

  1. The message “Failed to write to ‘state.settings’. Access denied acccessing this file or folder.” Keeps flashing in red above the edit window.

  2. The terminal window starts in /var/lib/cloud9. (A good place to start.) Typing cd changes you to /opt/cloud9 which is owned by root. I think it should be /home/debian.

I’ll keep playing around with it.

–Mark

Well, it's running. Here's a couple of things I notice:

1. The message "Failed to write to 'state.settings'. Access denied
acccessing this file or folder." Keeps flashing in red above the edit
window.

That's what this would fix..

sudo chown -R :cloud9ide /var/lib/cloud9/ || true
sudo chmod -R g+w /var/lib/cloud9/ || true
sudo chown -R :cloud9ide /opt/cloud9/.c9/ || true
sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/cloud9/.c9/ || true

but you can try:

sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade

as i pushed another new bone101/c9-core-installer update which should do above ^

2. The terminal window starts in /var/lib/cloud9. (A good place to start.)
Typing cd changes you to /opt/cloud9 which is owned by root. I think it
should be /home/debian.

/opt/cloud9/ is the home directory for cloud9 application. :wink:

otherwise i haven't found where that is spawn'ed yet..

Regards,

finally, those directories have the correct permissions on a clean build. :wink:

Have you had any luck with Drew's udev rule?

Regards,

Yup, the chown/chmod fixed it, and the apt upgrade appears to have worked too.

As for the udev rules, no. I still need to sudo to access the gpio pins. Looks like everything is still root:root.

dmesg[1] doesn’t seem to show anything.

–Mark

[1] http://paste.debian.net/927517/

Did you add the udev rule? It's not packaged.. and i just tried it,
maybe Drew knows what's going on:

installed via:

wget https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python/raw/master/udev/80-non-root-gpio-permissions.rules
wget https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-beaglebone-io-python/raw/master/udev/udev-non-root-gpio-permissions.sh
sudo mv udev-non-root-gpio-permissions.sh /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/udev-non-root-gpio-permissions.sh
sudo mv 80-non-root-gpio-permissions.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo reboot

BUT serial login is toast:

blinkled.js still fails...

Regards,

Hmmm… nothing in /etc/udev/rules.d. Looks like it didn’t install.

–Mark

That was it. gpio seems to be working now as debian. I’ll keep playing…

–Mark

I’ll ask about student support. If the student is directly supporting the class, I think it can be done. However if the student is supporting an outside project it get trickier.

Could we pay a student?

–Mark

Okay got gpio working and it's not locking up the serial port:

chown -R root:gpio /sys/class/gpio
chmod -R ug+rw /sys/class/gpio

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/boot-scripts/commit/dfd4241c909000837a1ebb7fb6c3d474def8e52f

and this udev rule:
