Using Jenkins
1

Hi, I updraged my Jenkins master to version 2.325 ans now when I reboot my jenkins nodes they doesnt reconnect with the master, ans when I reconect the node from the master, it tells a error copying file remoting.jar, and if I remove this file in the node then I can reconnect the node, any permission was change in any folder in the master and nodes machines, then I dont understand why appear this error now when in the previous jenkins version it works fine,

The log to connect with node:

Thanks.

Is /var,/lib/Jenkins not writable by the user you connected as?

3

yes, the user jenkins can write, it is confirmed because if I execute this command from master to the node, remoting.jar file is overwritten in the node.

scp remoting.jar jenkins@x.x.x.x:/var/lib/jenkins

The permissions of jenkins folder are:

drwx------ 23 jenkins jenkins 4.0K Jan 21 06:57 jenkins

Hi, anyone know what could be the issue? Thanks

I am also experiencing this issue. Any one has a fix for this one ? Appreciate your help.

open an issue on https://issues.jenkins.io
there’s no new info to help diagnose this. Try to include what version of jenkins, what os, what the drive is formatted as. What the login shell is. etc

Thanks Gavin. I found the solution here :: [JENKINS-67258] Could not copy remoting.jar - Jenkins Jira.
… upgrading SSH Build Agents / SSH Slaves Plugin to version 1.32.0 and beyond helps with resolving this problem …

I have not performed the upgrades, or applied the migration change to “Controller” terminology.

Instead what resolved the problem for me was (on the agent):
mv /var/lib/jenkins/remoting.jar /var/lib/jenkins/remoting.jar-RENAMED

I did not expect that to actually work, because I saw no ownership or permission issues on the file, or on the parent directory. But it worked. FYI if you are not ready to update the system.
