Solved Updating recalbox 4.0.0 beta (2016/2/25) to newest beta

[ymdjackal]

Hi there,

I am having the problem that my recalbox won't do the update. Download progress seems to hang after executing upgrade script. In addition, ssh is not responding after reaching that status.

Any ideas?

The update is made in 2 steps :

• download (that's what you're doing)
• reboot to apply the update

The download shouldn't hang. Do you have enough space left ?

Tried to delete the temporary files in folder upgrade and executed the script again. Unfortunately without success. The upgrade process can be seen shortly and then recalbox restarts again with the old version.

Here is the upgrade error log

cp: can't stat 'recalbox-boot.conf': No such file or directory

And it seems to be right that there might be a disc space problem: The GUI says "0GB/13GB". /dev/Root/ has 150MB free disk space left.
How can I delete unnecessary files? Roms are nearly none existent ...

What does df -h report ?

[ymdjackal]

here you go:

Does anyone have an idea?

cp: can't stat 'recalbox-boot.conf': No such file or directory

recalbox don't find your /boot/recalbox-boot.conf file. Some old, 4.0.0 alpha versions didn't had this files.

Try to create it manually, then retry an update :

• to remount /boot partition with write rights :
  mount -o remount, rw /boot

• then this command to create the file :
  echo -e "internal=/dev/mmcblk0p3\nsharedevice=INTERNAL" > /boot/recalbox-boot.conf

Now try to update the system using the /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-upgrade.sh script.
