Potential problem with upgrade of Allo Boss2

[mashwell]

I have an older Allo Boss2 that I use as a roon endpoint intermittently. I last updated it, 9/24/2024. I recently got it out to test it and do a moode upgrade. I first had to change the gateway setting in the Network config as I had changed ISPs and needed to change my router IP to 192.168.1.2. Next I checked for updates, and the box found a current update version. When I ran the upgrade, it looked like it partially installed. The kernel upgrade (to 6.6.74) appeared to work but the install of moode-player 9.2.6 1moode1 failed and the process exited at step 4 of 32. 

After running the partial upgrade, The System config tab shows that moode is running the current version (9.2.6) and if I check to see if there is an update available it doesn't find any.

Also, when I try to access the Renderer config page, I just get a blank white page.  All of the other config pages show up without issue.

I'm assuming that the update only partially worked.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Have a look at this thread.

Well, that certainly explains some things....thanks. Need to decide how much effort I want to put in this. I'm just using Moode for enabling my Boss2 as a roon endpoint. Think I might try converting it to RoPieee first. I have several other Pi/DAC combo's running RoPieee and they have been much easier to maintain. Not Moode's fault but the Boss2 has been way more of a pain to keep functional than any other component in my whole house system.

For sure if u are just running roonbridge then go with Ropieee.
