    The folder /var/log/grafana is empty. No log file inside.
    The file /etc/grafana/grafana.ini has no Logging [log] section. A added ;level = info but the folder /var/log/grafana is still empty.

So you have error:

grafana-server: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: ELF load command address/offset not page-aligned

Ask your grafana package provider if it is really compiled for your OS.

7

You mean there is no grafana package for debian 12 (bookworm)?

8

so you are running this Debian Linux on a rpi?

9

How did you install Grafana?

10

yes

I used this guide…

11
12

same issue

13

you tried it just now that fast?

14

yes :grinning:

15

probably skipped something :crazy_face::rofl:

16

my bet: Several shared libraries on 32-bit Bookworm are linked with 4K page alignment producing fails in systemd-nspawn · Issue #120 · raspberrypi/bookworm-feedback · GitHub

17

Unfortunately, I’m not a professional. What i have to do?
Add kernel=kernel8.img to file /boot/firmware/config.txt? But I didn’t find any “kernel8.img” in folder /boot/firmware.

18

I don’t know. That’s not Grafana problem, but RPI problem → RPI forum will be better to ask
