Hi everyone. I’m trying to use the terminal after pushing an application up, however I’m running into issues. The terminal in the dashboard gives the following in a continuous loop, and never actually gives me a prompt:
Connecting to e96081[REDACTED]...
Spawning shell...
rpc error: code = 2 desc = invalid character 'e' looking for beginning of value
SSH session disconnected
SSH reconnecting...
Spawning shell...
rpc error: code = 2 desc = invalid character 'e' looking for beginning of value

Hardware is a Pi 1 running Resin OS 2.0.8+rev1 (prod)
Has anyone encountered this before? Any suggestions for fixing it? Thanks!
That is, same error reported by @rglenn, using a Raspberry Pi 1 B board with Resin OS 2.0.8.
Also tried with the new 2.2.0, with the same result.
Also tried with resin-cli version 5.10.2 and 6.3.0, with the same result.
Switching back to Resin OS 2.0.6 seems to solve the problem: I can connect to my Raspberry Pi 1 B.
Raspberry Pi 0 W, known to be based on the Raspberry Pi 1 image, is not affected by the problem.
Also, obviously, Raspberry Pi 3 is not affected by the problem.
hey @daghemo That’s very strange, thanks for letting us know. We’ll be checking it out and try to reproduce the issue. What base image are you using? Is it possible to share the code that you are deploying on the device?
The main difference between 2.0.6 and newer versions is the newer using Docker 17.03.
Just set up a Raspberry Pi 1 with resinOS 2.2.0+rev1 and a basic Python project. That did not give me those issues, thus so far cannot replicate this.
Can you share the code that you are deploying, or if you have a device doing that, send us the dashboard link of the device in private message? That would help quite a bit to triage this issue!
It happens me, too.
after deploy my application, it works very well. but a day after, It shows me ‘rpc error’.
It works again after restart my application.
@phynias, @EugeneGwon, do you still have these issues? If you hit them, could you send us a heads up here to have a chance to debug when it’s happening? Or if you have a repeatable way to replicate it, that would be also helpful. It’s not great that the application needs to be restarted for any reason like this.
Hi, @imrehg
I still have this issue. usually, this happens when I sleep/wake up my mac book.
here’s how to :
open multiple application terminals(2 or 3) on resin.io dashboard
sleep my mac book (‘sleep’ menu under Apple icon)
wake up my mac book about 10 mins later
refresh browser; now I can see terminals are trying to respawn shell but failed with an error
(rpc error: code=2 desc=invalid character ‘e’ looking for beginning of value)
most time, at least 1 terminal had succeeded to reconnect, but sometimes, all fail.
If I keep open/close terminal multiple times, then it suddenly succeeded to connect !
I’m having this consistently happen on my raspberry pi zero w.
I ssh’d in via dev mode, and can reprpdouce with
~# docker exec -it ef802e4585c4 bash -v
rpc error: code = 2 desc = invalid character ‘e’ looking for beginning of value
Trying it without -t causes a full error message to be spit out
~# docker exec -i ef802e4585c4 bash
rpc error: code = 2 desc = oci runtime error: exec failed: container_linux.go:248: starting container process caused “process_linux.go:100: writing config to pipe caused “write parent: broken pipe””

Given that docker 17.03.1 was released in febuary, kicking up the version may be the easiest way to test the fix.
I just also started to have this problem now. Worked fine last week.
I have Resin OS 2.2.0+rev1 (prod) on a raspberry P1. it has been running for around a week on same software that I deployed on Oct 29th 2017. Application works fine but unable to use terminal. Haven’t tried any fixes yet
I also just started getting this message. Also running Raspberry Pi 1, running Resin OS 2.2.0+rev1(prod). Started in the last few days. Sometimes I can log in, most times not - today not at all.
I have 2 units that are showing this problem. I think (need to find a way to verify) the ones that are failing were built as 2.2.0+rev1 rather than being upgraded to 2.2.0 (originally built with 2.0.0+rev3).
Hi, sorry for the delay. Could you grant us a bit longer access, and provide the device’s dashboard URL? Otherwise we can’t know what device to look at.
OK, I have granted support access for 1 week. The UUID of a failing node is 608030f24d65e80db139536335940ad2.
I originally responded to you by email and apparently I have an email configuration issue as you never received it (it had the UUIDs in that email)
