While debugging I've tried switching over to Fedora 8 which shows the same problems I've been having with the other configs I've tried so I attempted to upgrade to SC 7.2 but the firmware update would not apply.
The firmware update appears to get stuck in an infinite loop. First of all the controller did not update and showed lots of messages about Jive versions in the server.log after I turned on player firmware debug logging: Slim::Utils::Firmware::jive_needs_upgrade (309) Jive needs upgrade! (has: 7.1 r2722, needs: 7.2 2826 The controller was showing an "Upgrading Receiver Firmware" type message but I hit the back button which allowed me to upgrade the controller software. This seemed to proceed without fault once I had selected the option manually on the controller. All the time this is going on the receiver is still looping over firmware updates but I now see in the logs "Jive doesn't need an upgrade (has: 7.2 r2826, server has: 7.2 2826)" Then lots of receiver v. 36 requires upgrade to 45 Then it transfers the firmware and finished with Updating firmware: 589824 / 589824 Then I get Firmware updated successfully. Then Reading firmware version file: /usr/share/squeezecenter/Firmware/receiver.version >From where it loops back round to receiver v. 36 requires upgrade to 45 The light sequence on the Receiver cycles through various colors as the update attempt proceeds: solid white red yellow green blue white blinking (approx 1 minute) finishes with 2 very quick flashes blinking purple (4 blinks) This was the original problem I opened my support request for when firmware updates have previously failed. I've copied the support page for public viewing as it contains a lot of detailed information about the problem: http://www.grahamandbeth.plus.com/SqueezeProblem.html -- graham_alton ------------------------------------------------------------------------ graham_alton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15218 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50970 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
