@TenPlus1: farming redo problems...^^
at least i had a new world created without farming mod in 0.4.17.1 and there hay slabs and stair are ok.
In the world i imported from 0.4.16 server(with farming-redo 1.36) these blocks became "unknown"items.
I'll do another test with a new world in 0.4.17.1 with farming enabled

EDIT: ok, just read the farming thread, will update farming to 1.37 and stairs too

What exactly do I need to do to update on Linux minetest?

I use Linux → Ubuntu → Mate

You don't say which version of Ubuntu you are running, but it must be 18.04 or older if you do not have Minetest 0.4.17.1; based on this. To get the current version you will need to add this PPA to your repository list. If you are familiar with Flatpacks, you can install from here.

This is inaccurate and unrelated. 18.04 is the latest long-term support release. *buntu repositories are always a few versions behind.

You told Phoenix to do what I suggested, add the PPA to get 0.4.17.1.
You did give him the step by step, which I didn't. I did give an additional installation option in the event he prefers flatpacks. Inaccurate and unrelated - no, spoon feeding - no, more than the absolute minimum of information - guilty.

I know 18.04 is the latest LTS. As I said if Phoenix were on 18.10, Minetest would already be at the current stable version and he wouldn't be asking to upgrade. For him to have an older version of MT from the distro's official repositories Phoenix must be on Ubuntu 18.04, at the newest, which is at MT 0.4.16. Ubuntu 17.10 is also at 0.4.16 - I believe. If he were on an even older version of Ubuntu the MT version would be older still:

GD gave good instructions, that should have worked. In fact, that is how I installed the current version of MT on my laptop running LinuxMint 18.x (based on Xenial).

If you didn't do so, I would try again on the off chance there was a connection issue, or a problem with the Launchpad servers. The only thing I can tell from the error message would not be related to a wrong command. When I check the page for the ppa, and my sources list, it reads minetestdevs/stable/ubuntu instead of the minetestdevs/ubuntu/stable from your console. In fact it shows the same when I run apt update, but keep in mind I'm looking at a LM system and not getting the path from the same place you are.

It is probably best if you remove the default system Minetest before trying to add the PPA.

EDIT: You do have full sudo privileges, correct? Or is this a computer owned by school, work or family on which you do not have full rights to add non-official (other than Ubuntu repository) packages.

To work through this, use this command to see what is installed and / or available.
Code: Select all
apt search minetest

My results were
Code: Select all

Removing any installed packages of older versions should not change your local data in ~/.minetest. (Make a backup of it all as a precaution.) Once installed packages are removed, indicated by an i in the above output, then try installing the PPA with GD's instructions.

Based on your results, at a minimum, I would suggest removing (un-installing) minetest, minetest-data, and minetest-server before trying to enable the PPA that both I and GreenDiamond suggested. You should remove all three because the second and third are built into the PPA. If you don't remove all of them there would probably be interference when you add the PPA - likely the source of your error.

BUT, if I were you, I would un-install the three packages I already mentioned and all of the mods you installed from the Ubuntu repositories. It looks like you have 13 of them. THE REASON is that MT version 0.4.17.x had changes that broke older mods, as these are.

EDIT: Also, minetest-server is built into the PPA version, as is the data added with minetest-data.

IIRC, in the PPA minetest-server is included in minetest, instead of being a separate package. Also, to call it you may need minetestserver in lieu of minetest-server. Looking at the manpage, it is either
Code: Select all
minetest [--server SERVER OPTIONS | CLIENT OPTIONS] [COMMON OPTIONS] [WORLD PATH]

OR

minetestserver [SERVER OPTIONS] [COMMON OPTIONS] [WORLD PATH]

Not all versions will have bugfix release - only, when we discovered bugs at 5.0.0, and not because 0.4.17.1 has bugfix release.

maybe then your in the wrong Post/Thread here - as this is about 0.4.17.1 and that they offered a new release ... for 0.4.17.1

Re: Minetest 0.4.17.1 (Bugfix release)

Postby markbob » Mon Apr 08, 2019 7:49 pm

Hi Guys

My first post, sorry if its in the wrong place....just desparate now!!!!
In a nut-shell, I'm looking to set up a minetest test server on a 1686 laptop, perferably 0.4.17.1
OS is Debian 9, no gui (no Xserver)...having said that, I'll put any OS on it..system is only for minetest server.

Story so far, I've had a 0.4.17.1 build running on a RPI (ref [Raspberry PI] Server post - Nathan.S solution...many thanks)
This is just for me to have a server running (at my home) - and my kids can access it from theirs.
All worked fine, but I think the RPI can't take the pace and want to move the server onto a laptop.
We have a 'world' we have been working on & would still like to use it - hence still need 0.4.17.1 onwards.
We didn't have alot of Mods - mesecons being the main plus several other 'safe' mods.

I've tried several options compiling - ppa changes - anything I could find but too many errors to sift thru when I'm not entirely sure what stuff I'm dealing with.

I will keep persisting, but just planting a seed out here to see what the experts recommend is the best 'straightish' way forward.

I love Linux & Minetest and the challenges they put forward....but this one is definitely getting the better of me

appreciate the great work your doing any any advice given...

OK no response so far - maybe I've posted in the wrong place - anyway UPDATE
I now have a 0.4.17.1 version on the above Deb 9 setup adding stretch-backports to my sources list.
Now problem is after copying over my old world (still 0.4.17.1)
The minetest server starts up, but after a few seconds it aborts with the below...
Code: Select all
2019-04-10 21:09:12: ACTION[Main]: World at [/home/mark/.minetest/worlds/world]
2019-04-10 21:09:12: ACTION[Main]: Server for gameid="minetest" listening on 0.0.0.0:30000.
2019-04-10 21:09:18: ERROR[Server]: saveMapMeta: could not write /home/mark/.minetest/worlds/world/map_meta.txt
2019-04-10 21:09:18: INFO[Server]: ServerEnvironment::saveMeta(): Failed to write /home/mark/.minetest/worlds/world/env_meta.txt
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'SerializationError'
  what():  Couldn't save env meta
Aborted

So far I have tried changing the env_meta.txt as suggested in posts. - no change, still aborting.
I'm thinking it may be a permissions issue...?

Anyway, just an update for now - any other ideas welcome

.....time has moved on...and so has my progress...

I now have working 0.4.17 with my world functioning well on it!!!!
Do'nt ask me how...I crossed too many bridges to remember the way now.
What I do know is I have quite a few .minetest folders scattered all over the place which will have to be cleared up sometime (by process of elimination).
My latest mystery is with my Mods - my minetest/log file reports not finding some mods - but when server is up and running, the mods have been loaded fine?? - also it seems the world.mt file reads that alot of mods are 'false' yet they too have been loaded. (another project for the process of elimination)
Last mystery is still unsolved - trying to load Ma_Pops furniture without success so far.....tried a few folder renames but still no joy, and the server crashes out at start-up (remove the ma_pop mod folder and all is good again)

Any thoughts always welcome.....I'll keep up loading progress as long as the 'post text limit' allows....
