.deb installer problem

[snagglewest]

Martin,

I tried the .deb installer a few times this morning but it's having issues. I started with a clean install of Unbutu 18.04 server in a Freenas VM. I first ran the installer as you noted in the thread. It appeared to install correctly but i was unable to pull up the web page and running the status command give me the below output. A reboot of the VM didn't help so I installed .NET first using these directions. Still no joy.

Next I rolled back to a fresh VM and installed .NET first using these directions and ran the .deb installer again. Still no joy... It appears NPVR is running, but I can't get to the web page with a connection refused. I'm guessing it's something to do with the web server but I got no idea were to start. I'm for all purposes a linux noob, but I am comfortable with the cli,

Any ideas?

Code:

nextpvr@nextpvr:~$ service nextpvr-server status
● nextpvr-server.service - NextPVRServer
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nextpvr-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Once you modify anything in the .deb it becomes a manual install and I can't help. I suggest running

sudo apt remove nextpvr-helper and install again with

sudo apt install ./nextpvr-helper 2&> somefile.txt

and send us somefile.txt.

I would like to see the output from

/opt/dotnet/dotnet -info.

Note I did privately pass you a .deb file which is not compatible with this version so if you tried that all bets are off.

I never did try the file you gave me, work got in the way. This is a new clean Ubuntu 18.04 server in a VM, The only thing I did was install Ubuntu and update the packages before I tried to install the .deb,

The command line you gave didn't work, Here's the output of somefile.txt

Code:

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

Reading package lists...
E: Unsupported file ./nextpvr-helper given on commandline

Right it need the .deb extension from the downloaded file.

There likely is an issue with depencies

Martin

[snagglewest]

yea, missed that. Didn't get much further with the .deb extension though. It runs without the "somefile.txt" and appears to be installing but no joy.

Code:

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
E: Unable to locate package 2

Heres the output for /opt/dotnet/dotnet -info. if I run the .deb without the "somefile.txt"

Code:

npvr@npvr:/opt/dotnet$  /opt/dotnet/dotnet -info.

As I mentioned in another post, I did try and install .net but that didn't help out.

Hmm you are sure that nextpvr-helper.deb does exist in the folder you are running from and you included the ./

I was wrong on -info it is --info.

Martin

[snagglewest]

--info. gave the same output.

Code:

npvr@npvr:/opt/dotnet$  /opt/dotnet/dotnet --info.

Yes, the file exists and it installs as I can see the code scrolling by while it runs. I run "sudo apt install ./nextpvr-helper.deb" which is just a cut and paste from your post.

[mvallevand]

Does the alternate sudo dpkg -i nextpvr-helper followed by
sudo apt -f install
and
sudo service nextpvr-server start

Work?


You might try

sudo update
sudo upgrade

Just in case the apt needs a update

Martin

[snagglewest]

No joy...

Here's a log of the install.

Ok there is no . after info

/opt/dotnet/dotnet --info

but I do see another dependency on your install

unzip: not found

So try

sudo apt install unzip
