Hi there,

I recently installed VB0.9 on my server (clean install). I read about an update today regarding the burning of flac files to CD. I decided this could be handy so i tried to get this update.

I logged in using Putty, typed 'yum update' and all that happened was the following:

[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# yum update

Complete!

When i tried flac2cd.sh i didn't work. That was to be expected i think,

since the above didn't show anything regarding vortexbox or flac etc.

Also when trying the update using the webGUI nothing further was updated.

What am i doing wrong?

(ps : i also tried 'yum clean all'…no succes)

(pps : could it be that I lack some repository?

[vortexbox.localdomain yum.repos.d]# ls
atrpms.repo  fedora-rawhide.repo  fedora.repo  fedora-updates.repo  fedora-updates-testing.repo

The above are all the repo's i have in that directory. I'm quite a Linux-noob so any assistance is very welcome.)

I  get:

[vortexbox.localdomain yum.repos.d]# rpm -qa | grep vortexbox-0.9
vortexbox-0.9-8.i586

and:

[vortexbox.localdomain ~]# flac2cd.sh
-bash: flac2cd.sh: command not found

As you may have seen in my first post, the vortexbox RPM package is not beiing updated, and i don't seem to have a specific vortexbox repo…

I tried  and let it reboot. This is what it said

10/23/2009 00:49:14 - Starting upgrade. (This can take a long time...)Setting up Update ProcessNo Packages marked for Update10/23/2009 00:49:14 - Upgrade complete. Please reboot your VortexBox.

When i do: rpm -qa | grep vortexbox-0.9 it still gives me:

[vortexbox.localdomain ~]#  rpm -qa | grep vortexbox-0.9
vortexbox-0.9-8.i586

in a different thread i saw you posted the following info:

wget http://yum.vortexbox.org/relea…..5.i586.rpm

wget http://yum.vortexbox.org/relea…..noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh vortexbox-0.9-5.i586.rpm vb-GUI-0.6-5.noarch.rpm

Should i try to run the above mentioned wget command but with the vortexbox-0.9-10.i586.rpm ?

I did yum update (on VB appliance) also.  Now My Music (on Squeezebox) no longer exists.  (Files seem to be there though as seen by my PC.  Help!

My entries under Favorites are gone too.

I tried that first (the 2 lines starting with cp).  The yum update gave an error.  I  ran yum update again.  It did not error the second time.  However the cp /tmp/…/squeezeboxserver/ said it did nothing (error). ran yum update again.  It said there was nothing to do.

Did reboot anyway.  And here we are.

I do believe the music is still on my hard drive.  But Squeezebox server ()http://192.168.1.9:9000/) only shows Internet Radio, Favorites, and Extras.

——————————

Discovered that Server Settings — Basic settings were all blank.  Seems like several paths should go here.  What are they?  Did I lose ALL the default settings?

Hi Andrew,

Looking at the previous posts, it appears risky to do an update to get SqueezeCenter Server v 7.4.1.

Thanks to PvdV and philg for going first and reporting the risks.

Please recommend detailed steps, suitable for Linux noobs like me, to take to ensure a successful Appliance update without the requirement to perform the troubleshooting tasks listed above.

Andrew,

Please recommend the steps or commands to upgrade from SqueezeBox Server 7.4 to 7.4.1.

Thanks

Update:

I issued the yum update from a remote session and everything went smoothly. 

I added a reboot command when the process was complete.

I had changed my music file to "storage/music".  That location was preserved.

My favorites were aslo perserved.

Thanks for the handholding.
