Installer hangs over telnet

[mattyj]

I’ve installed Firefly successfully onto my unslung NSLU2. This was the stable version. However, most of my music is FLAC so I now want to get to the nightly version. I’ve followed the instructions on the wiki, and when I’ve got to the stage where I type in “ipkg install mt-daapd”, I’m returned the information:

Upgrading mt-daapd on root from 0.2.4.2-1 to svn-1586-1…
Downloading http://ipkg.fireflymediaserver.org/armeb/mt-daapd_svn-1586-1_armeb.ipk

…at which point nothing happens for a good while. When I installed the stable it was a lot quicker than this, I get the feeling its hanging. I’ve tried a couple of times and its doing something as when I try to edit the conf file its blank, and I can’t start the process. I’ve also tried directly accessing the above url and its successful, so the server is obviously up.

What can I do? I’m a bit of a linux newbie but I’m learning. This has me stumped though.

So what if the installer hangs – did it actually install the nightly version?
You should be able to discern by the different looks of the web-interface….

Anywho, I guess you should shut-down mt-daapd before you upgrade it to the svn version.

This can be acheived by:

killall mt-daapd
