After deploying a robot to Linux systems, you may be unable to distribute probes to the robot.
Attempting to distribute robot_update results in a "no sections found which can be installed" or "No sections found for package 'robot_update'" error.
When I install a probe or robot_update I see: "No section found which can be installed on /<domain>/<hub>/<robot>/"
There are two resolutions to this issue. One is faster, but requires deletion and reinstallation of the robot. The other resolution requires more work but allows you to keep the existing installation.
Faster/Easier Resolution:
1. Download the attached version of nimldr-9.37.tar and install_LINUX_23_64.zip from this article. (Note that this package installs robot 9.37GA.)
2. On the Linux machine, enter these commands to kill and then remove the current robot:
3. Use the attached nimldr and install_LINUX_23_64.zip to reinstall the robot.
When nimldr asks "Do we have a copy of the installation file locally?" say yes, and provide the path to this install_LINUX_23_64.zip file.
This will install the robot 9.37 correctly and you will now be able to upgrade it to a higher version and/or deploy probes successfully.
