Hi,

great to see that the 2.3 is finally released and this a couple of hours after upgrading to 2.3-rc2 :-) Appreciate your work to bring all this components working together.

What ist the recommended way to upgrade to 2.3. just use the package-manager of ubuntu or do I have to change repositories as well?

Thanks and best regards

Matthias

as usual just execute the bbb-install shell script as you installed the rc2 with. (hopefully)

it always is better to install using the shell script.

cheers

Hi Martin,

We recommend using the `bbb-install.sh` script to install/upgrade with 2.3.

Regards,... Fred

yes I used the script, ok then I will use it yust with the bionic-230. Ok I see I already used this before so the dev disappeared after the release candidates were available.

Thanks

I did

apt upgrade on ubuntu 18.04 where 2.3-dev was installed

the process stumbled upon an error (see below): does it depends on using apt upgrade? So, should I have used bbb-install.sh? How to fix the process?

Thanks

Marco

Please install node 12 instead of 16 (documented here:
https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/dev23.html).

Thank you for the help

if I try to install the repository for v. 12

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -

I got

## Confirming "bionic" is supported...

+ curl -sLf -o /dev/null 'https://deb.nodesource.com/node_12.x/dists/bionic/Release'

## Adding the NodeSource signing key to your keyring...

+ echo 'deb-src [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_12.x bionic main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

ok, 12.x is going to be considered...

BUT then the process runs into errors again...

Please *remove* node 16 before attempting to install node 12:

sudo apt-get remove nodejs

Thank you for suggesting the way, Lorenz.

If I apt remove nodejs

I also

The following packages will be REMOVED:

bbb-config bbb-html5 bbb-webrtc-sfu bigbluebutton nodejs

and I fear to broke my installation.

Should I go further? and then should I run bbb-install.sh again?

Thank you again for bearing me fears

Marco
PS: How did it come that nodjs 16 is installed?

Ah, my bad. Instead of removing, you also can downgrade:

sudo apt-get install nodejs=12.*

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

Selected version '12.22.1-1nodesource1' (Node Source:deb.nodesource.com [amd64]) for 'nodejs'
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
nodejs
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded.

After this operation, 25.6 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

> Should I go further? and then should I run bbb-install.sh again?

Yes, run bbb-install.sh again after fixing node.

The bbb-install.sh does hard-code node 12 (on bionic). If the server
has been used for some different application before, then that might be
an explanation. If you installed from scratch to a fresh server, then I
really do not have any idea on how node 16 could possibly find its way
into your sources.list.

Cheers,
Lorenz

after downgrading, the server started to prefer to use ipv6 and couldn't solve addresses (I can't figure out why).

I somehow managed to make ipv4 preferred appending

precedence ::ffff:0:0/96 100

to /etc/gai.conf

It may be useful for others, maybe

Apparently it worked even without running install.sh

Have a nice day!

Marco
