Upgrade to Nurmonjoki fails (2014 edition Jolla phone) [answered]
asked 2018-09-28 11:50:19 +0200
It took unusually long time for the upgrade to be downloaded, and all attempts to install it fail. I get an error message and a reboot button. On rebooting I return to my phone as it was before the attempt to upgrade.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I am thinking of deleting the downloaded upgrade file/s and trying to download again but not sure where to look for them?
Maybe a conflicting package ? In my case, an older version of the Navit app was conflicting (the RPM couldn't install).
Try to retry the upgrade over SSH console / command line (

Either by using the special tool designed by Jolla (
btrfs-balancer balance, you can also find nice GUIs on openrepos) as the GUI installer does, or by running the btrfs commands manually (btrfs balance start -v -dusage=60 -musage=60 /).Speaking of BTRFS, switch the partition's metadata into single mode (as currently recommended by the BTRFS devs for flash/ssd), this saves some extra space.
