Unable to add Kliper on OEM version 1.4.15 with Armbian 23.11.1 Jammy

jgbrown54

When the Install button is selected and the Klipper version is selected, a terminal window is opened asking for the password for repetierserver but the terminal window does not accept text input and therefore the password can not be entered.

If a terminal window is opened from Global Settings, it does accept text and the password can be entered.

Is there a way allow the terminal window opened by the Install to accept text?

Or can Klipper be installed into the proper locations for Repetier-Server from the terminal window

I also found that if I open SSH in Putty and try to log in as repetierserver, as soon as I issue the password for repetierserver. the Putty window is closed. Note that previous comment shows that if I open a terminal window in the Server, it will ask for password for repetierserver and then ask for another account login and password.

Du you have sudo istalled? repetierserver has no password so you can not use it to login directly.
On installation it adds a file
/etc/sudoers.d/repetierserver-perms
that allows running klipper install as root due to these lines:

repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/installInputShaping

repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/createFirmware

repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/installKlipper

repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/uninstallKlipper

repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/restartKlipper

repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/inputShaping

repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/updateKlipper

repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/getKlipperLog

repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/installRepetierNightly

repetierserver ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/Repetier-Server/bin/installRepetierLatest

but this only works when sudo is installed. When you get asked a password it would normally mean sudo is installed, but the file is missing or being ignored. We assume that the starting /etc/sudoers file contains this line:
@includedir /etc/sudoers.d

I probably created the issue because I added a password to repetierserver. I'll start from scratch and not add a password and see what happens.

Repetier

Password should make no difference. It is only important that sudo is configured to run the commands without password question, which is what the configuration above would do.

I started the installation from scratch but this time I didn't set a password for repetierserver and didn't set it for SU. Everything worked fine. I was able to install Klipper. Now my issue is that I need to modify Klipper to work with the Enraged Rabbit Carrot Feeder. I am attempting to install Happy-Hare It provides selections to specify the installation folder and the configuration folder. But when it runs, it can't find the Klipper service even though it must be running because the printer works. Is the service running under a different name?

Repetier

Service name is not visible you only see started file. Service is defined in /etc/init.d in filename klipper_Slugname. Klipper gets installed in /opt/klipper in subdirectories. there you can modify klipper after installation as needed.
