KiwiSDR fails to update from 1.390 to current 1.442 [bad filesystem, fixed]

Haven't had the KiwiSDR in service for sometime. Reconnected everything and noticed that the version remains at 1.390 for a few days now. The web admin interface reports v1.442 is available and I expected an auto-update to occur, but to no avail. I just tried force software build selection and when I looked at the log I found the following, any help would be appreciated.

  • Almost certainly a trashed filesystem. I can fix it, but can't connect at the moment. Can you get it back online?

  • Thanks jks


    I have it back online, however not registered with any of the public sites currently. Let me know what you need maybe via DM.

  • I'm trying to rebuild, but the compiler is crashing multiple times during the rebuild (while compiling some of the more complex source code). This is extremely bad. When I rerun the build it eventually gets further on. So it's probably not damaged compiler files.

    Any chance this Kiwi is running hot?

  • Nothing hot to the touch. Is there a thermocouple anywhere onboard that reports and can be accessed?

    thanks again for you help.

  • I looked for a V1.442 image to download to put it on an sdcard to reimage the kiwi but I wasn't able to locate one. Do you think this would possibly work?

  • It's a huge headache to construct sd card images of the current release. So I don't do it often. v1.390 was the last. We all depend on the autoupdate over the network.

    The build is progressing now, but very slowly. Something seems to be taking a lot of cache space in main memory. I don't understand why. There are no processes that seem out of place.

  • I guess it is best if I don't muck around on the admin interface while you are watching the build?

  • Okay, it running v1.442 now. The build ran without problems. Including at the very end where a lot of memory is needed to construct the final files. Super slow though. I don't get it. Let's see how it does from here.

  • Much appreciated!

    I need to take it offline to do some home network reconfiguration.

    Do you have a feeling this is going to be a reoccurring issue with new updates for my kiwi?

    Let's wait and see. If so, we should just reinstall the entire system from an sd image and update.

  • So it automatically updated to v1.443 and took the usual amount of time to build. So I think we can call this one good for now.

  • Great news, thanks again for your help!
