OTA update failure

roger64 · 02-05-2020, 10:10 PM

Hi

I did not succeed to update the latest (end January) Koreader OTA update. I tried three times: the update line (vérifier les mises à jour...) freezes before beginning anything.

Kindle PW3.

Edit: update succeeded after sixth try.

From which version exactly (to which version)?

2019.12 -> 2020.01 (stable) is known to somewhat reliably break in a very very bad way (i.e, it hangs indefinitely, unless you're "lucky" enough to have the connection drop out ^^).
Switching to nightlies instead of stable may or may not help, which is why we've been recommending a manual upgrade in the two issues opened about it

.

That said, the update backend has *just* been updated in current nightlies, so this should (hopefully) never happen again.

And I'm currently experimenting with making the actual status/progress visible, instead of a simple blind spinner.
