Done and done. The upgrade worked great. I'll give it a workout in the
morning.

Thanks again!!

Okay, the config is good, and the kernel is running would be 32bit.
Confirm by running uname -a from command line.   I suspect you are
looking at the reported arch by lms on the information page.  That arch
is actually not real for the runtime, but the arch of the compile
machine that built Perl..even though it was built 32bit.


Ok, that's indeed what I did. But that info can be used by LMS to find 
helper applications. Therefore it would be great if you could "fix" this.

No compelling reason to upgrade, except to help me test a few things.  i
just did 2 b6 to b7 upgrades, so it should be fine.

My build machine is a PI4 4gb running pCP.  will update my Perl build
script to run in a setarch wrapper, so the compiled configuration
properly reflects armhf.  I should have realized the problem, as I just
chased how that is reported on my Ubuntu machine.

No, it's not a static binary for ARM. I had one for a while, but it
recently caused more problems than the dynamically linked version.

Wouldn't there be a way to get the config.txt from the web UI? I didn't
find it...

I updated the OP to clarify.  B1 to B7 upgrade is a whole different
problem.B1 was a very early release, and was thrown together really
quick.   B7 should boot fine on any PI.

I've found one other tweak.  I added this to the startup file, just
before each 'start-stop-daemon...'

Code:


  ulimit -l unlimited
  ulimit -r 50
  



My notes (from some time ago, long forgotten) say:

"Now, because it runs as a daemon, it doesn’t use pam.d limits.  But it
can have a ‘ulimit’ set in the logitechmediaserver start-up, which it
inherits.  So I’ve done that (ulimit -l unlimited).  That allows it to
lock memory.  To get it to set rt priority I had to change the start of
that script from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash.  Then ulimit -r 50 works! 
Now get no warnings on local player"

I hope this now works for you!

I have b1 so I fresh installed that and then did an insitu update to B7.
It wouldn't boot after that and I don't have a screen to see what is
happening. I did find that I have a b5 version so I am running that and
it works fine and gives me what I wanted.

Thanks,

32 bit support has been removed from the Pi4 so it's now only 64bit; in
earlier betas both options were available for the Pi4.

I'm running b7 on a B+, 2B and 3B. I'm not sure there was an update path
from b1 to b7 apart from fresh install.
