Remove 'please upgrade to latest client message'

[guysoft]

Hey, developer of ElectricSheepPi here, Is there a way to remove this mmessage, which is irrelevant to RaspberryPi users?

Thanks,

[scottdraves]

sure what version string is it sending?

[guysoft]

What ever is in master here. It was built yesterday.

Is there a command to return the version?

[scottdraves]

i think the most reliable way to resolve this is:

• put a unique string in for your email in the settings, like "guysoft_374@gmail.com".
• let it run for a while.
• let me know what unique string you used.
• i will look in the server logs and see exactly what the client is reporting and then deal with it as appropriate.

[guysoft]

Where do you set that?

I can see["os_version"]="LNX_2.7b33", in ElectricSheep.cfg

I found the message in ~/.electricsheep/content/xml/cp_0.xml

<get gen="247" retry="600"><message>please upgrade to the latest client from www.electricsheep.org
</message></get>

Output of ~/.electricsheep/ElectricSheep.cfg:

This is what I see in help:

[scottdraves]

put it in the "nickname":

["nickname"]="guysoft_374@gmail.com",

[guysoft]

Done and rebooted

[guysoft]

@scottdraves Been running for 17 hours, any way to test?

[guysoft]

Just saw that @Ichthyostega has committed this - perhaps as a workaround?

https://github.com/Ichthyostega/electricsheep/commit/115a32ae008181d601ff563dc93fd04c6944bf2a

[scottdraves]

try again, should be good now. the server now allows LNX_2.7b33. that version string is out of date, it really should LNX_3.0.2, like that commit says, but that version would also need to be added to the server access list.

[guysoft]

Should I make a pull request for the version number?

[scottdraves]

Sure that would be great.

Did the "please upgrade" message go away?

[guysoft]

I am not next to the machine at the moment, will look when I am there.

BTW - is there a way to increase the resolution rendered?

[scottdraves]

For HD you can sign up for the Gold Sheep, the premium version.

[guysoft]

Does that work for RaspberryPi?

[scottdraves]

i have heard it does but haven't tried it myself. it might depend on which Pi hardware, the old ones might not be powerful enough, idk.

[guysoft]

Cool! Running a build for a fixed version 0.2.1. You can follow at: http://gnethomelinux.com:808/job/CustomPiOS/19/console

[scottdraves]

i added the new version to the access list as well.

[guysoft]

If you want to give me access to test on Premium I can tell you, I have a 3B+ which is the fastest. If it is, then my distro makes it really easy to use, you just flash it, set up the settings, and its ready to go. I can make it so the ElectricSheep.cfg is accessible from the /boot folder.

[guysoft]

Ok seems like LNX_2.7b33 is working now, I need to checkout the new build. For now closing.
