SOLVED Pi3 Won't Pick Up 18.02.09 Update

[miso117]

Hello!

Wondering if there is any way to force an update on Recalbox. I rebooted it multiple times, tried to swap the config on / off for updating, rebooting the device every time to make sure the configuration stuck, but it won't pick up the update. I am currently on the 17.12.02 release trying to get to the new 18.02.09 one.

Sample below of Update section on my config.

------------ G - UPDATES ------------

Automatically check for updates at start (0,1)

updates.enabled=1

Update type : default to stable

updates.type=stable

I know it's reachable cause I can hit it from my local network, and Kodi picks up PLEX over the internet, so thats working too, connectivity-wise. I have rebooted my router and modem trying to cover all the basics, not sure what is going on, never had an issue with picking up updates before.

Also, I have left this overnight to ensure there was enough time to pick up a broadcast of an update if that was the issue...

Thank you in advance for your help!

@miso117 can you ping archive.recalbox.com from your recalbox ?

@miso117 what about /recalbox/scripts/upgrade/recalbox-upgrade.sh canupgrade ?

[miso117]

I tried that via Putty now... Looks like something is happening, but Putty screen hung, Checking monitoring page, I can see something happening, I will leave it alone for a few and let you know. I backed up my roms folder in case I had to do a fresh install, worst case, I do that.

I will let you know, you're a saint with these lighting fast replies

[Substring]

@miso117 it's supposed to be lighning fast. The manager is a dirty liar regarding cpu load, one core is always at 100% for an unknown reason

[miso117]

Recalbox on the TV doesn't show anything... Should I just reboot at this point?

[miso117]

Well well...

Rebooted, re-SSH'd and I got this:

It appears that my date and time are very, very wrong on the PI.
"# date Mon Dec 31 20:30:48 EST 1979"

[miso117]

Any reason why time would not be syncing? Thoughts? I never had an issue with it before.

[OyyoDams]

@miso117 do you have a firewall (maybe on your box) that blocks ntp protocol ?

[miso117]

Not that I am aware of... And I don't think anything changed router-wise recently... Never had this issue before. What can I ping to test if it's being blocked?

[Substring]

@miso117 try 0.pool.ntp.org <hich is configured in Recalbox.

Are you using a VPN somehow ?

[miso117]

No sir, no VPN.

ping 0.pool.ntp.org

looks like it is hitting it just fine.

[Substring]

@miso117 do you have a real recalbox and not some internet lousy image ?

[miso117]

I put the image directly on the SD card myself when 17.12.02 was released from the Recalbox site.

[OyyoDams]

@miso117 can you connect with putty, and write:
bash -x /recalbox/scripts/upgrade/recalbox-upgrade.sh canupgrade

What's the result ?

[miso117]

looks like its hanging @

Putty sits there at % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed - No blinking cursor, doesn't look like its doing anything...

I have my ROMS folder pulled, I can just do a fresh image. No biggie... I can do that and let you know if I still see the weird date thing after.

Let me know if you want to try to keep plugging at it or start fresh. I'm OK either way.

[Substring]

@miso117 you do have a problem somewhere ... As if port 9443 is locked. Let's force it another way :
bash -x /recalbox/scripts/upgrade/recalbox-upgrade.sh upgrade

Is it your first recalbox installation ?
