Docker configuration manager agent did not finish provisioning in time

[MohammedSaif]

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on setting up Automated License Plate Recognition Reference Implementation. I've reached the end of the guide and am at the part where I need to run a make command to open the webUI and run the Docker container. However, when i click Run use case, i get an error on the UI saying "Command not found, check console debug". On the console, it says Configuration Manager Agent did not finish the provisioning in time. Can someone help me resolve this?

Hi MohammedSaif,

I just installed the Automated License Plate Recognition Reference Implementation on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 system and completed the installation guide except for the AWS and Thingsboard setup. I am able to run the license plate recognition sample from the web gui without any issues.

Could you share the logs from the ia_configmgr_agent docker container? Try to run the use case from the web gui and on a separate terminal run docker logs ia_configmgr_agent.

Regards,

Jesus

Hey Jesus, thank you for the reply. I figured it was a docker related issue so i went ahead and removed all docker related files and tried another fresh install of the RI on my system. This time, everything was successfully installed. I am able to start the web gui and run the use case. However, the problem i am facing now is that after i run the use case, a small window opens up (i am assuming this is the video with inference running) and closes instantly. The webserver backend doesn't say what error it is. Logs attached

Hi MohammedSaif,

I believe you are seeing the window with the inference results for a second before it closes. I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary from the log files provided. Could you double check that the video file is not corrupted? The video input used this time is from upscaling to 1080p correct?

Please provide the output of docker logs ia_visualizer_alpr.

Regards,

Jesus

Hey Jesus, thanks again for your reply. Appreciate all your help so far. Attaching the output of the command you posted above.

Hi MohammedSaif,

Could you try the following and see if this fixes your issue?

1. Verify the display name by running the who command in your terminal (Example output: user :0 2022-08-09 14:38 (:0))
2. Update the DISPLAY variable: export DISPLAY=":0"
3. Disable access control xhost +

Also, please check that your user is part of the video group.

Regards,

Jesus

Hi Jesus,

Ran the commands written above. Also checked the video group and can confirm my username is present there. Using the 1080p version of the video and the file is intact. Still experiencing the same issue

Hi MohammedSaif,

I am unable to reproduce the issue, could you tell me a little more about your environment?

• Is the system behind a firewall?
• Are you accessing the system remotely or physically?
• Does this system have a fresh Ubuntu 20 install?
• Ubuntu and Kernel version?

Regards,

Jesus

Hi Jesus,

I have a laptop with Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS installed. I am using my home wifi, hence do not have any firewall in place.

I got the laptop from a colleague who was able to run the container successfully. I was unsuccessful in my first attempt and did a fresh install yesterday. I still haven't been successful in implementing the RI.

Hi MohammedSaif,

Double check that the REPO_FOLDER folder is set to the correct path. To give you an example, this is how my make command looks.

user@ubuntu20:~/Downloads/automated_license_plate_recognition/Automated_License_Plate_Recognition_2022.1/Automated_License_Plate_Recognition/EII-LicensePlateRecognition-UseCase$ make webui EII_BASE=~/Downloads/automated_license_plate_recognition/Automated_License_Plate_Recognition_2022.1/IEdgeInsights REPO_FOLDER=~/Downloads/automated_license_plate_recognition/Automated_License_Plate_Recognition_2022.1/Automated_License_Plate_Recognition/EII-LicensePlateRecognition-UseCase

Hi Jesus,

Thank you for your reply. After checking my command, i did realise that the path was incorrect. I was able to start the WebUI again. However, I am stuck again, but this time, with an error that i got in the past. The UI says - Command not found, check console debug.

Attaching the config mgr logs as well. But i think the error is because the ia visualizer alpr container isnt starting for some reason.

saif@saif-Latitude-7520:~/Desktop/LPR$ docker logs ia_visualizer_alpr
Error: No such container: ia_visualizer_alpr

The entire installation was successful. So i don't understand why the above container is unable to start? Last time I faced an error like this, i pruned all docker volumes and did a reinstall of the RI. But even after i did that, the inference window would close within 1 second. This time, I've reinstalled Ubuntu in the hopes that it would fix the problem. But it hasn't. What would be your best advice in this situation? And if i wanted to debug this on my own, what logs would you recommend checking?

Hi MohammedSaif,

It's very strange that you don't have all the docker containers. Could you provide the output of docker ps -a?

As for installation logs, you can find them at the following location. If you can share those logs, I can take a look and see if I see anything strange.

/var/log/esb-cli/Automated_License_Plate_Recognition_2022.1/

Hi Jesus,

Update: I double-checked the path and tried again and can say that I got the inference window up and running. However, please note that currently, the RI that is working is in my 2nd installation directory (primary still broken). I will work with this working RI for now. Thanks for your and SShan's help with this.

Glad you have a working reference implementation, if you need any additional information, please submit a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored.
