`events.log` doesn’t contain events after upgrade from M5 to RC1. This can be fixed by editing `userdata/etc/log4j2.xml` and changing all occurrences of `smarthome.event` to o`penhab.event`. ---

There is another process running as user openhab, @Erling screenshot shows it as 413. Identify this process, stop it and upgrade again. @Benjy What does the usermod do here? Is it really needed for updates ? ---

If your logs are full of warnings like these `Field 'firmwareStatus' could not be eliminated: Can not set final org.openhab.core.thing.firmware.dto.FirmwareStatusDTO field org.openhab.core.io.rest.core.thing.EnrichedThingDTO.firmwareStatus to null value` when you go to the settings in the UI, that’s my fault and a fix is on the way: [[REST] Add firmwareStatus to things in summary mode by ghys · Pull Request #1932 · openhab/openhab-core · GitHub](https://github.com/openhab/openhab-core/pull/1932) If you’re so annoyed and can’t wait to get rid of these messages, do a `bundle:update org.openhab.core.io.rest.core https://github.com/ghys/openhab-core/releases/download/rc1-rest-fix/org.openhab.core.io.rest.core-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar` (disclaimer: in theory you shouldn’t update untested bundles like this 😝) ---

After migration from MR5 → RC1 my rules triggered on Item-State-Changes did not fire. Manual execution of the rules worked fine. After an additional reboot, the problem went away without doing other changes. ---

Thanks, in my case it’s PID 553: `openhab 553 0.8 1.2 144004 49088 ? Ssl 21:33 0:11 node /usr/bin/frontail --ui-highlight --ui-highlight-preset /usr/lib/node_modules/frontail/preset/openhab.json -t openhab -l 2000 -n 200 /var/log/openhab/openhab.log /var/log/openhab/events.log` when I kill this process it starts again with another PID and then I get the same message but with the new PID. Upgrade errors out with the same message. ---

Don‘t kill the process, do a clean ```auto sudo service frontail stop ``` or whatever command it takes on your system. I normaly stop frontail before upgrading, as I also delete the logs. ---

ah perfect, thanks! After stopping the frontail service the upgrade passed fine. Weird as it’s the first time I needed to do this. ---

Hi All! Tried to upgrade from M5 to RC1 in docker by replacing with new image. It got stuck in endless loop as it says “You are already on Openhab 3.0.0.M5” and restarts up upgrade process. If I put M5 image back it boots properly. ---

> [@hmerk](#): > > @Benjy What does the usermod do here? Is it really needed for updates ? When the upgrade detects that the home directory is still `/var/lib/openhab2` it changes it to the correct path. I hadn’t realised that openHABian still uses the `openhab` user for frontail (it shouldn’t do (cc @mstormi)). I’ll release a workaround. ---

@Wolfy Yes, when using portainer you have to delete the ‘OPENHAB\_VERSION’-Environmentvariable of your OpenHAB-Instance before doing the upgrade. ---

> [@Benjy](#): > > I hadn’t realised that openHABian still uses the openhab user for frontail (it shouldn’t do) Right it shouldn’t and I’d think it doesn’t on fresh installs in quite a long time. If you have installed openHABian/frontail before this got fixed though you’ll still have the old user. Re-installing frontail via menu might help there. ---

The ‘RC1-2’ might be the version with the fix, that @ysc mentioned above, already applied (but I’m not 100% sure) In that case your commands would be: ```auto wget https://openhab.jfrog.io/openhab/list/openhab-linuxpkg/pool/main/3.0.0~RC1/openhab_3.0.0~RC1-2_all.deb sudo apt install ./openhab_3.0.0~RC1-2_all.deb ``` If you do a fresh install anyway, I would try it out and having a look in the logs after install - if anything looks good, you’re probably good to go. 🙂 ---
