Serial Port renaming throws error about consolepi HOT 4 CLOSED

@cadirol Thanks for the heads up, I failed to update that portion of the code after a recent overhaul. I just updated and tested it, so it should be working again. (you'll need to do a consolepi-upgrade to upgrade to the current release or consolepi-sync will suffice if you're on v2020.2 ... which you can check with consolepi-version)

Let me know how it goes.

@Pack3tL0ss No worries! Your work is really appreciated! I will upgrade the Pi in the upcoming days.
Another thing: We like to implement a Out-of-band environment with aprox. 10 consolePi - now i have question about unattended installation (with ansible). Should i open i GIT issue? However it is not a issue more a question...

@cadirol I haven't worked out the installation as a totally unattended deal you could do with a playbook. With a Pi you're going to have to image the micro-sd card, hence the image_creator script (in the install dir). You still run the installer but the Config file and a bunch of other stuff can be pre-built so all the config values are imported (installer just verifies). I use it regularly to deploy test units/verify install script.

Somewhat bad news on the rename for adapters that don't have a serial #. It should work if plugged directly into the Pi, but it looks like it needs work when connected via a hub. Option 1 (which maps the adapter by vendor/model) looks good, I'll work out the kinks in option 2 (which maps it by vendor/model and the USB port it's plugged in to). over the next few days. (works fine now when connected directly into the Pi)

@cadirol just merged a fix for "lame" adapters (adapters that don't have a serial # written to the chip). Mapping by physical USB port (the port it's plugged in to) appears to work properly regardless of hub or hub--> hub etc.

you can grab the update with consolepi-sync ... consolepi-upgrade ensures you get any improvements to system files etc, but in this case nothing has changed in that regard so consolepi-sync will do (and is faster).

If you hit any issues re-open an issue, but just tested it on a couple of Pis / different hubs etc.
