This has come up a few times and the solution remains ... vague and mysterious. It's possibly a systemd issue, but we'll try a few other things in the meantime.
Have you setup and used owserver before? Do you have a working /etc/owfs.conf or are you using the supplied default? Are you running the kernel 1-wire module available through raspi-config (if so turn it off and see if the service will start.) What does the following command return... sudo /usr/bin/owserver -c /etc/owfs.conf --debug If you need to send that output to the list then sudo /usr/bin/owserver -c /etc/owfs.conf --debug >> /tmp/owservdebug.txt and attach /tmp/owservdebug.txt On 04/05/2020, Wt Riker <[email protected]> wrote: > I have installed owfs on my Pi4 platform.
