Re: Seamless Software Upgrade v4.2008.36-5 is out!

Hmmm... I'm having a strange problem that hasn't been discussed here yet... I boot from a SD card, and without thinking I updated the SD card first. Only, it didn't prompt me to reboot at the end. I then rebooted into flash, with the same result: updated, but it didn't ask me to reboot. Rebooting again, into SD, shows the old version number: 4.2008.30-2. Any ideas?

Re: Seamless Software Upgrade v4.2008.36-5 is out!

app manager showed deblet-installer, which I know about and just haven't upgraded..., and apt-get upgrade showed:

I don't think I had anything weird installed either on my N810.

The update progress bar was about 75% complete and it just stopped and the updatable application list refreshed with a bunch of new updates available.

I waited a few minutes for something to happen (error dialog, popup asking to reboot, etc.) but nothing did.

I didn't bother trying to update those other apps yet but I did try to reconnect the wifi but no AP selection window would pop up.

I tried the power button to reboot. No popup there either which is strange since that seems to work no matter how hooped your desktop might be.

I had the same problems.

Changed the way the X server works (sliderotate)
Installed a new kernel or initfs
Are booting from SD card
Have installed powermenu
...

I didn't do anything from 1-4.

It's up to the people who package these add-ons to find a way of safely reverting back to the previous behaviour if they find the world they're inhabiting gone wrong. Or to disable auto-update. Or to better inform their users.

It would be better to have some kind of failsafe or single-user mode like on standard Linux machines, so that the user can try to fix things without needing a reflash.

Re: Seamless Software Upgrade v4.2008.36-5 is out!

OK, I'm making some headway on my problem. I ran these two commands:

Code:

mkdir -p /usr/share/pre-installed/MyDocs/.documents/

echo "..." > /usr/share/pre-installed/MyDocs/.documents/test.txt

And now I'm getting some chown errors... I'll try deleting the files and see if that fixes anything.

I installed to mmc2 first (to see if I could install it just there and still boot into it, which you can't), then I installed it to Flash, then reinstalled Bootmenu, and viola! It works.

Re: Seamless Software Upgrade v4.2008.36-5 is out!

I and several other users report WIFI problems after SSU upgrade. here is thread:

Re: Seamless Software Upgrade v4.2008.36-5 is out!

Just documenting my progress here for those in a similar situation. I rebooted into flash and fscked the SD card partition, and just hit y to all the prompts. Rebooted into SD, and tried apt-get -f install again. It gave me the pre-installed error again, so I ran my two lines from above, and it gave me one of the file errors. I removed the directory that file was in, ran the two commands above, and ran apt-get -f install AGAIN, and it went off without an error. Checking in About Product still shows the old version number, rebooted and I have the new version number! So, I think I'm all set now...

I disabled the component in the browser then restarted and adblock disappeared from the installed components list. So I used the app manager and uninstalled adblock and reinstalled and also rebooted. Still not working but does show up in the installed components list and is listed as enabled. Any hints?

This isn't the hint you're looking for, but try Privoxy instead. I find it much more lightweight.
