DietPi Problem loading Amiberry V2 onto Raspberry Pi 2

[Stormhunter632]

Hi. i have a problem loading amiberry on my PI 2. it has a 32gb SD card in it. it has been loading code and rebooted a couple of times, now it is stuck on a page saying /etc/rc.local: line 6: /DietPi/dietpi/func/dietpi-notify: No such file or directory. It is repeating above constantly.Can you advise please.

@Stormhunter632

Thanks for the report.

Is this a fresh installation today, or an existing installation thats worked for a period of time?

And, is the image you used DietPi-AmiBerry_v131_RPi-armv6-(Jessie).img or DietPi_v141_RPi-armv6-(Jessie).img?

[Stormhunter632]

It was today and is V131 which is the one on the retro facebook group

@Stormhunter632

Working on it now, just put that there for notes, few minutes.

[Stormhunter632]

ok thanks had me worried there lol

Ok, i've updated the RPi image which should prevent loss of DietPi files in /boot and /DietPi.

Please can you:

• Download the new image: http://dietpi.com/downloads/images/DietPi_RPi-armv6-(Jessie).7z
• Write to SD card
• Right click the following link http://dietpi.com/downloads/conf/DietPi-AmiBerry/dietpi.txt , select "Save as", then save to /boot/dietpi.txt on the SD card
• Eject SD, plug into RPi and power on.

Let me know if this resolves the issue.

[Stormhunter632]

ok i will have a go and let you know thanks

Thanks. Strange, I duplicated the same test, works fine on my RPi 3.

Which PSU brand/amperage, SD card and RPi are you using?

[Stormhunter632]

using rpi2 Samsung scandisk 32gb and 5.1v 2.5 amp psu supplied by the Pi Hut
I can try it on my RPI3 if you want

[Stormhunter632]

I just tried on my pi 3 with same result. will try with different SD card after Tea but they are both brand new from Pi Hut

[Fourdee]

@Stormhunter632

Thanks.

Strange, Sandisk/Samsung should be fine.

Did you download and write the updated image: http://dietpi.com/downloads/images/DietPi_RPi-armv6-(Jessie).7z ?

[Stormhunter632]

I have just done a total restart from scratch. so loaded image and saved file in /boot/diet pi on new SD card. it ran till it stopped at login details. I did not know you had to login again until I pressed the return button. It then loaded everything and is now sitting on the amiga setup page. I am now going to read the read me document to see how to load kickstarts and roms and see if it works. I will let you know the result.

@Stormhunter632

Thanks 👍

I did not know you had to login again until I pressed the return button.

This should not be the case, automatic login for AmiBerry, i'll look into it.

[Fourdee]

@Stormhunter632

I've updated the AmiBerry image also. Simply download, write to SD card and poweron:
http://dietpi.com/downloads/images/DietPi-AmiBerry_RPi-armv6-(Jessie).7z

I've tested here, working fully and automatic login.

If you could test this image on another RPi system, i'd be grateful.

[Stormhunter632]

ok i will do that.

[Stormhunter632]

Tried it on RPI 2 with a normal micro SD 32gb card and PSU 5v 2.5a and it came up with Line1120 syntax error near unexpected token '{'

This might be due to the scan disc not sure.

Now running it on same set up with a new Samsung 32gb SD and it is loaded straight into Amiberry no problems. Also tried it on RPi 3 and fine on there as well.

I just need to now find out how to load Roms and Kickstarts into Amiberry to test it fully.

@Stormhunter632

This might be due to the scan disc not sure.

Thanks for running the additional tests 👍
Yep, sounds like an issue with the SD card used. Possibly faulty.

I just need to now find out how to load Roms and Kickstarts into Amiberry to test it fully.

is it possible to load midnight commander and PUTTY ssh into Amiberry as all of my things are run on Linux and Raspberry Pi. The only Microsoft i have is on a small laptop so hard to work with and linux is easier for me to uas SSH and transfer files that way.

[Fourdee]

@Stormhunter632

OpenSSH server is installed by default on AmiBerry image. You can use WinSCP for file transfers:

Putty can also be used for SSH.

MC can be installed optionally, by using dietpi-software > Linux Software > Midnight commander

[Stormhunter632]

Thank you for your help. i will have a practice at setting up amiberry and other bits over weekend.

@Stormhunter632

No worries, let me know if any issues.

I'll mark this as resolved. Please reopen if required.
