I can't update umbrel from 1.4 to 1.4.2 šŸ˜¢

Support and Troubleshooting
1

Hi everyone, Iā€™ve been trying to update my umbrel for a few days now but every time it restarts after the update itā€™s always on version 1.4 and it says thereā€™s a new update to do. Iā€™ve already tried restarting it and turning it off completely but it doesnā€™t change the result and I donā€™t know what the problem could be.
As hardware I have:
raspberry pi 5 8gb
2tb hdd
Any ideas to solve the problem?
Thanks

Same problems. Tried to run the update script manually from the console via SSH. Nothing good, found no solution on the internet. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have the same problem but stuck on 1.2.2 using the same hardware except 4 TB that can only use 2.2TB or something it works but had I known 4 TB wouldnā€™t work I wouldnā€™t have wasted the money.

I have had the same issue, update keeps failing. I gave up tryingā€¦

Hey I managed to solve the problem, I found the solution on other discussions that talked about the same problem but on older versions of umbrel.

Hereā€™s how to fix it:
If you are on a Raspberry Pi can you please go to Settings > Advanced settings > Terminal > umbrelOS and run the following command to attempt updating to 1.4.2:

sudo mender install https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.4.2/umbrelos-pi.update && sudo rugpi-ctrl system reboot --spare

Please make sure to copy and paste the entire command exactly.

If you have previously run something like sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y, this ends up breaking the update process.

What should be the coding if the issue is to update to 1.5 from 1.4.2?

Thanks for help :grinning_face:

Just replace the 1.4.2 with 1.5.0 I just did it and it worked for me.
