Re: Updating glibc on my V3 still fails

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')Thanks for the suggestion. That's in fact one of the variations I did try. To no avail. (Running from an external USB HD. )



my apologies I nixed things up: that was on the iconnect that does not have the oxnas specific firmware. I relaized that last night when I (once again) botched my pogopro and went for a reinstall.

the proper process is actually in a thread in the Raspberry Pi forum (not on first page). it boils down to :

    from a July rootfs remove package pcmciautils
    upgrade ignoring glibc
    move the content (if any) of /lib/firmware, /lib/modules, /lib/udev to the corresponding place in /usr/lib
    remove the (now empty if everything is according to plan) folders /lib/{firmware,modules,udev}
    install the new version of glibc

If this really works, why wouldn't someone just make a script (and test it) while we're waiting for WarheadsSE to build a new rootfs? There are too many people stuck at this that could benefit from a preliminary fix.
Also, while experimenting (off of the current rootfs) with miniDLNA, I ran into some problems described by others in a post here (the "permission denied"). Will there be a fix for that and other issues rolled up in an update?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('campigenus', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Philoo', 'd')on't know about the tarball WHSE was mentionning, but I did a full reinstall (actually 3) with an complete update from the 2012-07 rootfs this week.

systemd is no longer an offender neither the kernel26-oxnas or gmac-copro-firmware, however for some reason pcmciautils is in the way.
what works for me from a fresh rootfs (on a SATA boot) is:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Syu --ignore glibc
pacman -R pcmciautils
pacman -Su')



Thanks for the suggestion. That's in fact one of the variations I did try. To no avail. (Running from an external USB HD. )

I did exactly this on a new plug V4 I installed last week and tried to re-install pcmciautils after and it wouldn't install.

The only question I have is that will the lack of that hurt a reboot, because I see that archboot depends on pcmciautils?

Don't know for sure about the V4's but I deleted pcmciautils off 2 V3's and one V2 and it is no longer in the repository to resinstall. Haven't had a problem including many more updates and reboots. So have many others.

Good - I won't worry about doing a reboot. On my other plug, I did a force and I couldn't recover the system after reboot and had to fix it from another machine. Trying to learn my lesson...

The lesson to learn there is never do a Force unless you KNOW it is appropriate. When in doubt, don't do it.

I learned that one already, the other lesson was not to reboot until you undid anything which got broken...

Except, of course, that sometimes all seems well ... till you reboot. :-(

Am I the only one who is "waiting" for a new tarball that will update without any "workarounds"?

I was able to upgrade both mine (the first with major difficulty), the second cleanly because I hadn't installed much. I would think that installing the current rootfs and immediately upgrading would be just as easy now than waiting for a tarball. Wouldn't you have to re-install everything with a new tarball anyway?

There are many people waiting on that, and everyone who needs to restore a PogoPlug gone bad after the inital install will be on that list since the current image cannot be upgraded.
It''s just that WarheadsSE seems to be the only person working on this, and since no one is paying him to do that, well, it could take a while. And I'd rather he won't rush the new rootfs to avoid having new bugs in there.
Linux is great (free software and all) but it sure has its own issues.
