It goes thought a lot but then says Aborting and never upgrades.

Is there a way to upgrade it?

This has so little ram only 512GB it can lock up on some things the fix is make the swap bigger and get a Max Endurance SD card.

Code: Select all

sudo swapoff -a
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
sudo swapon --show
echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab

But the

Not enough free disk space

The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 193 M free
space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 165 M of
disk space on '/boot'. You can remove old kernels using 'sudo apt
autoremove' and you could also set COMPRESS=xz in
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to reduce the size of your
initramfs.


Restoring original system state

Aborting

Can fix this making a boot out side that small petition. Next image they do should make that boot partition bigger to get around it can do this:

Code: Select all

mkdir /mnt/boot_temp
cp -r /boot/* /mnt/boot_temp
umount /boot
mount --bind /mnt/boot_temp /boot

Then can do the do-release-upgrade

say N to not reboot because have to mount /boot and then cp -r /mnt/boot_temp/* /boot

Then can reboot.

Hope they fix this in the next version. I downloaded h3-sd-friendlycore-focal-4.14-armhf-20240818.img.gz put it on a Max Endurance SD card and have to run 2 do-release-upgrade that you should do before setting any other things up.

Hope this helps some one it would of me when I posted for help about this.

It be neat if they came out with a 4GB RAM NanoPi NEO. All so A updated image.
