Bliss

[wonkey_donkey]

I have recently installed Bliss via the web gui but i have no icon for it in the VB web page.


Any ideas how i get it to show? I've rebooted the VB several times and it said it installed ok.

Login to your VortexBox as root and enter



service bliss start



If you want bliss to automatically start at boot time:



chkconfig bliss on

Bliss sets itself to autostart when it's installed. You should not need to set this manually. Sounds like maybe you had network problems and bliss didn't get installed properly.

If you suspect bliss is not installed properly, you can reinstall it by



yum reinstall bliss

I'm having the same issue on another machine which is still running 1.5.





[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# service bliss start
bliss: unrecognized service
[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# yum reinstall bliss
Setting up Reinstall Process
http://dl.atrpms.net/f11-i386/.....repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found

Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: atrpms. Please verify its path and try again





So I went to the bliss site and found this URL link for the RPM and tried this command. (Hoping it doesn't kill this remote box which is a 4 hour drive away)





[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# rpm -Uhv http://www.blisshq.com/downloa.....1.i386.rpm





This didn't work since it's dependent on JRE so I gave up before doing damage. I would try to find the JRE package but I fear that would lead to another dependency and so on and so forth.




Oddly enough "Upgrade Status" shows bliss installed but no icon on the side bar.




Ideas?

Since you're still on VB-15/F11, you'll have to remove the atrpms repository before going and further:


rpm -e --nodeps atrpms-release
Now you can start using yum once again with getting atrpms repo errors.


To install bliss:

yum install bliss

yum will also install jre, a dependency of bliss, as it should.


You can check if bliss is running by



service bliss status



If bliss isn't running, start it by



service bliss start



Once bliss has been installed, reload the VB GUI page at http://vortexbox and you should see the bliss icon. Click on it to get to the bliss GUI. If there is no bliss icon, you can get to the bliss GUI at
