System up / volumio not responding

Help and Support Help
1

I’ve been running my Raspi box for many weeks with no issues.

Today, I elected to update from the volumio update menu item. It seemed to work ok, but now I can’t connect to volumio.

I tried with phone app and PC browser. I can connect with ssh and see the NAS drives.

I see the following every 10 seconds using: sudo journalctl -f
Oct 22 18:34:53 volumiom volumio-remote-updater[457]: [2018-10-22 18:34:53] [info] asio async_connect error: system:111 (Connection refused)
Oct 22 18:34:53 volumiom volumio-remote-updater[457]: [2018-10-22 18:34:53] [info] Error getting remote endpoint: system:107 (Transport endpoint is not connected)
Oct 22 18:34:53 volumiom volumio-remote-updater[457]: [2018-10-22 18:34:53] [error] handle_connect error: Underlying Transport Error

This was after the update restart and a subsequent ssh restart using reboot.

I can’t connect using /dev/ either

EDIT: is there a manual process to revert installation version of Volumio ? (2.444 seems recommended)

journal file for last boot with VOLUMIO_VERSION=“2.457”
journal.gz (19.5 KB)

So, for what it’s worth.
I chose to try the version again since I noticed that there was mention of a corrupted file from squashfs.
I also used the same flash card to try to reduce blame on flash card failure.
It seems to be working just as well.

I did the following:

  1. Sent the previous log file for examination after the failed Update to 2.457 using
    journalctl > logfile (I did this using a SSH connection that had been previously enabled)
  2. Used this command to do a quick backup in case I needed it
    sudo tar -zcvf volumio_data.tgz /data (per https://volumio.org/forum/quick-dirty-volumio-data-configuration-backup-with-tar-t6521.html)
  3. Copied the tar file and the logfile to my USB drive and then to my PC for safe keeping.
  4. I told the system to restore to ‘factory config’ using this command:
    touch /boot/factory_reset (per https://volumio.org/forum/how-get-back-previous-version-after-update-t7400.html)
  5. Told the system to reboot using this command:
    reboot
  6. The system restarted and gave me the initial startup configuration
  7. After a restart I also asked for an update (the factory version was quite old)
  8. The system restarted and I adjusted the system and playback settings and I picked restart.
  9. After it restarted and responded to the web interface, I reapplied the backup
    copied it back to the volumio home directory and ran:
    sudo tar -zxvf volumio_data.tgz -C / (see #2)
  10. Told the system to restart again using this command:
    reboot
  11. Adjusted my playback options and used one of my playlists to verify operation

Thoughts:
I would be good to have a section of the FAQ with all or some of these steps.

Plus, if someone hasn’t enabled SSH ahead of time and the web interface isn’t working, you won’t easily get any logs.
