wsdd2 service failure after reboot
First reboot in month or so. I'm running 6.6.0 which has been super stable by the way. I shut the system down for an annual cleaning (just clean dust out of chassis really) and after booting wsdd2 se...

Thanks again. There's another update available now (or soon) that should fix the remaining issue.

Update went smoothly, but no change. Strace output even looks the same.

Can you send in a fresh set of logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
- dsm1212Jan 05, 2017Apprentice
Ok, sent!

Can you run `ulimit -c unlimited`, then manually start the process from the command line? That should give us a nice core dump to analyze in /var/cores. If you can get the core file and email it in (probably zipped) that would be extremely helpful.

Sent! If you can't get it from this I'll open up access.
- dsm1212Jan 06, 2017Apprentice
BTW I didn't check what ulimit was before I changed it to unlimited. What value should it be set back to?

I don't think I was getting cores at all before so I set it back to 0 with "ulimit -c 0".

Thanks for sending the file. Don't worry about the core ulimit. It's only effective for that particular login session.
You've got OpenVPN running, which creates a virtual network interface. That interface has some properties that weren't being handled by wsdd2, causing the crash. We have just posted a wsdd2 update (package version 1.5) into the apt repository that you can update to, which should fix the crash. It may take a few hours for the update to propagate through the CDN, but once it's there you should be able to just run:
# apt-get update # apt-get install wsdd2
to update to wsdd2 1.5, assuming you're running 6.6.1 firmware.

Yes, that fixed it! Thanks

I spoke too soon. it runs longer but it still cores. I'll zip the new core and send it.

BTW it is still related to openvpn. If I stop that then wsdd2 will start and keep running. If I start openvpn, then wsdd2 exits in less than a minute.

Yes, victory again :-). I wasn't watching the pid last time and I think systemctl was restarting it for a couple of times. This time the pid is not changing and it's been running for 10 minutes. Thanks!
