G'day all,

I am trying to update from 8.0 and I get:

Code:
[root@mythtv etc]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace dbus-core with core/dbus? [Y/n] n
:: Replace grub-bios with core/grub? [Y/n] n
:: Replace grub-common with core/grub? [Y/n] n
:: Replace libltdl with core/libtool? [Y/n] n
:: Replace libsoup-gnome with extra/libsoup? [Y/n] n
:: Replace libusbx with core/libusb? [Y/n] n
:: Replace libwebkit with extra/webkitgtk2? [Y/n] n
:: Replace lirc-utils with core/lirc? [Y/n] n
:: Replace nss-myhostname with core/systemd? [Y/n] n
:: Replace pyopenssl with core/python2-pyopenssl? [Y/n] n
:: Replace python-pexpect with core/python2-pexpect? [Y/n] ^C



I don't really know arch pacman update stuff so unsure if I should answer yes or no.

Suggestions?

Because of the changes in R8.2 (http://linhes.org/versions/show/27) you can't just do a pacman -Syu. To go from R8.0 to current (R8.5.1 right now) the best bet is to backup and do an ISO upgrade. See http://linhes.org/versions/show/30

You would have to do the ISO method for that too as the R8.1 repos are not available anymore.

You may want to consider a partial restore or upgrading through a virtual machine.
Both are documented here viewtopic.php?f=24&t=23938&p=138291
good luck

Thanks, I have just had to do a partial restore from a broken root HD when I upgraded to 8.

My whole mythtv experience is bad right now and I am not sure what is wrong, keeps crashing locking up etc, this was before 8.
It might be MB is going bad, but upgrading that means buying new tuners as I only have 4 pci cards and pci slots are getting hard to find.

Did not go well....

I now have
Unable to start child: /etc/runit/1 file does not exist

or 2 or 3 :-(

Have to do a bit of digging. Seems to be the correct partition. Just off to boot with a live CD.

I tried again and it did the same thing, there is no 1, 2 or 3 in /etc/runit.

I will try 8.2

I was running 8.0

8.1 failed as above
and 8.2 fails saying the disk is pre 8.0

so that sucks....

Does anybody know how the install works or where I can start unpicking the scripts?

It also takes ages to upgrade when doing 8.1, like 40 minutes.

I can;t find any logging, all in all... very unsatisfactory... :-(

Both issues make me think that your /etc directory got corrupted. You can see if there is an etc.old dir and restore. Your quickest option might be doing a clean install and restoring the backup.

How would I do clean install and restore, is that same as when I went from 7 to 8, using the web page and doing partial (was mentioned above)

I do have a etc.old and I do have an LH backup, as well as a copy of / (excluding media files) from before the upgrade

The message I get now is...

The selected disk cannot be upgraded because it is older than LinHES R8.0

When I look at sda1 I can see /etc/LinHES-release is R8.2

I also have /etc/runit/1 and friends, which I did not have before...

So I rebooted and now I get

error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found
Entering rescue mode...
grub rescue>

Using the ISO, I have mounted /dev/sda1 and whilst things look good, my /etc/fstab is empty :-( so that sucks...

and I don't have an etc.old, I did at one point but not now.

and /boot on sda1 seems devoid of useful things like vmlinuz

Do an install and select the drive and it will erase the whole drive. So make sure any media at sdX7 is saved and the backups are not on that drive.

Since you have to do a clean install I would recommend going to the latest available, R8.5.1.

A partial restore shouldn't be needed since you were on R8 already but it wouldn't hurt.

Since I had a copy of sda1 on another server (I always rsync it off) I rsync'd it over the top and then upgraded to 8.2
That seemed to work, I need to test fully, but I think I am running 8.2 successfully.
I can watch stuff, no audio at the moment though.

There are few error messages thrown out, 1 at grub that is too quick to catch will try to record it and see what it says.

So I can play back fine, but the timezone is incorrect to recordings are all out, why did it not keep that?

[I removed the part about mythtv-setup, I was connecting to the wrong backend]
