Topic 209334

Hello, I've been running E@H for 1 month on my headless raspberry pi3 and raspbian Jessie.

I upgraded Raspbian to Raspbian Stretch wich was realeased few days ago.

Since, I'm not able anymore to run any tasks. 

I first tried to update the project and then to reset.

It seems like the application is no longer available. 

Is there a reason for that?

 

Thanks.

It seems that our app is too

It seems that our app is too old for Raspbian stretch. We usually compile with an older version of glibc to provide a widely compatible app. From time to time it happens that those older versions are not compatible with newer ones and we have to recompile the applications. It seems we are at this point again.

Hmmm...we had a similar Problem some time ago with Raspis running under Ubuntu,

 

https://einsteinathome.org/content/glibcprivate-not-defined-file-libcso6

 

and we had a beta app that seemed to have solved the problem for Ubuntu users. Before we try something else:  you could enable beta applications in your E@H web preferences and then with the next update the Raspi  should fetch the beta app for BRP ,and we can see whether that app runs under stretch. 

Cheers

I have upgraded 5 of mine so far. The 1.47 beta app works fine on them. Log into the e@h web site and change your account prefs to run beta or test apps.

 

@Christian, Given the 1.47 app has been in beta testing for quite some time perhaps it should become the "stock" app and the old one removed.

We could do that, but I think

We could do that, but I think we only had a BETA for the NEON app version. We would still need to build a new version for Raspi's without NEON.

Are there Pi's without neon?

Are there Pi's without neon? Joking. Are there enough to justify recompiling and testing a new armv6 app?

I can confirm that running

I can confirm that running the beta app i.e 1.47 is working like a charm!

Thanks guys!

As for non-NEON, there are Pi

As for non-NEON, there are Pi Zeros being sold right now, so it's not just a legacy thing. But given time constraints (there is a huge conference for the LIGO/VIRGO collaboration next week), I'm not sure I or anyone else finds the time in the next few days to solve this for non-NEON "Stretch" Pis.
