Volumio 3 Beta test: New init

The new build has been triggered for x86. What is worrying, init has not changed.

Okay thanks.

I’ve now installed it without the ā€œPost190ā€ā€¦it seems to be working at the moment…

On the third try it seems to work - 3.676 is starting right now from a freshly flashed USB Stick…
OTA did definitely not work from 3.674 to 3.676 …

Hey Robert,

Would be possible for you to re-test 3.674 to 3.677 OTA?

3.677 direct download (if needed)

I’ll try OTA from 3.674 to 3.676

btw: you linked to a 3.677 (not 3.676) - is that the new build?

Apologies, it is 3.677 indeed.

The new ā€œonboarding guideā€ is nice. :slight_smile:

ok.

Then I try now OTA from 3.676 to 3.677

:x:

OTA from 3.676 to 3.677 ends up in the GRUB selection screen. I’m sorry to say that…
and ā€œerror: no such deviceā€ if started the single entry there.

Oh, may be important to mention: These have been my first OTA tests in this beta test phase.

How do you boot your device legacy or UEFI?

My system starts via UEFI

Can you try to boot in Legacy mode?

What exactly do I have to change? The BIOS seems to have only the option UEFI when I boot from USB…?

There is no (USB) legacy mode to enable?

Also testing the same and UEFI seems to be the culprit with the OTA. Had the same issue. Booting in legacy mode solve the issue for the time being.

not sure what parameters in the BIOS are to change. Please have a look at the attached screenshots.


The ā€œINTENSO RAINBOWā€¦ā€ USB Stick contains the volumio beta.

The Samsung SSD contains my regular system (3.661 at the moment, I think) as well as my music library. OTA worked over there until 3.661

It seems it’s not available. Issue has been identified and needs a fix. Can’t give an ETA.
For the time being you can download 3.667 as Nerd posted and don’t perform OTA until this has been fixed.

ok, will do so. Thanks. :slight_smile:

Will the fix for OTA in combination with UEFI boot block this beta?

Yes, but we are close to releasing a fixed version. Just giving it a final test here.

x86 v3.678 out, please test OTA.
Please start with the latest release (v3.661)
