[arm-allstar] Allstar Update

[Fred Hillhouse]

I worked with getting a system started before the holidays and then set it down as they got busier. I decided to restart this last weekend since I forgot where I left it (and my password).

After getting to the admin screen, I tried the update but I got a string of errors. I didn’t grab a picture or write them down so I will attempt to do that tonight if it is useful.

 

I am using SSH but is there a way to confirm a connection to the internet?

 

Best regards,

Fred N7FMH

Alan,

 Assuming you are using the hamvoip.org V1.5 code updates are performed from the Admin menu. This is the menu you get when you login to your system using ssh (putty, winscp) or a monitor and keyboard. Item 1 on the menu checks for updates and performs them if they exist. This process is also done at the start of setup when installing a new systems. It is NOT automatic and requires a user to actually periodically perform then update at the menu. There have been 75+ updates since the release of V1.5 in January 2017. Updates are from the hamvoip repository and have greatly improved the 1.5 codebase. You won't find you have to recompile something after you do an update. The repository not only includes Allstar code but the entire array of ArchLinux packages and the kernel so the entire process is tightly controlled giving the users peace of mind that everything works. Users can download any additional packages from the hamvoip repository using the pacman commands.

Hi guys

 

I have read recently a thread which mentions updating Allstar. I was of the impression that the system auto updated by itself. However from what I have read this does not seem to be the case.

 

Assuming then that I need to manually update could someone please advise how to do this.

 

thanks in advance
