Upgrade failure BliKVM v4 Allwinner

[benalexau]

As part of testing the fix for #79 I attempted to upgrade a BlikKVM v4 Allwinner.

First I updated the OS via SSH:

apt-mark hold linux-dtb-edge-sunxi64 linux-image-edge-sunxi64
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
reboot

After rebooting I SSHed in again:

sudo -i
cd /
mkdir update
cd update
wget https://github.com/ThomasVon2021/blikvm/releases/download/v1.4.3/release-h616-v4-alpha.tar.gz
tar -zxvf release-h616-v4-alpha.tar.gz 
cd release/
python3 install_release.py --releasepath=./

This failed with:

bash: install-kvmd-main.sh: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/update/release/install_release.py", line 77, in <module>
    main()

The requested install-kvmd-main.sh does not exist:

Any suggestions?

sudo -i cd /opt/bin/blikvm/ git stash git pull --rebase python3 /opt/bin/blikvm/script/update.py

If you want test the newest alpha version, use:

python3 /opt/bin/blikvm/script/update.py alpha

[ThomasVon2021]

or python3 install_release.py --releasepath=./ --alpha=true

[benalexau]

Thanks for the instructions. I followed your earlier comment, but found python3 /opt/bin/blikvm/script/update.py without the alpha parameter reports a release not found error. It does work with alpha though:

$ python3 /opt/bin/blikvm/script/update.py alpha
Board type: BoardType.V4_H616
The latest release tag for blikvm is  v1.4.3

I was able to login to the updated web UI, although the issue in #79 remains. Do I need to set a config somewhere to enable relative mouse modes?

[ThomasVon2021]

UI mouse have the config. Relative mode estimation has not been tested by anyone yet, there may be issues, waiting for your feedback after testing
