I just upgraded from OH3 RC2 to the stable 3.0 release. Afterwards I rebooted, and even though the service is running, I don’t get any log entrys, no UI, nothing. What can I do?! I upgraded through the milestones and the RCs, and never had a problem.

hey man, sounds like the same story as for me. Installer/Updater didn’t install Java 11 for me, was still on 8. openhabian Menu 46 = Java 11 Install my steps to success in short: check the log = cat /var/log/openhab/openhab.log check if you can log in into console = sudo ssh openhab@localhost …

What branch in openHABian-config do I have to use? stable? Or openHAB 3? When I update everything via openHABian-config, and try to load a backup, it seems to be looking in the openHAB 2 backup folder, because it only lists backups from my OH2… This is really frustrating. Please someone help. …

Since OH stable was announced an hour ago, I would guess that openHABian needs to be updated before you can use it. But I could be wrong about that.

Ok, openHABian-config told me that OH3 was released, so I did upgrade right away. Guess I shouldn’t have. Now nothing is working and I have no clue what to do. OH3 RC2 was running just fine before, and also all of the other Milestones and RC1. I’ll try to be patient and manually close all my rolle…

Oh, well if that’s the case then it sounds like the update was already made. I’m guessing you didn’t make a backup. I’d try rebooting again and just letting it sit for awhile before prodding at it too much.

Fortunately I did create a backup before. I already rebooted several times, tried all the buttons to install openHAB 3 / upgrading the system in openHABian-config, now I was even able to restore my OH3 backup, but the system is still not running. But I do get something in the openhab.log now: [20:…

That’s weird that your backup isn’t working. I’d be inclined to do a scratch install on fresh SD card, and then restore your backup there. That’s my personal plan for upgrading, as I don’t want to mess with my working 2.5 installation.

I meant an OH backup, not a backup of the whole SSD. openHAB isn’t working at all, so it makes sense that it doesn’t work after importing a backup, I guess. There seem to be dependencies missing, I have no clue why that is. I am hoping that I don’t have to do everything from scratch… I have other …

Ugh. Hopefully you can get it working, but at least you know exactly what needs to be done! I have a habit of making complete copies of my SD card whenever I do anything major, but that’s obviously not as easy with an SSD. I’m looking forward to implementing the SD mirroring when I jump into OH3.

I don’t know what needs to be done :slight_smile: At this point I’m just pressing buttons in openhabian-config (switching between “stable” and “openHAB 3” branch, hitting “Install or upgrade to openHAB release 3” over and over again.. but so far, that didn’t help. I’m hoping some of the gurus might…

openHAB 3 not working after upgrading RC2 to stable release

This discussion looks like it might be similar, but I would have expected you to already have Java 11 since you were on RC2. So it might just be that you need to clear the cache.
