Thanks, looks like /DietPi/dietpi/.update_available wasn't cleared after the update. Only when you ran dietpi-update 2. I'll take a look.

cat: /tmp/find_network_index: No such file or directory Interesting, i'll see if we can track this one down in the code.

@Fourdee

... wasn't cleared after the update.

This will happen to me:

while first boot up after dietpi-update 1 v6.1 ==> v6.2
and first boot up after auto-reboot by install some software for testing (eg. ProFTP, pihole, let’s encrypt) on fresh updated v6.2 image via dietpi-software

@Fourdee

it's happen again, after switching de_DE.UTF-8 => en_GB.UTF-8 => reboot

Thanks, looks like /DietPi/dietpi/.update_available wasn't cleared after the update.

@k-plan

Thanks 👍

Code checks out, cant see why this is reporting update available when file does not exist:

    UPDATE_AVAILABLE=0
    UPDATE_AVAILABLE_VERSION='' #-1 = image required, other value=latest version

    Obtain_Update_Available(){

        #Update Available
        if [ -f /DietPi/dietpi/.update_available ]; then

            UPDATE_AVAILABLE=1
            UPDATE_AVAILABLE_VERSION=$(cat /DietPi/dietpi/.update_available)

        fi

    }

mmm

/boot/dietpi/.update_available

Think I got it, ramdisk issue.

Fourdee on 20 Feb 2018

Hmm ... for me the question is, why is it in /boot/dietpi/.update_available and will not be deleted, if no update exist?

k-plan on 20 Feb 2018

@k-plan

Ramdisk simply copies all back to /boot during shutdown, so we need to manually remove that file during the process. Ensuring that only when dietpi-update 2 is run during boot, update status will be correct at time of banner print.

Basically, if you shutdown the system with /DietPi/dietpi/.update_available, /boot/dietpi/.update_available will always be restored back to /DietPi/dietpi/.update_available during boot. And if the banner is displayed prior to dietpi-update 2 finishing (which is threaded I believe), it will incorrectly show update available.
Fixed with https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/commit/fb213fcb91e7054dd8780a7bb4bbc60a671a432d

so we need to manually remove that file during the process.

:wink:

Yes, correct. If you move it out of the way it works.
