"can't start" error when running

[KernelDeimos]

After compiling and installing the widget using afm-util, clicking the icon does nothing.

When starting the application using afm-util, the following error is displayed:

root@raspberrypi3:~# afm-util start helloworld-application@0.1-f92a6dd
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: "can't start"

Additionally, some menu icons break, but their respective applications still work by using afm-util start ...

[KernelDeimos]

Update: after reinstalling and uninstalling the widget a few times using afm-util, not a single application works even after restarting the OS

What AGL version do you use? There is a fix to by pass a bug in the security manager

[KernelDeimos]

It turns out I was using Eel, but I'm going to try it again in Flounder. The developer docs still say Eel is the latest release

[KernelDeimos]

Unfortunately I can't compile Flounder for Raspberry Pi 3 (which is what I'm currently targeting)

I got the same erorr:

ERROR: can't start system unit afm-appli-helloworld-application--0.1-2c37fd4-dirty--main@.service for uid 1001 [/w/workspace/release-jjb-halibut-snapshot/MACHINE/qemux86-64/label/agl-test-slave/repoclone/output/tmp/work/corei7-64-agl-linux/af-main/halibut+gitAUTOINC+533d5a1a51-r0/git/src/afm-urun.c:252]

I'm using agl-demo-platform-crosssdk-qemux86-64.wic.vmdk version 8.0.1

The application must be installed on the target image not in the crosssdk image that is only available for compiling

Thanks for replying quickly.

I downloaded the vmdk file from here https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/AGL/release/halibut/8.0.1/qemux86-64/deploy/images/qemux86-64/
I also built an agl-demo-platform-qemux86-64.wic.vmdk myself.
And they have the same error when I try to start the app.

Okay so that is an error. Are you sure to have the image with the webruntime? It is called Web Application Manager. It comes when you perform aglsetup.sh with the feature agl-html5-framework

I'm struggling with the same kind of error.
My setup is agl-demo-platform-qemux86-64.wic.vmdk image and guppy 7.0.4 SDK.
Command qemux86-64:~# afm-util install helloworld-native-application.wgt returns

{
  "added":"helloworld-native-application@0.1-fe47611-dirty"
}

However when I try to run qemux86-64:~# afm-util start helloworld-native-application@0.1-fe47611-dirty, I receive the following error:

ERROR: cannot-start

Other preinstalled applications like dashboard or hvac are running ok with afm-utils start ...

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it?

Hi, I also want to ask are there more tutorials or instructions on how to build html5 apps on AGL?
I think more materials on that would be great for more people/companies to get started more easily.

Stéphane sent a reply about similar issue on agl-dev-community :
https://lists.automotivelinux.org/g/agl-dev-community/topic/57195627#7822

Support of HTML5 apps on AGL are quite recent and I'm fully agree with you about the lack of documentation. We/IoT.bzh partially contribute to HTML5 app support but most of work has been done by other compagnies.
Feel free to post your request on agl-dev-community mailing and also feel free to contribute to AGL docs.

@karapetyantv, @jobol I have same issue and are there any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,

• what AGL version do you use?
• what is the related output of journal? (use journalctl)

[janaki2]

@jobol

1. I am using the Flounder 6.0 AGL version image which is available to download -
   https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/AGL/release/flounder/6.0.4/qemux86-64/deploy/images/qemux86-64/
2. I have used the SDK to build .wgt file for the helloworld-native-application
3. Secure copied the .wgt to AGL environment which is running on qemu x86_64
4. Using afm_util commands installed the .wgt.
5. afm_util start throws an error messgae as below -
   afm-util start helloworld-native-application@0.1-fe2c958-dirty
   ERROR: cannot-start

The output for journalctl -f on the AGL - when starting application -

What is the output of the commands

journalctl -xu afm-appli-helloworld-native-application--0.1-fe2c958-dirty--main@0.service
