Apollo online update

[msuk]

Hi all,

I am running Apollo 001 and when I try and perform an online update the solo2 says it is upgrading and then switches off. When I power back on the image is still 001.

Please advise.

Hi,
this is because the packet vuplus-shutdown must be updated. You have the following options:

1. backup, fresh flash, restore which is the easiest way. You have to wait until there is a new official apollo available. Reflash of #1 would not help.

2. connect with telnet and then:
opkg remove vuplus-shutdown
now you must reboot
opkg update
opkg upgrade
if upgrade worked without shutdown you can reboot and opkg install vuplus-shutdown and then you are on #3.
if box shutdown during upgrade again you have to use option 1.

In other words .. don't update thru software update ? for now ?

No, that's not what Trial advised you; he gave you two options.

^^^^^^^ Same for me. opkg remove vuplus-shutdown causes the Solo2 to go into deep standby. Waiting patiently for a new complete image. Regards.

Hi,

Same problem with Apollo 005. Box switches off when trying to update to from 004 to 005. Option 2 not working. When will Apollo 005 be available for download?

Yes, we are still aware of the issue. 006 being built now, might still be an issue for some boxes though.
