Error installing brickd

[JonD]

Hey, I installed brickd  using Raspberry 3 & 4 without problems. Now I use a Raspberry 5 (64bit) and got some errors during installation for the software. Which I solved using: 

1. sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0 libudev1 procps
2. wget https://download.tinkerforge.com/apt/$(. /etc/os-release; echo $ID)/tinkerforge.asc -q -O - | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/tinkerforge.asc > /dev/null
3. echo "deb https://download.tinkerforge.com/apt/$(. /etc/os-release; echo $ID $VERSION_CODENAME) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tinkerforge.list
4. sudo apt update
5. sudo apt install brickd

This results in an error, which can be solved by:  sudo apt --fix-broken install

The installation shows no further errors, but the brickd is not running. In the Logfile is written:

I already flashed the hardware to the newest version.n error occur

Any idea what is wrong?

I cannot reproduce the "sudo apt --fix-broken install" here.

Where did you find that you should install the dependencies (sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0 libudev1 procps) by hand? This is not neccessary. Also libudev1 is not required anymore. There where a few places left that still mentioned libudev1, I updated them now.

Please try this brickd version, this should fix the GPIO problem.

Edit: Attachment deleted. Brick Daemon 2.4.6 has been released. Please install the official release instead.

Thanks for your feedback.

To answer the question, where I found the installation information. I followed the recommendation under:

     https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/Brickd.html

I choose under "Installation" Linux

     https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/Brickd_Install_Linux.html#brickd-install-linux

Then under "APT Repository" I found First, set up our APT repository on your system according to this guide. 

     https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/APT_Repository.html#apt-repository

To solve the problem, first I reinstalled a new blank version for the Raspberry 5/64bit.  The I used your .deb-file with the command:

     sudo apt install ./brickd_2.4.6+snapshot~730b7d7_arm64.deb

It worked I only got an error at the end, here the result:

     N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/media/pi/SCAN/_Tinkerbell/Scripts/RaspBerry BaseInstall Tinker/brickd_2.4.6+snapshot~730b7d7_arm64.deb' couldn't be                  accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

The file /media/pi/SCAN/_Tinkerbell/Scripts/RaspBerry BaseInstall Tinker/brickd_2.4.6+snapshot~730b7d7_arm64.deb' has the rights: -rwxr-xr-x 

But the demon is running and brickv can connect.

Thanks for the help

You've placed the package in a directory that apt can't read as the user _apt (apt usually downloads as a separate user for security purposes) See for example here: https://askubuntu.com/a/908825

Since this does not work as _apt, apt retries "downloading" the package as root.

Hi JonD

Have you been successful in the meantime to install and using brickv?

I have probably the same error.

The original problem has been resolved. Please update to brickd 2.4.6 and HAT Brick firmware 2.0.4.

Dear photron

Great, I just updated brickd using the update-tool of the Raspberry and it works.

Thank you very much for all your work.

Cheers,

Yvo
