SOLVED Upgrade SCALE to nightly from 22.02-RC.2

[Fiskelord]

Hello!

I am looking to upgrade my system to the nightly train, due to issues with slow application loading times, as i found this Jira thread saying a fix should be present there: Jira thread

So I tried with downloading the latest nightly update file from here, and updating it from the UI, but it just gives me an error message:

Code:

Error: Traceback (most recent call last):

middlewared.service_exception.CallError: [EFAULT] Unable to downgrade from 22.02-RC.2 to 22.02.1-MASTER-20220210-232922

I tried updating with the same file from CLI, with this being the error:

Code:

[FiskeServer]> system update manual path="/mnt/Pool/user-home/jstrand/TrueNAS-SCALE.update"
[50%] Reading update file...
Error: [EFAULT] Unable to downgrade from 22.02-RC.2 to 22.02.1-MASTER-20220210-232922

I find that a bit weird, as forum posts such as this one tells me i should be able to just update it. The keyword in the error message probably is "Unable to DOWNGRADE", so the system probably thinks the update is older than the installed version?

Anyone have an idea as to why? The nightly is from today, so i believe it should be newer.

Nightly also has a lot of downsides, so we would personally advice our HotPatch instead of using nightly if your only reason is the slow Apps.

Known issue. See following thread for upgrade work around.

SCALE Nightlies upgrade broken ?

I can't upgrade in GUI. Same in CLI: root@nas3[~]# cat /etc/version 22.02-MASTER-20220205-112923 root@nas3[~]# cli [nas3]> system update update [0%] Retrieving update manifest... [0%] Verifying existing update... [50%] Reading update file... Error: Unable to downgrade from...

Thanks for the info, the slow apps issue is the only reason i wanted nightly, so if your HotPatch works for that, it indeed is my best option.
I tried googling for your HotPatch, but i cant find anything on how to install it. I tried to search for it in the catalog, but to no avail. Would you please point me in the right direction? :)

We posted instructions both elsewhere on this forum and on the TrueNAS discord.
It's not an App, it's just a side project.
