NextPVR on Ubuntu 22.04

[adwsail]

Having major issue  trying a new install via the *.deb file. The server status indicates it is running but nothing on x.x.x.x:8866, 127.0.0.1:8866 or localhost:8866. I have been using NPVR for many years now running under Elementary OS v6 but it cannot be upgraded now without a clean install so Ive switched to a more user friendly distro but I need my Nextpvr. Any ideas, suggestions?

I run no problems on 22.0.4 but of course that can be on many platforms. Perhaps stop and start the service and manually zip up the logs and post them.

There are no logs or anything else in /opt/nextpvr/ other than the folders shell, with 3 scripts, and system with nothing in it. There is a nextpvr-helper file, not a deb, but nothing else so where might I find some logs?

[mvallevand]

Right the logs would be in /var/opt/nextpvr/logs

The wiki explains all of this.

There is nothing in /var/opt/nextpvr.

Then the install failed maybe dotnet didn't download. Try

sudo rm /tmp/dotnet-install.sh
sudo dpkg -i nextpvr-helper.deb

rm /tmp/dotnet-install.sh resulted in file not found. So Im purging the install using the wiki directions and rerunning
sxxx apt install ./nextpvr-helper.deb --install-recommends

[adwsail]

Sorry, Im re-running sudo dpkg -i nextpvr-helper.deb

[adwsail]

still no logs that I can find. running suxx service nextpvr-server status shows:

Yes you can see dotnet is not installing

Aug 29 09:49:48 aabacus server.sh[19464]: /opt/nextpvr/shell/server.sh: line 27: /opt/dotnet/dotnet: No such file or directory

Is there are /tmp/dotnet-install.sh file this time?

Also what does uname -m show?
