Upgrading from v5 to v6 on Linux

[mvallevand]

Well at least it is consistent, what about

dotnet --list-runtimes

pi@NextPVRSVR:~ $ dotnet --list-runtimes
bash: dotnet: command not found

Does running the installer that the deb file give you anything other the message that it is installed?

/tmp/dotnet-install.sh -c 6.0 --runtime aspnetcore -InstallDir /opt/dotnet

If not what do you see with

ls /opt/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/
and
ls /opt/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/

I am assuming you have plenty of space on your root folder.

Same - trying the other now...

pi@NextPVRSVR:~ $ /tmp/dotnet-install.sh -c 6.0 --runtime aspnetcore -InstallDir /opt/dotnet
dotnet-install: Note that the intended use of this script is for Continuous Integration (CI) scenarios, where:
dotnet-install: - The SDK needs to be installed without user interaction and without admin rights.
dotnet-install: - The SDK installation doesn't need to persist across multiple CI runs.
dotnet-install: To set up a development environment or to run apps, use installers rather than this script. Visit https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download to get the installer.

dotnet-install: ASP.NET Core Runtime with version '6.0.16' is already installed.

Yes, I have lots of free space (90% free)

pi@NextPVRSVR:~ $ ls /opt/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/
3.1.22 3.1.24 3.1.26 6.0.16
pi@NextPVRSVR:~ $ ls /opt/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/
3.1.22 3.1.24 3.1.26 6.0.16

Something is corrupt since /opt/dotnet/dotnet was needed for those 3.1 files in v5

Let's clean them all out

rm -r /opt/dotnet

and then run the nextpvr dpkg update again.

When I try to delete it is asking to remove a write-protected file - when I say yes it says permission denied...

rm: descend into write-protected directory '/opt/dotnet'? y
rm: remove write-protected regular file '/opt/dotnet/dotnet'? y
rm: cannot remove '/opt/dotnet/dotnet': Permission denied

[ryspencer]

rm: descend into write-protected directory '/opt/dotnet/shared'? y
rm: descend into write-protected directory '/opt/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App'? y
rm: descend into write-protected directory '/opt/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/3.1.22'? y
rm: remove write-protected regular file '/opt/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/3.1.22/Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Protocols.Json.dll'? y
rm: cannot remove '/opt/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App/3.1.22/Microsoft.AspNetCore.SignalR.Protocols.Json.dll': Permission denied

[ryspencer]

ok - I got them all removed. Can you tell me the exact install command to use so I don't screw it up?

[mvallevand]

Sorry that would be

sudo rm -r /opt/dotnet

I posted how to run dpkg more than once on this thread and it is on the wiki too.
