Thank you for your helpfulness!
Yes, I think the same.
It’s only strange that I get this answer when I enter this command:
Somewhere are files from the new version of grafana on my system…
This command
will remove all config files and give you a clean start when you re-install.
@robb01:
I’m without words.
Now I have done:

Version 6.6.1 (commit: 21bf8b71bc, branch: HEAD)
Hello guys,
Does nobody have a possible solution?
Thank you for your support!
It seems this is where your problem lies. It looks to me like the config files are being over-written by this earlier installation. I haven’t previously come across grafana-rpi.
I would do something like
sudo find / -iname \grafana-rpi
and see if you can find any config or cfg files.
Has anybody upgraded to 7.0 yet? I tried installing via dpkg but the service didn’t start. I was able to revert to 6.6.2 without issues though…
This is what I tried:
sudo apt-get install -y adduser libfontconfig1
wget https://dl.grafana.com/oss/release/grafana_7.0.0_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i grafana_7.0.0_armhf.deb
I’m on a RPi, during upgrade (via “openhabian-config”) from 2.5.4 to 2.5.5 I got grafana 7.0.0 without any problem.
In my case updating openHAB from 2.5.3 to 2.5.5 my RPi via openhabian-config Grafana does not start any more (it was also updatet to v7.0).
If I call grafana-cli (or grafana-server) manually on console I get also following error:
/usr/share/grafana/bin/grafana-cli: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /usr/share/grafana/bin/grafana-cli)
I also tried to solve it by updating core libs:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
No success.
I’m on a Pi4B, updated via 02 “Upgrade all installed software packages to their newest version”
I remember that I got a warning during update from 2.5.3 to 2.5.4 that a grafana setting file would be overwritten, I skipped that and stayed so on grafana 6.x.
Last update on 2.5.5 was then flawless without any warning or so.
are you running Stretch or Buster? Maybe you need to get to Buster if you don’t have it? That’s just a guess - I don’t have a way to test this theory.
Yes, I still use Stretch. That is a good point. I will try to switch to Buster.
But I think on the other hand Grafana then should stop update to version 7 on Stretch …
Edit: after upgrade to Buster (using this how-to: http://baddotrobot.com/blog/2019/08/29/upgrade-raspian-stretch-to-buster/) Grafana 7.0 works again!
As confirmed here, it is a stretch issue.
Our friends at Domoticz were hit hard by this (Domoticz stopped working and they needed upgrading to Buster to get it working again after an automatic update of Domoticz).
Someone over there did find a solution to still make it work on Stretch: https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=31157&start=180#p240741.
I followed these instructions and have Grafana 7.0.0 running again on an RPi 3B+ with Stretch.
Thanks for the workaround.
It seems that they plan on building a version with lower glibc dependency, so maybe we just have to wait a little: https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/24844
If I get too impatient, I’ll try the testing repo as suggested 
Did someone have solved it before? I couldn’t solve it so far.
According to v7.0.0 ARM64 binaries don't work on Ubuntu 18.04 · Issue #24844 · grafana/grafana · GitHub the build environment was moved to a stretch based build system three days ago. The latest stable release ( 7.0.1 ) was made available 5 days ago.
So you either may upgrade to buster in case you are still on stretch or wait a few more days until the next release is made available. Alternatively you may install an older version.
I’m not specialist on linux, then the best is to way for new release. Thanks o much for your support.
I had the same problems when my Grafana was updated to 7.0 by an apt upgrade. As I don’t need Grafana 7 for a particular reason, the solution for me was
sudo apt-get install grafana=6.7.3
I´m not seeking a way to update Grafana. Infact my request is more, how to get rid of it.
Originally long time ago I used openhabian-config to install grafana and influxdb. But I have no need of Grafana, as I run it on another server (windows). And since there are no way to choose to only install Influxdb from openhabian-config, I now seek a way to get rid of it…
But before I do, I wonder, how would updating openhab2 react, if Granfa is no longer at the system?
grafana and influxdb are not installed together with / are not part of the bare openhab software.
So in case you deinstall grafana and then do an update of openhab only openhab will be updated.
For updating the linux package management is being used.
They are, if you install them via openhabian-config, which I said… They are then installed together.
