Installation error on init.d

[bigeyez 10]

Hi

 

I am getting error when I am trying to install emby beta over the release. I am using Debian testing x64 but my system is still init.d I am not on systemd as far as I can tell

 

dpkg -i emby-server-deb_3.3.1.18_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 710799 files and directories currently installed.)

   What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
    Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
      D     : show the differences between the versions
      Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.

So i guess you're probably using our older install package from OBS right?

Hi

 

I am not sure , how do I tell that? I thought I downloaded the deb package (the latest release) from the download page.

 

 

I have a working emby-server 3.3.1.0+68.2 version, I just wanted to try the latest beta.

Can you attach a startup server log from your stable install? thanks.

Ok yes that's our old install package. Switching to our newer one is recommended but will require a complete uninstallation and purge. And in your case it looks like you will also need systemd.

[bigeyez 10]

Do you also mean purging the database etc too? OR do you mean just the install files?

Purge as in the uninstall purge command, and yes that will wipe that folder i'm pretty sure. However, if you want to try just installing the new package you can. Depending on the age of your old installation it might just work. But it also might cause some problems so you may want to back up the program data directory.

Can I just use instead Emby.Mono.zip if I do not care about setting it up a a service?

[Luke 42078]

No, but you could use our netcore zip however we don't really have a process documented for you to do that, so you're going to end up with a lot of trial and error.
