Hello Everyone,
- What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
I am setting up a new Grafana environment. I have installed Grafana 10.2.6 but after installing the Grafana Image Renderer, the grafana-server does not start properly anymore.
I instlaled the Image renderer using:
[root@icinga-master-test plugins]# grafana cli plugins install grafana-image-renderer
which resulted in installing grafana-image-renderer v3.12.2
-
What are you trying to achieve?
Trying to start grafana-server with the grafana-image-renderer already installed -
How are you trying to achieve it?
#systemctl restart grafana-server -
What happened?
[root@icinga-master-test grafana-image-renderer]# systemctl status grafana-server
× grafana-server.service - Grafana instance

I have installed chromium and seems that there are no missing libraries when checking with:

Probably this fork/exec … permission denied is causing the problem. What could be the possible reason and what can I try to fix it?
I also tried to install older version of the image renderer. I tried with 3.10.0 and 3.7.0 but the result is the same as with the latest 3.12.0
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
