Update to latest version

[R3play13]

When i want do update to the 0.98.10 with the „ sudo apt install ./vcontrold_0.98.10-176_armhf.deb “ command, i get the message that it is on the latest version.

I use a Raspberry Pi zero.

When i check the Version with telnet it gives 0.98.2 … can anybody help me?

I saw the closed issue, but i don‘t understand the instructions to solve it.

apt install [{=pkg_version_number | /target_release}]... operates on your configured package repositories, not on your file system.

The command sudo dpkg -i ./vcontrold_0.98.10-176_armhf.deb should do what you desire.

Okay, thanks for the answer.

When i run this command, thats the output:

sudo dpkg -i ./vcontrold_0.98.10-176_armhf.deb (Lese Datenbank ... 45450 Dateien und Verzeichnisse sind derzeit installiert.) Vorbereitung zum Entpacken von .../vcontrold_0.98.10-176_armhf.deb ...

After a reboot i still got the same Version:

telnet localhost 3002 Trying ::1... Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. vctrld>version Version: 0.98.2_IPv6 vctrld>

Is there anything else i had to do?

Sorry but I'm a rookie at things like that.

The latest binary vcontrold from the releases comes with version info 0.98.10 and gets installed as /usr/sbin/vcontrold. The Debian Package is created via checkinstall, and contains nothing more than vcontrold, vclient and man pages/docs (no init script, no systemd stuff).

Please make sure you have no stray vcontrold binary (e.g. in /usr/local/sbin) which got started.

So....

I located another vcontrold binary in /usr/local/sbin and in openv/vcontrold-code/vcontrold.

After i remove the one in /usr/local/sbin and restart, i can't start vcontrold anymore and i get an Error "Speicherzugriffsfehler".

When i put in the oiriginal vcontrold into /usr/local/sbin from my backup i can start it normally again.

In /etc/init.d/vcontrol is saw that the path was /usr/local/sbin, i changed it to /usr/sbin...

Now it starts with the original Vcontrold binary in /usr/sbin.

But with the updated binary i get the "Speicherzugriffsfehler".

Is it because of the Pi Zero?

Does the Version 0.98.10 have problems with the ARM6?

[speters]

Sorry, I overlooked your "Pi Zero". Please try to build the package by yourself, as the one provided in the releases section is for "armhf", which the Pi Zero isn't fully compatible with.

The build process is documented in doc/INSTALL.md. To keep dependences sparse, you can use cmake -DMANPAGES=OFF .. to omit the generation of manual pages (which makes use of rst2man).

Okay,

sorry but I never done something with make before… so I go to /openv/ vcontrold-code/vcontrold and do „ mkdir build…cd build… cmake -DMANPAGES=off … sudo make install“ ?

sorry i‘m a Noob…

[speters]

You have to install the required packages beforehand (sudo apt install build-essential cmake libxml2-dev). Then it is as simple as you said:

cd vcontrold-sourcedir
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DMANPAGES=off  ..
make

After the build process you could do a make install or you can copy vcontrold and vclient manually to their locations.

Thanks for the quick and detailed help!

Works without Problems. ;-)
