Update from 1.1 to 1.2.1 not working

Dear community,
I got the below update note.


I tried to update now 3 times but after the automatic reboot umbrel is still on Version 1.1.
Which logs can I check or is there a way to update through command line?
Thank you in advance!

Exactly same problem here! Tried 6 times. No error message on GUI, reboot shows old version and ad for 1.2.1 pops up again after seconds!
Umbrel is working smoothly until now on a

ESPRIMO Q556/2 i3 8GB/2TB
umbrelOS 1.1.2

Known bug or feature? :wink:
Tnx for advice!

I have not tried to update yet. For what I have seen before with other upgrades, there are always issues from one version to the other. I am currently on 1.1, for now.

Hey, you can try SSH into your umbrel and execute

  • if you are running it on raspberry pi:
sudo mender install https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.2.1/umbrelos-pi.update && sudo reboot
  • if you are running it on x86 system:
sudo mender install https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.2.1/umbrelos-amd64.update && sudo reboot

Wait for the system to update and reboot.

Let me know if this helped.

Worked for me, no issues after rebooting, all apps and channels came back as before. Thank you.

Are you using raspberry pi or x86 platform?
Are you able to access your apps?

Raspberry Pi 4 here… followed the instructions but it constantly fails at the same location. Fast, reliable internet here

Interesting that it’s trying to get a Pi5 file when it’s a 4

Hello Django,
Thank you, I’m on x86 and the provided command doesn’t help. Apps are accessible.
Attachted the output of ‘sudo mender install https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.2.1/umbrelos-amd64.update && sudo reboot

No idea what is the problem.
Maybe try updating to umbrelOS 1.2 first?

x64, after “update” it’s working smoothly again on 1.1.2 as before. With all apps. Which logs are containing info about update procedure?

I tried updating with an older version and creating a verbose log file, but neither the update was performed nor a log file created.

This is the command I used for V 1.1.2:
sudo mender install https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.1.2/umbrelos-amd64.update --log-file ‘/home/*****/tmp/update.log’ --log-level verbose && sudo reboot

Here for 1.2.0:
sudo mender install https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/releases/download/1.2.0/umbrelos-amd64.update --log-file '/home/****/tmp/update.log’ --log-level verbose

you tried to update from 1.1.2 to 1.1.2?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

If you check my first post my Umbrel version is 1.1 (screenshot) and I tried updating to 1.1.2, 1.2.0 and 1.2.1

Same issue on my Umbrel-Node (x86) brand new installed and synced 1 Week ago!

It seems some others are having the same problem and can’t update!
Any help now would be greatly appreciated!

Would downloading the latest Raspberry Pi 4 image from https://download.umbrel.com/release/latest/umbrelos-pi4.img.zip then re-etching the SD card be feasible, just like we all had to do to get from 0.54 to to 1.0 initially?

Any issues with updating raspi also?

yes, my Pi 4 won’t update

Yes, I’m going to learn about start9. Wonder if I can use my blockchain data without a complete new sync.
