Updating PadOrbiter manually (0810)
For those testing the upcoming 0810 release, you may wish to updae youre padorbiter with the latest and greatest. This will detail how to do that.
- First, you must set up a builder to build a recent version of LinuxMCE-0810 (or have access to those binaries)
- Next, since padOrbiter doesn't come with scp installed, you will need a webserver from which you will download the new files from (Luckily, LinuxMCE has a webserver already installed)
- I will assume that you will be using the webserver on your core. ssh to you core.
- perform the following:
sudo mkdir /var/www/download
Orbiter must be specially build for padOrbiter. From your sources (/var/www/lmce-build/svn/branches/LinuxMCE-0810/src/Orbiter if you are using a 0810 builder)
make clean make -f Makefile_padorbiter all strip Orbiter strip libDCECommon.so strip libPlutoUtils.so strip libSDL_Helpers.so strip libSerializeClass.so
Place the following new binaries from 0810 into /var/www/download on your core:
Orbiter libDCECommon.so libPlutoUtils.so libSDL_Helpers.so libSerializeClass.so
Next, you will have to ssh into a running padorbiter (you will need to know the IP address)
ssh root@<padorbiter_ip_address>
Password is root
cd /usr/pluto/bin rm Orbiter wget http://192.168.80.1/download/Orbiter chmod 755 Orbiter
cd /usr/pluto/lib rm * wget http://192.168.80.1/download/libDCECommon.so wget http://192.168.80.1/download/libPlutoUtils.so wget http://192.168.80.1/download/libSDL_Helpers.so wget http://192.168.80.1/download/libSerializeClass.so chmod 755 *
Because of the very limited memory of the padOrbiter, you may find that during any of these steps, you will get an error that the padorbiter is out of memory, and couldn't complete one of the downloads. You can free up some space by doing the commands below, and re-attempting the download:
cd /temp/cache rm -r *
Once you are finished, reboot your padorbiter and all should be well!
