Updating KA-Lite

[j-schwartz]

Currently, running the master script to update KA-Lite:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rachelproject/rachelplus/master/cap-rachel-configure.sh \
-O /root/cap-rachel-configure.sh; bash /root/cap-rachel-configure.sh
1 - online
2 - install KA-Lite

will result in the CAP attempting to redownload all videos from rachelfriends.org without the option to skip this step if the CAP already has them.

On the bright side, I can 'stage' an update now through weaved and it'll blast all our units with a fix to the 10.10.10.10 whenever they come online.

Updated to fix the 10.10.10.10 issue…I also tested and then removed the sleep timers (they were from historical builds). The new boot times are just over 1 minute to operational (except for KA Lite) and 3 minutes to boot with KA Lite operational. That was with a spinning disk (NOT SSD).

Run the Repair Bugs option in the utility menu.

fantastic! thank you

[spatiald]

Tested a bunch more...I can't get KA Lite to start reliably without a delay during boot. Trying to figure out the sweet spot...will report back today.

Let me know if I can help with any diagnostics or other information.

If the information below is not helpful. Ignore it for now. When I am stuck I will ask for help.

I am learning the wireless hardware detection, driver instalion, and configuration commands. I am working on configuring an Access Point on an old laptop on which I just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04.5 LTS.

Many wireless adapters, particularly Broadcom, have trouble with the power saving feature in Ubuntu. A lot of people just use the following command to turn off power management. It does not turn off power to the adapter.

sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off

I may have reintroduced some problems with the wired Ethernet jack with a recent usb-recovery when used it to set up my SSD Drive on one CAP.

USB CAP Multitool - Version 6 - Started Thu Jan 21 09:13:53 PST 2016

BASH version: 4.2.25(1)-release Multitool configured to run method: 3 .......

The jack is slow to wake up after going the full sequence of green blinks, but it is not nearly as slow as my previous units. However, there is now a stability problem. The link has been going down soon after it starts while I am running some checks logged in with ssh. KA-Lite did start without a problem.

This is the CAP that Jeremy sent me empty about a month ago. I had it working pretty well with the usb-recovery from last fall. It now has 4 GBtyes of RAM with only 2 GBytes recognized by the O/S, but 4 GBytes recognized by lshw.

Sam, is the delay your sleep function in rachel-scripts.sh? I'm just harkening back to memory here but I thought I needed a sleep 20 in some pi models of rachel, which preceded a ka-lite start in /etc/rc.local

sleep 5

That appears to be enough. I'll push an updated configure script with this today and it also has some other nice features like self-update by running "./cap-rachel-configure.sh -u" and repairs by just running "./cap-rachel-configure.sh -r"

Final testing, maybe one hour.

[spatiald]

Just pushed a big interface update.

Usage: cap-rachel-configure.sh [-h] [-i] [-r] [-u]

Examples: ./setips.sh -h Displays this help menu.

./setips.sh -i Interactive mode (the original menu items)

./setips.sh -r Repair issues found in the RACHEL-Plus.

./setips -u Update this script with the latest RELEASE version from GitHub.

KA Lite installer is not part of the initial install. Install after you run the new install script. Original video download should be fixed. Reopen, if necessary.

A small issue when I try to install the 0.16.1 of Ka-lite. The hash for that file is missing. See below the output including the error message.

Nice catch...forgot to add them. Should be fixed; please test.

[spatiald]

Run an update on the configure script and then re-run the install.
