<![CDATA[waydroid update]]>Hi all

I recently saw a notification from the "Waydroid Updater" to install a new image inside of waydroid itself. Can this be done from within waydroid or should I update the image from outside directly? And do I need to set r/w flags for the filesystem before attempting the upate?

thanks 👋

Maybe the update funtionality broke because you used the terminal way of updating in the first place?

  • Try a reinstall off Waydroid?
  • Try looking in the logging app?

I did the update from Ubuntu Touch terminal. Then, inside waydroid, it still remained "Unknown".

Everything is the same with the only difference of LineageOS being the today's version.

I could try an update from ubports terminal - so from outside waydroid, what do you think?

Your date is lower so it is behind. On the other hand, the date off the security update is the same. It looks like the updater does not work? It can not recognise the date of the latest installed update. So that is why is shows 'unknown'?

You could try updating your way with sudo waydroid upgrade and see if the date of the last installed version changes to mine

Then you should be able to see the installed version with date. Mine is showing 18.1-20231027- VANILLA-waydroid_arm64

There is also a line that shows the Android-security updates with the date 6 october.

I'll try post a message here when there is another update so you can check if you see it too and then update like described above by me.

What I did was from ubports terminal: sudo waydroid upgrade. Now, inside waydroid, in Settings -> System -> Waydroid Updater I see System Image: Unknown, Vendor Image: Unknown. But the Waydroid Updater menu entry in Settings -> System says underneath "Updated to Android 11" - so I guess I updated it... But I don't know why it says "Unknown"...

Where can I find that inside waydroid? I can see it in Settings -> Installed Apps but I cannot find it to launch it...

You can see an update in the notificationbar at the upper edge of the screen
Also settings - system - waydroid updater

Just click download and when that is done click restart. Just as simple as that 🙂
