9.0.2 in-place update

[TheOldPresbyope]

I just ran the in-place update successfully on several different moOde 9.0.1 players - Pi 3B+, Pi 4B, and Pi 5B.


On a Pi 3A+, however, the system went catatonic part way through the steps. I suspect the 512MB device ran out of memory.

As a test, I ran the in-place update again on a fresh moOde 9.0.1 install on the same Pi 3A+ but this time with swap enabled. The update was a success.

I'm guessing it would fail on other small-memory Pi models too.

Since I seem to be batting well south of 500 these days, I suggest someone else check my guess.

I'll add to the TODO list to try and repro

I'm old-school, and always enable swap on any linux boxes I build.

Was there a good reason to disable it?

Could this be made configurable in the GUI?

Cheers,

It's a legacy config from the early days of 2013 and given that moode has such a small memory footprint there was no need to ever have swap.

My TODO list has "test in-place update on 3A+ 512M and see if Kent's issue can be reproduced". If for some reason the in-place update blows up and it's because of OOM then I'll investigate further. Maybe enabling swap b4 update and turning off after, I dunno.

No issues on my end but it did take a while.

Good to know I was wrong.

Guess I was just too quick to think it had died. “All good things come to those who wait” was one of my grandmother’s many aphorisms that went in one ear and out the other when I was a kid.

On the plus side, the upgrade in kernel and firmware seems to have resolved the BT instability I was experiencing with 9.0.1 trying to output to a Sonos Move.

Fantastic :-)

Kernel devs to the rescue!
