Initramfs-tools error(SOLVED)

Post by soniabu »

Hi everyone.
When re-installing through Synaptic DogRadio - which strangely worked this afternoon and not anymore - I get this error that doesn't allow me to re-install DogRadio:
'E: initramfs-tools: installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 126'
Can anyone show me the way to solve it?
Thanks Sonia
P.S.
since this error had already happened to me previously I also followed the procedure that solved the error of that time; but unfortunately this time it doesn't work and it reports me the following message:

Also hoping not to make other messes I ran this command but it disappointed me again:

For the sake of consideration I also started YRadio and this works well.
my system

Hi Sonia,

When re-installing through Synaptic DogRadio - which strangely worked this afternoon and not anymore - I get this error that doesn't allow me to re-install DogRadio:
'E: initramfs-tools: installed initramfs-tools package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 126'

You can try the same as you did earlier viewtopic.php?p=8282#p8282
make /usr/sbin/update-initramfs executable:

Code: Select all

chmod +x /usr/sbin/update-initramfs

Btw, it's a mystery for me how it can be not executable, I don't have this problem on my Fossadog.
For info, the issue has nothing to do with libgtk3-perl

Your second screenshot says that you have not enough free space in your save storage (linux-firmware is a big package).
Or you're perhaps using the EXIT: option (save only at shutdown) then the changes are running in RAM, when you do not have enough RAM then you may run out of free space also.

Hello Sonia,
Run this command in a terminal:

Code: Select all

dpkg --configure -a

What does this command return?

Code: Select all

apt install -f

Can you please post the results of both commands?

Thanks to you all gentlemen,
with the command chmod + x / usr / sbin / update-initramfs (thx Fred) and dpkg configure - a (thx rock) everything was fine; i re-installed DogRadio.
But it still doesn't work: it starts but even if I try to connect with the radio stations, there is no sound.
The hardware of the my PC works well as with YRadio I hear the music in the same stations as DogRadio well.
I don't understand what could have happened to DogRadio since this afternoon.
Mah! :roll:

Strange, Yradio uses the same player as Dogradio, mplayer, what you can try is reset dogradio settings to default by renaming ~/.dogradio to ~/.dogradio.bak

Code: Select all

mv ~/.dogradio ~/.dogradio.bak

And then start dogradio and see if sound works.

Ok, sonia, nice that it's solved, but... you have any idea why these strange problems happen ? Looks things got corrupted in your install or/and save, there must be a cause for that.
