Update from 9.3.0 -> 9.3.2 Fails

[NHWally]

In place update fails like this:

(see attached .png)


Are there any other diagnostics that I can look at?  Any way to do it manually besides re-flashing the entire thing?

Thanks
Wally

You can try manually updating but if that doesn't work then a fresh image + restore settings from backup is the only option after a failed in-place update.

Code:

sudo /var/www/util/system-updater.sh moode9

Problem Solved!
Thanks for the manual method.
The script stalled waiting for user input, and then aborted (somehow).

What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.

Would be nice if this was either fixed or documented ...

Thanks Tim!

Glad that worked :-)

I think when running the script interactively you will get the prompt but when it runs in the background as when launched from System Config the defaults are automatically accepted.

In your OP the log showed that the Linux kernel install failed.

Thanks Tim, had the same reported issue Pi4 updating to 9.3.0 saying it had failed, but then reported current version as 9.3.0.
Updating to 9.3.2 same message but no update.  Kernal failed to update
Manual process worked

I had the same update error. Is there a beginner's tutorial on how to perform the update manually, as Tim summarized?

Sure. It seems like a lot of steps but once you have done it a few times its no biggie :-)

1. Menu > Configure > System
2. Scroll down to the Security section
3. Turn on Web SSH
4. Scroll back down to the Security section
5. OPEN SSH terminal

6. Enter the userid and password that you specified in the Pi Imager when you wrote the moode image to your SD Card
7. You will now be at the SSH terminal command prompt

8. Highlight the command below and then right click > Copy

Code:

sudo /var/www/util/system-updater.sh moode9

9. Click next to the SSH terminal prompt to make that window active again

10. Right click and select "Paste from browser"
11. Right click in the "Paste into this box:" input field 
12. Select "Paste"
13 Click OK

14 The command should appear at the command prompt
15 Press Return or Enter key and the command will run

Thanks Tim, it worked perfectly for me. I'm sure this will also help any new users like me who have the same question.

This working for me. Thanks Tim
