Did you update first? I had no problem upgrading from 4.1.0-RC2 to 4.1.0-RC3 after running a Pi-Star Update a few hours ago.

I ended up using ssh and doing the update then upgrade and that worked.

I also updated and upgraded to VN4.1RC3 and find that my RPI3B+ and jumbospot modem is now running about 4 to 5 degrees F warmer at idle than it used to with VN4.1RC2. I also notice that the cpu usage at idle is almost twice what it was with the previous RC2 software.
Anyone else notice this?

I noticed that the "Service Status" section of the Admin page has several "green" things running that aren't configured here, e.g. :
Code: Select all
$ ps auxw | grep -iE "p25|ysf" | grep -v grep
root 663 1.9 0.4 4132 1984 ? S< 19:06 0:06 /usr/local/bin/P25Parrot 42011
mmdvm 665 3.2 0.5 5012 2808 ? S<s 19:06 0:10 /usr/local/bin/YSFGateway /etc/ysfgateway
root 742 1.8 0.4 4228 2016 ? S< 19:06 0:05 /usr/local/bin/YSFParrot 42012
mmdvm 764 2.7 1.7 19152 8816 ? S<sl 19:06 0:08 /usr/local/bin/P25Gateway /etc/p25gateway
One wonders about the CPU usage and temperature affects of these. From "top" (table of processes):
Code: Select all
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
665 mmdvm 15 -5 5012 2808 2428 S 3.2 0.6 0:34.46 YSFGateway
742 root 15 -5 4228 2016 1876 S 2.3 0.4 0:19.13 YSFParrot
764 mmdvm 15 -5 19152 8816 2384 S 2.3 1.8 0:25.41 P25Gateway
663 root 15 -5 4132 1984 1844 S 1.9 0.4 0:19.72 P25Parrot
~10% CPU utilization when YSF and P25 aren't enabled here seems a rather wasteful use of limited resources. They certainly wouldn't help the CPU temp on something like the 3B+ or 4B, whose CPUs are generally observed to run hotter.

The upgrade to RC3 fixes logroate, and adds some drivers, it does not change anything else.
As for the CPU bump - thats more likely the changes I made to shrink the logs, and then had to revert the change - thats still a current issue.
