Update on 31.8.2015: 1.1.7.28 will be rolled out to all our users today. The update process will take a long time to complete (especially the file system optimizations), please be patient.

In some cases (<1% so far in the early access group), it has taken about 1.5-2 hours where the upgrade was stuck at 95-99%. The on-device update texts have been adjusted to warn about this issue.

If you have developer mode enabled, you may enable persistent logging to help us get logs to identify this issue: In /etc/systemd/journald.conf, change Storage=volatile to Storage=automatic and create /var/log/journal before downloading the update. Change it back to volatile after the upgrade goes through.

As the issue remains open at the moment, we've added a new feature in 1.1.7.28 to enable persistent logs during software upgrade process. Should this issue reoccur while upgrading to 1.1.9, you will be able to retrieve logs from affected devices to assist the debugging.

Please ensure that you have ~1.5GB of free disk space before attempting to upgrade your Jolla. This release introduces a new build toolchain, which means almost all packages will get updated: The more space you have, the better. If connected to the internet, your Jolla should receive an OS update notification shortly.

As usual,

If you use phonehook from OpenRepos, uninstall it before upgrading
If you use patchmanager, revert all applied patches before upgrading
Do not reboot the device while the update is in progress.
The device screen may blank out during the update process, you may waken the display by a short press on the power key to monitor the progress.

Known issues

OS update process

OS update may remain at about 95% for a long time. If you have developer mode enabled, you may enable persistent logging to help us get logs to identify this issue: In /etc/systemd/journald.conf change Storage=volatile to Storage=automatic and create /var/log/journal before downloading the update. Change it back to volatile after the upgrade went through.
If you have phonehook from OpenRepos installed uninstall it before upgrading.
Currently, checks on available disk space happens very late during the OS upgrade process and will fail in the installation phase if the disk space is low. Normally there should be an error note asking you to free some disk space and try again, but in some marginal cases it might not be shown. Should this happen, free some disk space and try to install the OS update again.
OS update may fail due to some other reasons too, for example it may have installed some packages from the new release and still have something left from the old. If the device can boot up, you can try to recover by doing the following. If not, you can attempt to recover the device using the recovery mode.
- Delete the file /home/nemo/.cache/store-client/os-info
- Stop the store-client process (for e.g. pkill store-client)
- Reopen Settings app, check for updates again and attempt to install the OS update again
We have also noted that if the OS update is attempted while there is long queue of installation of apps from the Store, the system may end up in mixed state (for e.g. select all the apps from startup wizard, and start the system update already while the apps are being installed).
- In such cases, the OS update appears to be stalled, however it is just waiting for the installations to complete before attempting to upgrade the OS. Just wait patiently, the worst thing to do here is to reboot the device!

Other issues

calDAV and cardDAV services are in experimental stage. We have made some improvements with this update, however you may still face issues with certain service providers. Do report it in t.j.c. We'll take a look and try to sort it out.
Deleting photo from Camera roll may also delete the previous photo. If camera reel's pulley menu has "Show details" greyed out - means the photo hasn't been indexed yet. Deleting photo in such state will result in previous photo deleted too. If you wait long enough (~10-15seconds) for 'Show details' to become active, only that photo will get deleted when you choose to.

@Stefanix, or the Swedish name for the 30 Finnish lakes named Karhujärvi. I doubt there are any Finnish lakes starting with B, as that letter is seldomly used in the Finnish language.

It's a lake between Porvoo and Loviisa so I'd say it is very much a Finnish lake. Finland has a long history of Swedish rule though, so Swedish names are not that uncommon. See Järviwiki)

One question before doing the update: All previous updates told to disable openrepos repos before updating. Is this still needed and if so: How to do it? If it's not needed: Will the repos be deactivated and reactivated automatically?

You can do it with 1 copy/paste. Better safe than sorry.

alcalinebattery ( 2015-07-15 14:12:48 +0300 )edit

@V10lator: As 1.1.6.27 ∉ {0.99.5.11, 1.0.0.5, 1.0.1.10, 1.0.2.5, 1.0.3.8}, you don't have to disable third party repos before updating.

Good lord, no, it hasn't been necessary for a long time. Every time there's an upgrade somebody asks this question. During the update procedure, external repositories no longer interfere, fiddling with openrepos is an unnecessary waste of time.

@V10lator we don't apply patches until they are accepted by upstream into their master, to avoid problems in case upstream fixes the problem different. Once upstream takes them into master branch, we normally apply them also and don't wait until upstream made a new release.

Still no reliable, dependable email notification for every new email received?

Sorry to say guys, but if you can't/won't address the basics that every other platform already has covered and does well, then I think it's time to jump overboard (and I say this with a very heavy heart, having invested waaay too much time, money, effort and misplaced hope in the Maemo/MeeGo/Sailfish project since falling in love with the Nokia 770 in 2005).

The Update was stuck at 99% for me too. I waitet at least one hour and the update finished successful at last. >1 hour at 99% without any indication of some progress is problematic.

The update did not finish successfully (I have no openrepos nor patches installed).

After 95% there was a screen which informed that the phone couldn't be updated. However, after reboot the phone was reporting that the version is now 1.1.7.24 and gave a "system update available" notification. I tried to check for updates but no update was available.

After that I did as guided in the release notes above:

Delete the file/home/nemo/.cache/store-client/os-info
Stop the store-client process (for e.g. pkill store-client)
Reopen Settings app, check for updates again and attempt to install the OS update again

After step 2 there were no updates available and the current status can be seen below (wrong lake image). Question: did the update process finish succesfully or not?

Easy way to check - under setting do you now have android settings? If so, the update was successful. That is one of the things this update has brought.

Aashish ( 2015-07-15 17:40:12 +0300 )edit

Yes, it's there. But that's just one small part of the update. I'm curious was the update fully installed or not.

skvark ( 2015-07-15 17:44:53 +0300 )edit

At least store-client wasn't updated. I did pkcon install store-client and rebooted but now the updates section in setting seems to hang forever (loading spinner, looking for updates).

Warning!

I think I messed up the upgrade by downloading the upgrade and then installing an application with Warehouse before the OS upgrade. I think trying to install that program made the OS upgrade begin without rebooting the phone as it started installing many things that are unrelated to the program I was installing.

Now my phone is partially upgraded. And my phone shows a notification that there is an update available while it shows as 1.1.7.24 installed in the settings.

Hello,

the phone asked me to prepare the update installation by cleaning up the file system (btrfs balance?). While doing so, the phone hugh up (jolla logo) and does not boot any more! I was able to back up all data via recovery mode using

mkdir -p /mysd
mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mysd/
btrfs restore -i -v /dev/mmcblk0p28 /mysd/
umount  /mysd

But even the device factory reset does not work: It complains about failed deleting files because of read-only filesystems.

Any hints?

EDITED 2015-07-16: Solved. File system was full and not able to balance. Removed some snapshots and balanced manually. Then the factory reset worked.
