Release notes for Bubba 2 software version 2.0.5
This is a new minor upgrade. The upgrade is available only as a software upgrade and not as an install image.

How to upgrade
To upgrade a running system, make sure you don't have any activities running such as uploads, downloads, print jobs etc. Then log in as admin in web-ui. Choose "Settings" menu entry. Choose "Software update" in the sub menu. Press the "Update system" button.

Since the update service depends on root access to the MySQL database, if you have changed the default password the update will fail. If it has been changed, run the update from the command line. Default options should be ok, but you need to provide your MySQL root password.

Install
To (re)install a system please read the manual, section "INSTALLING & REINSTALLING SOFTWARE".

New features and major changes
Squeezebox server updated to 7.5.4.

Thanks for the update, I've already installed it and it is working fine Great!

Yep! For me it failed with "ParseError" when I tried to upgrade the system via web-ui. Apt-get upgrade -command upgraded bubba and squeezecenter.

Actually.. I guess the parse error comes from somewhere else..

Hi,

I tried the following

But when I press the button the following error appears



and then things just revert back to showing the "Update system" button again.

Does anyone have any good ideas? (I can ssh into the machine and print some stuff if you need me to)

[johannes]

This is a normal message wih a bit too agressive font, if you just wait this message should dissapear. Doesnt it?

[MagnusJonsson]

I was shown a progress bar that never (well anyway after 25 minutes) hadn't changed value from 0%.
Then I pressed F5 and was shown the regular first "Update system" button again.

Should I have waited even longer ?

[RandomUsername]

O/T but wow! That screen shot is a blast from the past

[MagnusJonsson]

Okay, I do admit that it was quite awhile since I updated the last time. The reason is that the last time I did update (well over a century ago ) the update did not progress too smoothly. The nice guys at Excito told me that the reason for this was that I had one of the first B2 units shipped and that software had a few flaws... (They really helped me out that time in a very nice way)

Anyway I was back on track again and since then I've seen no reason to update until I today purchased a Squeezebox Radio and it wanted me to update the Squeeze server Sw.....

[RandomUsername]

Anyway, have you tired

Code: Select all

aptitude upgrade 

or

Code: Select all

aptitude dist-upgrade 

from the command line?

[RandomUsername]

Or "tried" even. Why can't I edit my post

[johannes]

Yes, that old black system had a few bugs in the updater. One of them was showing 0% ready when the update had finished. But since you are still on the black system, the update obviously failed.

I suggest you try (if you don't mind some command-line-work) what RandomUsername suggested, and if it doesn't help, you can always send it to us and we'll do the upadte manually and get you a working fresh system. A third option is to let us in to your unit for a manual upgrade (email us ssh access).

[MagnusJonsson]

Anyway, have you tired....

No, I have not...

So I tried

Code: Select all

aptitude upgrade

and tons of things happened with only one error

Code: Select all

dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/bubba-album.conf
dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password
Replacing config file /etc/album/debian-db.php with new version
apache2: Syntax error on line 192 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/ports.conf: No such file or directory
 failed
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action "reload" failed.
dpkg: error processing bubba-album (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Setting up libkrb53 (1.4.4-7etch8) ...

and one warning

Code: Select all

Not starting S.M.A.R.T. daemon smartd, disabled via /etc/default/smartmontools (warning).

so final messages were

Code: Select all

Errors were encountered while processing:
 bubba-album
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
Setting up bubba-album (2.0.0.4) ...
dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/bubba-album.conf
dbconfig-common: flushing administrative password
Replacing config file /etc/album/debian-db.php with new version
Reloading web server config: apache2

So trying to see what I got

Code: Select all

magnus@bubba:~$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.32.13 (tor@tor-desktop) (gcc version 4.3.4 (crosstool-NG-1.5.1) ) #1 Tue May 25 12:01:56 CEST 2010

magnus@bubba:~$ uname -a
Linux bubba 2.6.32.13 #1 Tue May 25 12:01:56 CEST 2010 ppc GNU/Linux

All in alla I assume is a good response.... However I can not access the webgui (webserver down ?) anymore.
I even tried to reboot, but that did not help, the web server still seems unavailable.

A third option is to let us in to your unit for a manual upgrade (email us ssh access).

I will do some more troubleshooting, but otherwise I might just use this option.

Thanks both for your help!

[Eek]

Yes, your Apache webserver is down

apache2: Syntax error on line 192 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/ports.conf: No such file or directory failed

This is what I have in the /etc/apache2 directory
