Hi
Been using this excellent OS to run LMS on an Allo SParky SBC, feeding a network of Pis running Dietpi and PCP.
I noticed there was an update available (153 > 154), so initiated the update process. After stopping the running services, the update process stalls at 'patching'. The Sparky is still accessible by ssh, but there is minimal CPU activity, and HTOP shows only HTOP consuming any CPU.
A reboot gets everything running again, but still at v153.
Any ideas how to resolve this, or investigate further?

Thanks for the report.
Would you be able to take a screenshot of the hang, as it occurs?
Also:
- Which Sparky setup are you running (eg: Sparky + Kali etc)?
- Which Power supply used (eg: 5V/3A barrel official)?
- Which SD/EMMC card used?
If you find our project or support useful, then we’d really appreciate it if you’d consider contributing to the project however you can.

Re: Sparky Update Stalls
Hi Dan
Struggling with a screen grab, but below shows how we get to the point where the update process stalls. I've once left it in this state overnight, but that made no difference. If I open another ssh terminla winodw and run HTOP, it only shows HTOP consuming 0.9% CPU
The Sparky is on it's own, no Kali or other HAT, ethernet. connected to a 1TB HDD via a powered USB hub. Due to a mishap with the micro-usb power port, the Sparky itself is powered through the GPIO pins, by the standard Allo 5v wallwart. The system has run this way since day one without issue, and has been through previous update cycles without issue (installed at version 149, from memory)
The SD card is a Sandisk Ultra, 32Gb Class 10.
Looking at the changelog, I can see nothing in the update that I need, but I like to keep it current.
Thanks for your help, let me know if you need more info/detail.

As none of the other patches have been applied, I believe this would of been the command hanging the system, but appears functional now.
Ok, try running the update again, it should be working (in theory).
NFS can cause endless system/command hangs, its a little "flaky" at times. CIFS (samba) is recommended where possible. If problems persist with the update, try dismounting the NFS drive before running the update:
Code: Select all
umount /mnt/nfs_client

Re: Sparky Update Stalls
Still no go, hangs at the same point.
Tried twice as instructed, second time with "umount /mnt/nfs_client" as this did unmount, as shown with a df command.
Your help is appreciated. As I said previously, it's all working without the update, but I'd prefer to stay up to date...
Not sure if this is useful, but if I ssh in another terminal when the update process is stalled, this is the HTOP output:

Looks like its hanging on obtaining the hardware information on this device.
