Update from 2.0 to 2.1.1 from UI hanging

[morphias2004]

Running Octodash v2.0. on a Pi4 4Gb with Octoprint 1.4.2, OctoPi 0.17.0 and Python 3.7.3 with a HyperPixel 4.0.

UI notified of an update to 2.1.1 was available. I confirmed the update and it went to a progress bar that says "Installing update" and "This may take a while".

20mins later and it's still sitting there with this message. :(

[morphias2004]

I've worked around this by hard power cycling the Pi and running the update script from the Pi command line.

@morphias2004 This is addressed in the wiki and the release notes for 2.1.0. You need to add a script to get updates working, in the future. https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/wiki/Update#in-app-update

@UnchartedBull given these releases came so close to each other it may be worth putting it in the release notes for 2.1.1 as well.

My in app update isn't hanging, but it's taking almost 50 minutes to download. When I update it via Putty, it takes only a couple of minutes.

Update was same as @morphias2004 , doing wiki failed, because I had no script folder. I got all that fixed and got the Octodash to update, but update seems broke. " Can't get Octoprint script!" this is how I got the update script installed and working.

Making Octodash update from OctoDash

I did not have a scripts folder so i had to make one

Log in to pi with putty (or whatever terminal you choose)

---

Creating scripts directory

---

mkdir scripts

---

creating script ~/scripts/update-octodash

---

sudo nano ~/scripts/update-octodash

---

put (or add) this in script

---

#!/bin/bash

dpkg -i /tmp/octodash.deb
rm /tmp/octodash.deb

---

save and exit nano Ctrl o Ctrl x

---

---

Make the script executable:

---

sudo chmod +x ~/scripts/update-octodash

---

Enable passwordless sudo for the update script (/etc/sudoers.d/update-octodash):
( I did not have file , so this is new file too)

---

sudo nano /etc/sudoers.d/update-octodash

---

add this

---

pi ALL=NOPASSWD: /home/pi/scripts/update-octodash

---

save and exit nano Ctrl o enter Ctrl x

---

---

Then reboot pi

---

sudo reboot

@ruralaccent that would be most like your wifi speed, mine download less that a minute

[carl1961]

I even tried adding the delay as once mentioned before , but still not working, " Can't get octoPrint script"
delay worked, as i could see the delay after ratpoison

By how long are you delaying the start?
Best way to delay the OctoDash start is probably by adding a sleep to ~/cd..
.

---

***********login as root and not pi ********************

nano /home/pi/.xinitrc

***** add sleep 20 above octodash **********
sleep 20

****save and exit nano Ctrl o enter Ctrl x ******

***** Then reboot pi *******

sudo reboot

[carl1961]

even manually updating from Unofficial OctoDash Builds still "can't get OctoPrint script!"

[UnchartedBull]

Is your printer connected to OctoPrint?

[carl1961]

BackDated to 2.0.0 and running again

@UnchartedBull if your referring to me, I just redid update again after reinstalling 2.0 as above post and 2.1.1 works, but this time I made sure octoprint was up in the web browse.

[thegarbz]

@carl1961 I too saw the script error, but after following the instructions (restarting) I haven't seen it since.

[UnchartedBull]

ok seems like everything is working for everyone now. Closing this here, if you still experience issues please comment / reopen.

@thegarbz good idea, updated the release notes for 2.1.1.
