screen doesn't start when running the command
modulareverything opened this issue · 6 comments
I followed the Linux Seedbox instructions to the letter but when I run the screen command
screen -dmS unpackerr $HOME/unpackerr/unpackerr -c $HOME/unpackerr/unpackerr.confI get no errors but running screen -ls or screen -r nothing seems to be running.
I've checked that the directory is correct so I'm just looking for a little guidance. What could I check to see what might be going wrong?
Thanks
What happens when you run the command? is $HOME set? is unpackerr @ $HOME/unpackerr/unpackerr?
ls $HOME/unpackerr/unpackerr
Hey David, hopefully this provides a little more insight
Looks like you cloned the repo. I'm not real sure why. The directions you should follow are found here. You specifically missed steps 1 and 2. Step 1 is download a file from the releases page. Scroll down just a bit, click show all 23 assets, locate unpackerr.amd64.linux.gz and download it. Or click the link here. Then extract it and put it at $HOME/unpackerr/unpackerr and chmod +x it. Then screen will start it.
In the meantime you should delete that unpackerr repo clone. You must delete the repo clone so you can put the file where it is. They have the same name, so you can't keep it as-is.
I updated the seedbox directions on the website slightly.
I changed the link to here: https://github.com/Unpackerr/unpackerr/releases/latest
Instead of here: https://github.com/Unpackerr/unpackerr/releases
This change in the link means you no longer have to click Show all 23 assets to see all the files. I also added a hint to which file you should download.
Please have a look and let me know if this helps.
Thanks, David, no idea how I'd done that, I must have been half asleep so sorry for asking the stupid question but thanks for correcting me. That's solved the problem 😄
