Installation Problems on Raspberry Pi 4

Post by Rmartin67 »

Hi,

I recently purchased a raspberry pi 4 which I wanted to allocate specifically to folding@home.
After downloading fahclient_7.6.21_arm64.deb, a box comes up saying: "Failed to install file: One of the selected packages failed to install properly. More information is avaiulable in the detailed report."
I am new to raspberry pi/linux and any help you can provide is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Welcome to the F@H Forum Rmartin67,

Do you know what the OS and version you were running? Alternatively, did you download the latest OS version from here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/operating-systems/

While I am not an expert in Linux, I do know that the newer versions of Linux have some issues around Python 2 dependencies. However, you seem to be having an issue with FAHClient, not FAHControl which is weird.

Exact words on error message: Failed to install file: One of the selected packages failed to install correctly. More information is available on the detailed report.
Where do I find the detailed report? Am i doing something wrong installing it? I right click on the package and select the install option..

Logs should be in

Code: Select all

/var/log/
dpkg and apt might be the ones to look at first.

Just open filemanager go to that folder and open some files.
The logs will show up in an editor. There are timestamps in each line.

But to make sure we dont digging into unnecessary work please open terminal and post the output of

Code: Select all

dpkg --print-architecture

Back to Post #4 :wink:
Youre using a 32 Bit Version of RaspiOs

Your Pi 4 (and even my Pi 3) is a 64-Bit-Device but the Operating system on yours is 32 Bit.
You should be fine by using the arm64-image from here: https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspi ... 020-08-24/

Thank you!
I was able to install it with 64 bit.
The issue now is the client tries to connect but does not succeed in connecting..

Also not sure if this is where I should post but Boinc does not work on 64 bit but works on 32 Lol. I use boinc for world community grid..

You can always post on the BOINC forums (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/forum_index.php) to provide them with some feedback. In the meantime, you can use to microSDs; one for F@H and the other for BOINC until the issue is resolved (assuming it would be addressed).

As you could download the client there is some connection to the internet. Maybe a firewall is blocking the request or needed ports.

Are you on a corporate or guest network?

No I am not behind a firewall and I am directly connected from my home network to the internet. I will check into the ports to make sure none is blocking. Thank you very much for taking time to help.
It is very much appreciated.
