Snakeoil Firmware - 1.1.8 (Blind Testing Update 8)

[davem]

Hi,

I just got around to doing the latest fw patch and it errors out;

----
SHA1SUM: 


*** ERROR *** Uploaded file missing, upload aborted?
*** ERROR *** Uploaded file missing, upload aborted?

-----
Nothing at all shows in the console. I looked at the files in /var/log that were modified and the only thing that I could find was in kern.log with the following 2 lines of errors;

Dec 11 23:27:59 NUC kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0: Direct firmware load for rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw failed with error -2
Dec 11 23:27:59 NUC kernel: r8169 0000:03:00.0 eth0: unable to load firmware patch rtl_nic/rtl8168g-2.fw (-2)

I am using the x86_64.fw file. For kicks I tried the i686 file but got the same result.

Any suggestions ?

[Edit] Since the last fw release, I also ran the update to bring the system up to Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS. Not sure if that is relevant....

I'm guessing the php upload limit was restored to the default miniscule size. You can either modify the php.ini files directly (modify both cgi and cli), aor you can try the sideload method which will also work.

Hmm. Although un-related, seems your card needs a fix... Can you SSH into your system, and run

Code:

sudo apt install linux-firmware

Then reboot the computer. These two messages should go away.

Yes it should be this. Did you do this from the WebApp or from the SSH console? I'm having successes and failures whenever I tried this from the WebApp, and still working out why it'll suceeed, or fail (AFAICT, it's completely random!).

Thanks AK,

I ran that command but got some errors. I rebooted anyway and the messages disappeared from startup so I guess that it still worked.

I did the upgrade via SSH that I saw in a post in one of the threads...

Hmm. Not working after a reboot? Did you enable file sharing or SSH? If yes, can side load the firmware by doing this: https://www.snakeoil-os.net/wiki/Advance...l-firmware

The above usually fixes all the problems.

Anyone else having trouble with upnp?

I tried a fresh install (twice) and updated straight to 1.1.8, installed upmpdcli, and it shows up on Bubbleupnp but doesn't allow it to play. I then did another install and updated to 1.1.7 and all worked fine. Then, updated to 1.1.8 and no dice. Went back to 1.1.7 and it worked again.

Weird because the install looked fine and UpMpd shows up in Bubbleupnp but when I select a song it doesn't play. It doesn't even "process" the song, just a blank screen.

Not sure if anyone else tried this?
This is on a Rpi3b+ BTW.

I am on 1.1.7, using UPnP on Intel NUC and controlling with BubbleUPnP on tablet.  Not using upmpdcli.  I am reluctant to upgrade because I do not have the time at the moment to troubleshoot and re-install.

Yes, I have everything activated, my problem was to activate exfat, which I did through the console.
In the console it does recognize me, but in the program it still does not recognize the USB hard drive formatted in exfat.
I have tried to format it on both mac and windows, I have changed ports, I have changed it from USB 2.0 to 3.0 and nothing ...

I'm away at the moment, with little to no Internet access at the moment. Sorry for the late reply.

With UPNP, is the audio device set up? Try to set up MPD 21.6 first. Make sure MPD loads, then change the player to bubble and upmdcli. That should fix it.
This will be fixed in the next update (hopefully).

As for exfat, did the web app return any error messages?
