Having trouble updating my laptop running CDLM. The error message I get is:

calculate / # cl-update

I have never had problems like this before. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I usually update every week and this problem surfaced about 3-4 weeks ago.

Hi,
Can you show the file with :

cat /var/lib/calculate/ini.env

without problems?

The cl-update tool can’t read the file. Is it corrupted ?

The ini.env file is as follows:

bob@calculate ~/Documents $ cat /var/lib/calculate/ini.env

What file is cl-update trying to read? If it is corrupt, how do I replace it with one that isn’t corrupt?

I think there are a problem here :

nlevels]

It’s not nlevels] but []{lang=“runlevels”}

Edit this file in command line with nano for example or vi, and change the nlevels] by []{lang=“runlevels”} ith root user.

Backup your original file before with

cp /var/lib/calculate/ini.env  /var/lib/calculate/ini.env.bak

Thanks. It was the problem. Updating now. Wish I knew how this file got changed. Thanks again!

I don’t know, it’s very strange. But it’s cool that it’s solved :slight_smile:
