This should actually be the case since create tmp folder if it does not exist by kaikreuzer · Pull Request #468 · openhab/openhab-distro · GitHub.
Is the oh2_dir_layout not being executed on an APT installation…?

I am not talking about the installation process.

After the update of 2.1 did not go well, I tried (successfully) deleting these folders, like Benjy suggested.

But starting the service did not recreate the folder.

I have another problem: my Z-wave (AEOTEC usb-stick + 6 x ZW100 Multisensor 6 + ZG8101 Garage tilt sensor) stopped function.

I have the 2.1 Z-Wave binding - I stopped/started - unistalled/installed the binding same issue:

[me.event.ThingStatusInfoChangedEvent] - ‘zwave:serial_zstick:ed572ecb’ changed from OFFLINE (BRIDGE_OFFLINE): Controller is offline to OFFLINE (COMMUNICATION_ERROR): zwave.thingstate.serial_notfound

I have sym-links for my devices: ( AEOTEC Zwave stick - RFXCOM usb - USB-serial link to Nikobus)

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 jun 30 21:45 ttyUSB-1002 -> ttyUSB0

When I remove/plug in the AEOTEC stick, I correctly see the dev/ttyACM0 disappearing & reappearing .
It appears in my log see above - but I do not understand the error ,msg ?

any suggestions on what I can trry ?

thx !

Great! Thanks a lot to Kai and all the contributors!
I am really happy with OH and don’t miss a thing!
Great work!

@Kai, maybe I have missed something, but was information about the release plans some where available? If not, could that be more transparent for developers and others? I think there are many developers which are not maintainers like me and at least I didn’t know anything about the 2.1 release before it just popped out. If I have known, I would have tried to do couple of fixes and improvements before that.

When installing make sure you don’t a have a “backup” sub-directory in your OH root. Like I did. If you do, move/rename before you start the upgrade. This was for Windows Auto update.

Synology Package are now up-to-date, too!
Try it, please:

There is some problems with MCP23017 binding and OpenHabian 2.1, in previous version it worked properly now openhabian cannot start if this binding is installed. More information here Problem with MCP23017 under Openhab 2.1

Yessssss! Images are now refreshing properly in the basicui! :heart:

54

Thanks. Just before I get to installing it, do I only need to backup the /openHAB2/conf folders? Or will they automatically get synced across?

55

Depending on your installation method use the official docs for backup and restore:

http://docs.openhab.org/installation/linux.html

The app cniweb gave me is for Synology. Will check that link too. Thanks.

57

Sorry, did not notice it was for Synology. …

It does not for me :frowning: I can’t install it

62

Thanks for that. I’ll hold off on installing for now then

FYI for anyone running on Windows and attempting to use the new update scripts listed here, you need Powershell v 5 for all the commands to work properly.

You can verify your version of Powershell by running $PSVersionTable.PSVersion in Powershell.

Was openHAB 2.1 built with eclipse-smarthome 0.9.0.b5 or the 0.9.0-SNAPSHOT at the date of release?
