biggus@MediaCentre:~$ sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:adamsutton/tvheadend-beta


Cannot access PPA (https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~adamsutto...adend-beta) to get PPA information, please check your internet connection.


I get the above error when I'm trying to remove the PPA

.. it most cases it's enough to enter /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and remove the entries for the ppa (the way I do it; only with stuff like xserver you should better use ppa-purge) ..

to get tvheadend 3.4 you have to add the new repository as described here

https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend...Repository

after deleting the old files and do an apt-get update and upgrade ..

Hi,

I managed to remove the PPA from the .list directory so I'm not getting an error but when I try do the following, the update works in the normal way but when I check HTS it still states I'm on 3.3.521

Code:

curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

Code:

sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/beta

Code:

sudo apt-get update

[LastCoder]

think you forgot to upgrade

apt-get update only updates repository file lists -- apt-get upgrade does the real update .. while upgrading you see that HTS now comes from the new repository ..

I'm only a newbie so please excuse my "stupid" mistakes, but its the only way I can learn.

Am I right in thinking the below will get my onto the latest version?

Code:

curl http://apt.tvheadend.org/repo.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-add-repository http://apt.tvheadend.org/beta

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

[mrpg]

Yes, that will get you the latest beta version (could be unstable)

V 3.4 was just recently release in the http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable repository

apt-get upgrade is enough; dist-upgrade will do a little bit more ...

Sorted all upgraded to 3.4 now and removed the old PPA. however fastforward and rewind still don't work, however pausing is brilliant :-)

[remco9999]

Not meaning to hijack the OP's post, but. I removed the old ppa's from the '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' folder, did the steps of adding the new ppa and updating/upgrading. However on update its giving me:

Failed to fetch http://apt.tvheadend.org/beta/dists/natt...ce/Sources 404 Not Found

Which is correct, there is nothing there. But why would it try to go there?

And ofcourse nothing gets updated.

Help is very much appriciated!

Are you running 11.04?

[remco9999]

Yes i'm running 11.04, is that bad :-)

[LastCoder]

precompiled packages - especially if spread over repositories - are often build for special distributions / versions 'cause of dependencies .. in your case ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" doesn't seem to be supported by the tvheadend repo

http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable/dists/

I prefer ubuntu's LTS distributions 'since in most cases they are supported for a long time even by third party repos ..

in your case you have to do a upgrade to a newer ubuntu version or to compile tvheadend by yourself ..

Well i upgraded to 12.10. Tha got rid of the errors. But it seems i am stuck at 3.something. I deleted the old ppa's but something may be in a different location than it should. I was runing the original from lonelycoders before moving to Adams version.

Well i'll sort it out. Thanks for the help

Well i'm not having much luck. It shows its updating, seeing the correct version being downloaded and installed, however the about box still tells me its on HTS Tvheadend 3.3.392~g2dcbc36.

Should the about page not show a a newer version?

The server is running tvheadend from the Andreas Öman version. Is this located somewhere and getting started in stead of the newer version?

I know i did something to start it up (init.r something) but i'm a windows person (sorry), and I'm having a hard time (lots of time) finding my way around ls-ing and catting.

So If somebody would be so kind to help me out, any help is very welcome.

Regards,

Remco

Ok, reinstalled the entire server with 12.04 lts ubuntu. Everything working now and now i finally see the about => 3.4~precise version.

Now lets see if the muxes get detected, but that seems to be another problem, not for this thread.
