Upgrade
Re: Upgrade
The simplest method would be to obtain a new SD card, download the recent install, and burn that to the SD card...
Then swap SD cards, boot, and configure (if you're using a WiFi connection, there is supposed to be a means of putting the connection information on the SD card before booting; otherwise you'll have to connect to the automatic access point mode to make settings and then reboot to get connected to the regular router).

Re: Upgrade
Make a backup of your current configuration and then copy it to the root of your new image, reboot with the new image (wait a bit) and then log back in and double check the configuration.

when moving up from earlier releases that might not help you.KN2TOD wrote:Make a backup of your current configuration and then copy it to the root of your new image, reboot with the new image (wait a bit) and then log back in and double check the configuration.
Given there are a lot of additions made to the latest releases more features, reworking a lot of changes etc.
If you rely on an older config it wont populate fields for features that weren't there in that release, itll just leave them at their default values which might no suit your setup.

Re: Upgrade
I don't know what I am doing wrong.I have tried to d/l 4.1.2.zip on three computers. An HP, an imac, and a Dell laptop In every case when the d/l finishes I have no file and says there was a network error.
And, on my hotspot I am trying to run sudo dpkg in the SSH Access. But, I don't know login to use and what password to use. I am truly a mess.

Re: Upgrade
I am slowly beginning to get a little smarter but I am not quite there yet. I can now get into SSH Access but when I enter "sudo pi-star-update" it says not found. I have tried other ways of entry but no cigar. I can't say enough about how well people have been trying to help. Thanks to all.
Re: Upgrade
You need to type "sudo pistar-update" and "sudo pistar-upgrade", naturally without the quotation marks.WB4SJN wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2020 2:23 pm I am slowly beginning to get a little smarter but I am not quite there yet.

Note the difference:
"sudo pi-star-update"
vs
"sudo pistar-update"

Re: Upgrade
It is always a good day when a plan comes together. Thanks again to all that got me out of my troubles. I now have 4.1.2 on my hotspot. I ran the upgrade and it put 4.1.1 on and came back with the same sudo error. I ran the upgrade again and it put on 4.1.2 on with no errors. I am a happy camper.
Re: Upgrade
Pleased you got it sorted out, the thing to remember is that the update and upgrade steps sometimes need to be run a couple of times alternately.
