Same problem with ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
Service don’t start after update to 8.2.0

fadjar340 · October 8, 2021, 4:48am

Yep,

Same problem using RockyLinux 8.4, the work around is to uninstall grafana-image-renderer plugins, but I don’t know the effect, since my dashboard working fine…

I tried to uninstall and grafana server up and running, then when install the grafana-image-renderer plugins, grafana stopped, even the plugins goes to version 3.2.1
The alert with image will broken as alert to Telegram.

Regards,
Fadjar Tandabawana

sniff122 · October 8, 2021, 2:09pm

i can confirm this issue too. Im on ubuntu server 21.04 with grafana 8.2.0. ive tried to update the image renderer plugin with no change. uninstalling the plugin appears to have resolved this issue

mattabrams · October 8, 2021, 7:26pm

Hi All,

think we should make an issue for this in the repo

mattabrams · October 8, 2021, 8:23pm

could y’all provide more detailed reproduction steps? Installing a fresh 8.2.0 standalone binary, I can install image-renderer using the new plugin platform inside the UI.

Upgrading/Updating using a package manager? Updating an instance with image-renderer` already installed, I presume… From what version Grafana?

No doubt everyone is hitting a bug: just want to collect some clearer steps for reproduction

Installing with grafana-cli results in grafana not being able to start, with the log I posted before.

Installing via GUI yields this error, while trying to render a direct share image:

Everything began when I upgraded to 8.2.0. If I uninstall the plugin via grafana-cli, grafana starts with no problems. I upgraded grafana as usual, with apt update/upgrade on my Debian installation. I don’t remember the previous version, but It was 8 with certain, and not too old. If I can recover wich version I had, please tell me how.

Thanks

mattabrams · October 8, 2021, 9:43pm

so there is an issue right now with 8.2.0 and systemd. I’m seeing it on my end, when I try to update grafana on ubuntu 18.04 to 8.2.0 and the service hangs.

Can you try this workaround posted for that other issue and see what happens?:

Thank you. The workaround worked for me.

mattabrams · October 8, 2021, 10:50pm
