.b5 will have online and offline variants, but these have been since merged into one for RC1 and up and no new version of offline/online exists.

To upgrade, you should only need apt-get install openhab2 which will remove the old version automatically. From then on, upgrade will work as you intend.

THANK YOU!

this should be in OP, took me ages to find out why i didnt get the update…

[j_wittenzellner (John Wittenzellner)]

Thank you, I mistakenly copied the unstable repo. But now openhab won’t start anymore. It doesn’t even get to the point of creating logs, so I’m not sure where to start troubleshooting.

[Olivier92 (Roy)]

Thank you Dim,

I was right to worry. Unfortunattely, the method you describe is precisely the one I followed and which I retried (adding the clean in the middle):
wget -qO - ‘https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab’ | sudo apt-key add -
echo ‘deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 testing main’ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list
-> my files content are OK

sudo apt-clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I even tried a
sudo apt-get install openhab2

openhab2 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

But it remains stuck in beta5

Any clue? thanks

@Olivier92

I even tried asudo apt-get install openhab2

This should have worked… (as described here: openHAB 2.0.0 Release Candidate - #23 by Benjy)

What is the output of the following command?:

apt-cache policy openhab2

[Benjy (Ben Clark)]

If in doubt, try copying and pasting all of this into your terminal:

wget -qO - 'https://bintray.com/user/downloadSubjectPublicKey?username=openhab' | sudo apt-key add -
echo 'deb http://dl.bintray.com/openhab/apt-repo2 testing main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openhab2.list
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo service openhab2 stop
sudo apt-get install openhab2=2.0.0~RC1-1

But you can also hold off for the offical release of openHAB 2.0.0, which is just around the corner.

Many thank Kai, I would like to help you for documentation but i’m new of this project and i must understand many things before to write about open hub. (Now I need documentation )

Hey there,

I just loaded OpenHab2 RC1 on my Raspberry and got everything working for a couple of minutes. However after like 30min OpenHab somehow AUTOMATICALLY started uninstalling all GUI’s (even the default ones) and bindings I installed with PaperUI a couple of minutes before. Any known reason for this “self destruct” behavior?

I extracted the TAR.GZ file with RC1 on my Raspberry and copied the complete /conf/ folder from my productive installation (2.0 SNAPSHOT) to the RC1 folder, overwriting the default /conf/ folder.

I upgraded and all seems to be well for me. Upgrade was easy and my (relatively simple) OpenHAB install continues to run well.

@Terra

AUTOMATICALLY started uninstalling

Are you coming from an older build and have your installed bindings configured in addons.cfg?
Then this will happen … because of massive changes to the runtime in the last few weeks.

All extensions uninstall automatically when changing addons.cfg

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature, see here. Entries in addons.cfg always have priority. If you do not want this, remove the entries (or put them in comments).

[Python (Chris)]

I upgraded and everything is working great!
Seems to be more stable then my previous snapshot build i was on! Keep up the great work!

[PeteW (Pete Weare)]

Hi, I’ve just upgraded and am getting some very strange behaviour. Firstly, I’ve lost my UIs

When i login i just get this:

So no Basic UI or Classic UI. I also get no config for those UIs when i go into Paper UI.

It doesn’t seem to find any of my things - i had loads via Harmony Hub and Onkyo Amp. I’ve even tried uninstalling and re-installing both add-ons, still no joy.

I’ve also lost my KNX binding and can’t seem to enable it again. I believe its a 1.0 version but compatible with 2.0 and always used to show up in the available bindings. Actually, I’ve noticed that no 1.0 bindings are appearing in the paper UI add-ons config. They are all only labeled 2.0 STABLE.

Here’s my log…

Don’t think i’ve upgraded since november, just wondering if locations of config files have moved or something.

Help appreciated

Oh yes, they did:

Replacement of mapdb by jsondb

All, I feel sorry to tell you that the distro build #624 brings another breaking change, but as in the past, I am certain that it is for the better! There has been a long discussion around the problem that the Things that are created through the Paper UI are stored in a binary database (the mapdb, data to be found under userdata/mapdb), which is not readable or manually editable (e.g. for fixing or cleaning). @chris came up with a nice new implementation of a storage service (luckily, ESH is …

There have been a lot of other breaking changes, please read through:

[PeteW (Pete Weare)]

Thanks, I added a couple of update to addons.cnf which seems to have kicked things in. My UIs and things are all now back…thanks for the heads-up!
