Hi there,

I am new to efw, and need to upgrade to 2.4.1. but can't seem to find out where to do this?
Could somebody please point me to a howto, etc? it asks me for a username?

regards

Marc

OK, sorry about that, just found out how to do this......

Login to the shell from the console or with ssh
Then run
./efw-update
Choose production
Your username is the email address you registered with on the endian coimmunity site.
Once that is done (Should take a while with lots of spam)
./reboot
Smile, you are updated

before you run this ensure that you have taken a backup of your config, as its clear many are finding that 2.4.1 has no end of issues,
1 which leaves you with an un bootable system.

also make sure you have downloaded the 2.4 CD iso as you might need it, assuming you upgraded a lower revision.

hi there,

I stupidly followed a post that told me to


 rpm -ivh h**p://updates.endian.org/upgrade.rpm


and run the update.  Now the whole upgrade process seems borked:

efw-upgrade
Loading cache...
Updating cache...                          ######################################################### [100%]

Fetching information for 'efw-community'...
-> h**p://pollywaffle:*@updates.endian.org/devel/repodata/repomd.xml
repomd.xml                                                                                           [ 25%]
error: Failed acquiring release file for 'efw-community':

Channels have no new packages.
ERROR: Error during upgrade

Thoughts?

Hi !

I´m facing the same problem. Seems to be a problem withe the endian-server itself.
Said that there´s no statement from endiem themselves.
Probably they have not noticed it yet...

Best regards,

Support knows about the problem: bugs.endian.it/view.php?id=3363
Probably it´s best to watch that thread/bug.

Best regards
