Prevent update
-
@flohack Is it known why downgrading is such a widespread problem, and are there plans to overcome it?
-
@cliffcoggin In general I do not suffer from problems when I am downgrading, lets ignore the visual detail for the moment.
What you should do: Before changing channels you should install any pending update. Chances are high that your device downloaded a nightly update when you are in devel. If you dont install that, but switch to stable immediately it can become stuck in some way. Thats the thing I would always do, install all pending updates before changing channels, even if it takes much longer.
Well plans for fixing it: We have so much to do its nothing that has an ETA yet.
-
@flohack Thank you. By chance I had a Development update immediately before downgrading to RC. I wondered at the time if they were related.
-
That was also the case with me once.
I did not want another update on the RC channel, but simply switch to stable. And then I had to realize that I first have to install the upcoming update from the RC channel before I can make the switch to stable. These are the little challenges that we non-programmers have to do to understand the trickier things and contexts of programming.
It's annoying sometimes, but it makes you feel like you're part of the community.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

@mario-ch Well even as developer it annoys me af
its not a need to be a programmer to understand this, its just a nasty UX bug... -
@Flohack
After six weeks of repeated failures to make stable channel stick, I have finally succeeded with the arrival of OTA 18.
In the interim several RC updates of about 450 MB have downloaded but not installed. Should I attempt to delete them, and if so how?
I have a screenshot of the update page but can not see how to attch it. -
@cliffcoggin A swip right should show the dust bin of doom if you want to go that way but probably no need.
-
@lakotaubp Thanks. I was not sure if it was safe to delete them, hence my question. The four older RC versions 106-109 deleted by swiping. The most recent version 110 does not give me that option. It is waiting at the top of the list to be installed, so I shall have to make a conscious effort not to press the install button.
At least I have gained 1800 MB by getting rid of the others.
-
@cliffcoggin Your next updates willjust appear above that 110 one. You shouldget the chance to remove it by then.
