Error when attempting to update 64 bit version

[brent2489]

HI,
    I get the following error when I do a "git pull" .... 

"Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'refs/heads/64-bit-rtk'
from the remote, but no such ref was fetched." 

What do I need to do the fix this???

You cannot update from any 32-bit install to 64-bit by doing 'git pull'.  The underlying OS needs to be reinstalled from scratch.

Here are instructions:

Now if you already did those instructions, then a git pull, that would be another thing.

Randall,  yes already on 64 bit and git pull has worked in the past.   Now errors out with above message.

Ok, that error is a from git.  It's not able to square what you're asking for with what it has.

So likely something about your repo doesn't match github.

You said you're already on 64-bit.  Was that perhaps the "beta" branch announced in July as opposed to the official release in October?

try running:
git branch

If that reports anything other than "master", then you probably had the beta.  We could possibly work out how to patch that to be the latest, but it would be cleaner to start from scratch.

Just to be pedantic, after the "git pull", wouldn't we still need to recompile and re-install? How does restarting jack deploy the new executables? Or is everything written in Python (and run out of the source code directories), so the pull will put the code in the right places, and the Python interpreter will re-compile?

[Randall (Admin)]

Right.  'git pull' works for getting the latest pi-Stomp python code which doesn't require recompiling, but if there are any changes to 'setup.sh' or the 'setup' directory, those will need to have setup.sh re-run so it can do any installs or building necessary.

And if you're going to re-run setup, it's generally best to just start from scratch.

Thanks
Was on beta.  Will reinstall

Working GREAT after re-install of the OS
