Revision history [back]

Updated Jolla1 from 2.0.4, but faced a set of problems, here's the sequence:

1. Jolla store shows no updates for my apps. It doesn't display HereWeGo (despite installed a while ago with store app!)
2. terminal => pkcon refresh, then pkcon update =>all up to date.
3. update via gui(settings) to 2.0.5 => failed, needed to reboot. Some loops here, with failed installs, re-download, upgrade failure, reboot. Nothing helpfull ( for me) in logs.
4. pkcon refresh, then pkcon update =>all up to date.
5. version --dup => gets and install updates for sailfish maps and ytplayer. Reboot, hardlock with red led => battery remmoval reboot.
6. update via gui(settings) to 2.0.5 => starts, reboots after cca 30s
7. still 2.0.4. system --dup => starts what seems to be the upgrade => many packages after, reboot .
8. finally 2.0.5. terminal => pkcon get-updates => shows many things to update. wtf
9. version --dup apparently does nothing, no updates - "try later"
10. pkcon get-updates => shows all up to date. wtf 2 (nothing seemed installed between 8 and 10)

I ended up by upgrading, but not exactly smooth.

I really find this unelegant as compared to dpkg & apt in debian ( never faced similar issues with debian packages).

All in one: which app/servicecentralises the packages, system versions, etc? there are few applications, each seems to have its idea about who's to update and who not (version, pkcon/zyper, jolla store) - yet some parts overlap in mysterious ways.

Things can be kept together with "version" & pkcon/zyppr (although unclear who does what). But Jolla Store application seems pretty useless/broken, never shows anything to update, HereWeGo just disappeared at some point.

Or am I doing something wrong?

[Edited for readability] Updated Jolla1 from 2.0.4, but faced a set of problems, here's the sequence:problems detailed at the end of the post. The update was performed with version --dup after various GUI failures that left the phone half updated. I still have two problems:

1. Currently the phone works, is updated, but when checking for updates the settings GUI displays "Waiting for connection..." despite being connected (no matter if WLAN or WIFI) , and silently aborts after a while.
2. The system displays a "System update/ v2.0.5 available" - but that's the version already running. Is this related to the above point?

Question: How to solve these problems?

Sequence of the upgrade

1. Check if all up to date: updates for my apps in Jolla store shows no updates for my apps. It doesn't display store. HereWeGo not listed at all (despite installed a while ago with store Store app!)
2. terminal => pkcon refresh, pkcon refresh, then pkcon update pkcon update =>all up to date.
3. update via gui(settings) to 2.0.5 => failed, failed with a generic GUI message (no details), needed to reboot. Some loops here, with failed installs, Tried once or twice, re-download, upgrade failure, reboot. Nothing helpfull ( for me) special spotted in logs.
4. pkcon refresh, pkcon refresh, then pkcon update =>all pkcon update again => all up to date.
5. version --dup date (expectedly).
6. version --dup => gets and install updates for sailfish maps and ytplayer. Reboot, hardlock with red led => battery remmoval reboot.
7. removal.
8. new attempt to update via gui(settings) to 2.0.5 => starts, reboots after cca 30s
9. still 2.0.4. system --dup version --dup => starts what seems to be the upgrade => many packages after, reboot .reboot.
10. finally 2.0.5. terminal => pkcon get-updates => shows many things to update. wtf
11. version --dup wtf
12. version --dup apparently does nothing, no updates - "try later"
13. pkcon get-updates nothing ( "no updates, try later" etc message)
14. pkcon get-updates => shows all up to date. wtf 2 (nothing seemed installed between 8 and 10)
