Updating from 2016 version with tarball

Hi there,

In the Lakka 2.0 announcement you’re stating

Advanced users can also attempt a manual upgrade by placing the TAR in the Update folder.

I did exactly this and rebooted. However - after reboot it’s still the “old” lakka and the tar is just deleted. Is there andything I’m missing?

I’d really prefer not to reflash as I have tons of roms on my card I would need to backup and restore…

Cheers Andreas

I upgraded this way on my Raspberry Pi 3 and it works. What device are you using?

I also upgraded on a RasPi3 following the instructions here: http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Upgrading-Lakka/

The upgrade went fine. The only problem I had was that I lost sound output…

I’m on an XU4. Maybe it’s due to that.

The only problem I had was that I lost sound output…

On a PC open Lakka-RPi2.arm-2.0.tar, navigate to 3rdparty/bootloader/ and copy config.txt + distroconfig.txt to your SD Card’s boot partition (replace the existing ones).

I tried doing that, no luck. Before that I tried forcing only “hdmi_drive=2” @ config.txt, without luck as well.

when I type “aplay -L” at the command line, there’s no driver listed. Weird thing is, it’s on a triple boot memory card, and the other partitions (Raspbian and OSMC) have normal sound.

I will give up partitioning and try a fresh install (sad, I had network roms and saves set and everything).

Yeah I had a similar issue with upgrading to the new version (rc5 at the time) using the tarball method. I ended up with functional emulators but no sound with the same lack of audio drivers as you did. I ended up just getting a bigger SD card and reinstalling with the up to date version. Something about the tar file messed things up. Apparently nobody paid my problem any notice and just pushed RC5 as is to be the new version in the tar file or there is something very different between 2016 version and the Libreelec version we use now in terms of audio driver.
