Failed to Update and now Connection Timed Out at umbrel.local

Support and Troubleshooting
1

Hi there! Apologies if this is a dumb question, I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to SSH commands and such. I attempted to update UmbrelOS to 1.5 and the update “hung”, becoming unresponsive. I have it installed on a Dell laptop I wasn’t using for anything else.

I can still access the shell on the laptop, but any attempts to connect to umbrel.local time out. I perused the forum for similar situations but ultimately wasn’t able to find a solution. I attempted things like sudo apt-get update && sudo apt upgrade -y –fix-missing to no avail– updates hang with a bunch of Failed to fetch… returns and ultimate returns Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I also attempted to remove the update in progress? I tried: rm -f ~/umbrel/statuses/update-in-progress && sudo rebootand while the shell rebooted on the device, I still can’t access umbrel.local

Am I cooked? How do I fix this? I feel like such a n00b, I don’t even know how to pull log files. Any and all help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

How is it connected to your network?

Thank you for taking the time to reply, stinger32! I appreciate you.

… It wasn’t! I tracked down the command to connect it to the Internet and that got it back up.I used the following commands to connect, in case someone else has run into this problem:

sudo nmcli device wifi list ## to see if my WiFi network was even showing up, and then
sudo nmcli device wifi connect MYWIFINAME password 'MYWIFIPASSWORD' ## the command to connect

That’s probably obvious to everyone here, but just in case it’s not, there it is!

Thanks everyone who read this!
