NextPVR on Ubuntu 22.04

[adwsail]

Im guessing its a dotnet issue but no idea what i need to do to fix it. It is ver 7and im assuming it is backward compatible with 6.

Answer my two questions first to start. The deb file installs the required version.

Martin

[adwsail]

There is no dotnet in /tmp.
uname -m = x86_64

[mvallevand]

I am not looking for dotnet just the script that installs it.

When you run

sudo dpkg -i nextpvr-helper.deb

do you see any errors. Maybe curl is not installed?

Martin

[adwsail]

There are no *.sh files in /tmp. I even checked other tmp folders and again no scripts. Running

sudo dpkg -i nextpvr-helper.deb

So curl is not downloading to /tmp there should be two files the file size shows correctly.

/tmp/NPVR.zip and /tmp/dotnet-install.sh

Does sudo ls > /tmp/adwsail.txt

create a file?

Martin

[adwsail]

Yes it does creat the appropriatetxt file. I have tried copying NPVR.zip to the /tmp folder but it wont stay there. Does the *.deb file delete the *.zip file in /tmp when it finishes running?

[mvallevand]

The two files are not deleted immediately by the installer but they will be on reboot, that is a feature of using /tmp

Does this work to create a file (this is what the deb file does.

Code:

sudo curl -L https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/scripts/v1/dotnet-install.sh -o /tmp/dotnet-install.sh

Martin

[adwsail]

Yes!!!!

[mvallevand]

But that won't help, the installer has to do it.
