Problems upgrading to 11.7.3

Tried to update my EmonPi via the admin page but it does nothing, any ideas?

Git:
URL : GitHub - emoncms/emoncms: Web-app for processing, logging and visualising energy, temperature and other environmental data
Branch : * master
Describe : 11.6.7

This is the current version.

Hello @JJC what emonSD image version do you have? Should be on the Admin Info page

Hi,

emonpiRelease: emonSD-24Jul20

Thanks @JJC that one is on the list so should work, perhaps try a reboot and then run it again?

Tried a reboot and then clicked the update button but still nothing happened :frowning:
I can give you access to the system if you have the time and would like a look, just let me know.

@TrystanLea Same problem for me on my emonBase with RFM69Pi (ATmega328).

at the moment from admin/system info
Pi Model Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Rev 1.3 - 1GB (Sony UK)
emoncms version: low-write 11.6.8
emonpiRelease: emonSD-21Jul21

From admin/components, all are on the Master branch

Clicking on admin/update/release info I get 11.7.3 from

Clicking on either
admin/update/Full Update or
admin/update/Update Emoncms
a blank Update Log window appears but nothing happens.
I’ve tried rebooting but it doesn’t help.

From what I remember the update mechanism used to work. The emonBase is running fine at the moment, but I just wanted to update it. I’d be grateful for any help.

Thanks

This is exactly the same issue I get though my version is
emonpiRelease: emonSD-24Jul20
low-write 11.6.7

I also purchased a new card from the shop to try a complete update but when I try the “update from USB” from the backup option using the old SD card it gives a fatal SQL error and trashes the new card. I rebuilt the card from the downloadable image and tried again with the same result. I am back on the original card for the moment as this is still working OK.
Any ideas gratefully accepted :slight_smile:

My only idea was to flash a spare SD card with the latest image but from what you’re saying that doesn’t look too promising!

@JJC
I wonder if the problems might be something to do with this?
from the emonSD download page -

emonSD-01Feb24

Download (1.4 GB): UK Server

Note: There is a known issue with this image when used with emonPi v1 hardware. A small modification to /boot/cmdline.txt is needed to fix. Please see: https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/problem-with-01feb24-emoncms-image/27013/4.

as the problem above is with a RaspberryPi 3 B+. However it seems to be a boot issue, so I don’t know if it’s connected to our problem,

Apologies @rupert @JJC I will boot up a emonSD-24Jul20 image today and see what is happening.

Thank you :smiley:

Thanks all :slight_smile:

Hmm, our backup copy of emonSD-24Jul20 seems to be bricking SD cards, 3 so far, @JJC could I take you up trying to fix this via remote access to your system? Feel free to PM me connection details.
