Latest apt-get upgrade shows 530 files??

[tmwillett]

I just did an apt-get update / upgrade earlier in the week, and ran it again tonight to see if anything else was available to fix an issue I'm having with my Gyration 4101 remote.  When I ran it tonight, it shows the following files are ready for update.  Is this for real?  I don't see anything on the forum indicating a large update is available..

The following packages will be upgraded:

These updates seem Ubuntu related and not LMCE specific updates...

[merkur2k]

yeah, those are all upstream packages.

[coley]

Umm I thought I had something go corrupt when I saw this after a power fail on my core.
I selected Y and now I think I have 8.10 lmce sitting on a half installed 10.04!!!
Do you see any mention of lucid in your /etc/apt/sources.list?

If I get a chance I'll try this again on an 8.10 install in a VM

I'd hold off installing until someone who knows more about the pkgs can comment.

I'm seeing similar with 596 upgraded and 471 held back. Not going to upgrade yet ... very nervous!

cfernandes has noticed a lucid entry in the sources.list.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid  main multiverse

If I change the lucid entry to intrepid I get:

[tmwillett]

I changed the Lucid entry to Intrepid and all of those updates disappeared.  Much happier now.  There is a pluto-database update available though.

Thanks!

[sedgington]

After a power outage, I was unfortunately doing too many things at once and did not notice this lucid entry until I had already said "Y". What is the best way to undo the lucid modifications that this upgrade added to my LMCE? Sound from the MD through toslink is not working and it seems to have messed up Insteon control.

Many thanks for any advice.

[coley]

what does apt-get upgrade list now? are there broken dependencies?
Is lucid still mentioned in your sources.list?

-Coley.

[sedgington]

I removed the lucid reference in sources.list and so upgrade shows nothing to install or update.

I went in and fixed the sound/video issues by following the link for installing libxine2 and "downgrading" to phinigma's pluto-xine-player:

http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php/topic,11497.0.html

I had to apt-get install w32codecs after this to get certain files to work.

On that front the only thing that does not work is recorded programs from mythtv that show up in the video menu--the image is fine but there is no sound--this may be the flavor of mpeg file they use at myth?

My insteon devices keep switching the serial port after every restart so I'm not sure if that was due to the upgrade or the power outage corrupting something. I'm still trying to figure out how to handle this.

Other than that, I can't see anything else that is not working. But any suggestions would be greatly appreciated on how to reverse the "upgraded" files from the lucid depository.

Thanks!

[tschak909]

Sorry about the issues you're having.

(1) as far as the mythTV recordings not playing in Xine correctly, this happens with certain H.264 files with AC3 encoded sound in them. Xine does not map things to the correct audio channels.. It happens for me with the HD-PVR .we need a proper fix...and honestly, I'd rather someone work on a solution to play TV recordings with MythTV, most of the code is there, there are control issues that need to be worked through in MythTV_Player.

(2) Your USB serial devices are switching..yuck.. the best way to deal with that is to make sure any USB to serial devices are plugged directly into the PC and not a hub. Please for the love of god, do not use a hub to connect devices, as many of them have all sorts of bugs and issues because of the fuzziness of the power management side of the USB spec, devices will simply drop off without warning, and not notify the kernel that they were dropped off properly, so it will try to reassign a new device ID, which trips up our PnP code (we have extensive logic in the Plug and Play plugin to TRY and handle this, but there are still some cases where it fails.)

-Thom

[sedgington]

Thanks for the update.

1. I too have an HD-PVR so it is good to know that it is not just me. I've been looking around on the web and it seems like the best fix is to transcode them from mpeg2 to avi and then they should play. I'll try it ASAP. It is just frustrating to have them mapped inside of the Video tab in LMCE and see a perfect picture but no sound.

However, my TV recordings play perfectly inside of mythTV with the libxine2 install so I'm not sure what you are referring to on that front.

2. I wasn't using a hub but thanks for the cautionary note. It seems like the "lucid" update changed things so that the gc-100 is no longer functional. If I plug the insteon PLM directly into a serial port it works fine.  I'm going to try reinstalling the gc-100 to see if that works.

Another bug that has turned up is the breaking of the DHCP function of LMCE: It will no longer assign IP addresses to devices but works fine if you manually enter an IP address or if the IP address for the device was already in the networking table. This may be a function of my particular machine and network manager being reinstalled by the update. I had to delete network manager to get my machine to work initially, so I will try doing it again and see if it fixes the problem.

I guess the bottom line for me is the question of whether there is any way to "repair" my installation of 8.10. I seem to remember that there was a way in 7.x but I wonder if anyone has tried it with the finished 8.10. Since all my data is on a separate drive I'm wondering if I just go in and reinstall on the LMCE drive if it will be smart enough to figure out where everything is or how much manual labor will be involved in getting it to see everything again.

Also, I'm still wishing there was a way to save all my custom templates.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

[tschak909]

hmm. as for the templates, WHY did you not work with us to bring them into sqlCVS?

-Thom

[sedgington]

I guess I did not know how. I guess thought checking the box to share them somehow automatically brought them into the database. Happy to do it. Is there a link somewhere with the instructions?

[sedgington]

OK, if anyone else has this problem, most of the issues I experienced were from the lucid upgrade knocking out the dhcp server function of LMCE making my GC-100 non functional as well as other devices whose IP lease had expired during the power outage.

The way I fixed it was a bit messy but it may give you an idea of how to go about addressing it on your system should the need arise.
Since I could not restart the dhcp3-server the first thing I tried to do was remove it. Well, this also took out dce-router so that was not so good. I reinstalled dce-router and then tried to reinstall dhcp3-server but got a dependency error that stated that the wrong dhcp3-common file is installed--which is what I suspect the lucid upgrade did. So I removed the dhcp3-common file that was installed and installed the correct one, then reinstalled dhcp3-server. However, the server would not start and gave this error:

Setting up dhcp3-server (3.1.1-1ubuntu2.2) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server ...
dhcpd self-test failed. Please fix the config file.
The error was:
Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server V3.1.1
Copyright 2004-2008 Internet Systems Consortium.
All rights reserved.
For info, please visit http://www.isc.org/sw/dhcp/
Can't open /etc/bind/rndc.key: Permission denied
invoke-rc.d: initscript dhcp3-server, action "start" failed.

So searching the internet, I found this fix:

I have added these two lines to the dhcp3 profile: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.dhcpd3
/etc/bind/ r,
/etc/bind/** r,
After restarting apparmor

/etc/init.d/apparmor restart

I am now able to restart dhcp3 without any errors.

then

/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server restart


Which was true, but somehow eth0 had lost its ability to get an ip meaning I had a functional intranet but no internet. So I changed eth0 settings from DHCP to manual and filled them in, and then rebooted hoping for the best.

So far, so good. I don't know if LMCE recognized all the shenanigans I had pulled and reinstalled the correct files or if this actually worked on its on, but when I do an apt-get upgrade nothing shows up, dhcp is assigning addresses again, gc-100 works and I have learned my lesson to never ever upgrade unless you check it out first.
