![]() ![]() Sorry for the ugly command needed to clean up the breakage of version 3.1.6. I’m going to modify my previous comment to provide a command that avoids this complication. I’ll update the suggested command, but if you get into a state where you are not able to upgrade to version 3.1.7 or later, please type the following command to clean up your OSTree origin file: sudo sed -i s?refspec=.*?refspec=eos:os/eos/amd64/eos3? /ostree/deploy/eos/deploy/*.origin The bad news is that if you ran the sudo ostree admin deploy command in my previous comment, while you reverted to a version with working WiFi, your OSTree origin file would have been modified such that future upgrades would be possible. Good news! Endless OS version 3.1.7 is now released with the fix for the impacted Realtek WiFi chips, so upgrades are back on. (We always keep around one previous OS version in case of catastrophic upgrade issues such as this, but this is the first time that we’ve actually needed to use it.) I also wish we had a simple way for a user to revert to the previous version without typing a long command in the terminal. I am disappointed that such a critical bug slipped through our testing, and I’m really sorry for any inconvenience. This should put you back in 3.1.5 (or whatever older version you had prior to the upgrade to 3.1.6) with working WiFi, and once we have a 3.1.7 release with the proper fix you can try to upgrade again. Then, shut down the computer (you may have to hold the power button for five seconds to complete the shutdown), and restart the computer. You will be asked for your admin user password. If you receive an OS upgrade and find that your WiFi stops working, you can revert to the previous version of the OS via the following command in the terminal window (search the desktop for “term”, then copy/paste or carefully type the command – the punctuation and number of spaces matters): x=$(ostree admin status | grep ' eos' | awk ' We will work to fix it as soon as possible – hopefully within one day. Most other hardware models are not impacted by this problem. If you have an Endless or Mission computer, we recommend not upgrading yet. We just found a problem with a broken WiFi driver on the 3.1.6 version for some Endless hardware models. Security fix: We fixed a security issue on dual-boot systems – Windows files are now protected from access by non-admin Endless users.Transmission – This is now our recommended BitTorrent client and thus we have renamed FrostTorrent back to its upstream name, FrostWire.These apps are available via the App Center. These apps are available via desktop right-click. Video app bugfixes: We fixed some visual glitches that you might have experienced when playing videos inside apps. Inkscape bugfix: We fixed support for some extensions for Inkscape. We also improved the accuracy of progress bars for external app installations/updates so that you can now better predict the time it will take to complete. Upgraded browser: We upgraded the built-in browser to Chromium 58.Īpp Center speed improvements: We have sped up the App Center’s launch time by avoiding unnecessary metadata updates from some flatpak repos.Īpp Center localization: We fixed user interface translations and cut-off subtitles in Bengali and Hindi versions.Īpp names and thumbnail images: We fixed the names and thumbnail images for some core applications.Īpp updates: We fixed a problem where some apps could never be successfully updated and fixed an occasional problem where an app or runtime update would complete successfully but the “Update” button would remain (a similar bug had been fixed for 3.1.5 but only for “Install” and not for “Update”). If you upgrade to this version, your system will automatically apply this fix to existing home folders. Security fix: We changed the default permissions for home folders to not be readable by other non-admin users. May 10 Update: OS upgrades to 3.1.7 are now available – see below if you got stuck without working WiFi or without the ability to update to 3.1.7 New Features and Bugfixes May 9 Update: OS upgrades to 3.1.6 are temporarily disabled – see comments below – 3.1.7 will be out later today to fix a Realtek WiFi driver problem
