I have been using stellarmate for a while now and I really love the features it has, still learning as I go. The past few updates has really made the 64bit version feel much more solid. The boys have really done a very good job, congrats to them. But this last update seems to be a glitch of somekind. So now I have to make a backup sd card to install the stellarmate OS on, then run the updates on the backup card to see if it works. Seems to be the safest method I can think of for now.

Thanks for the input folks. I've followed the previous suggestions and found if I copy the complete contents of a working BOOT to a safe place then copy these files including the Overlays folder to the failed update SD card BOOT partition it works. Up and running again.

Could this be specific to the interface you are using? I just 9last night) updated my 64 bit StellarMate OS install, but I did it from the command line using sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade.
I had no issues even with a reboot.

Hi, great news, i tried again to turn on Stellarmate on the same SD card with copied files in Boot partition, and it runs perfectly. VNC server and wifi are back.
I can't figure out why there was no VNC server before, but the issue is solved for my side.

I have always used the software updater app on the SM desktop or from the SM app. I have never had an issue until now and its only occurring on the 64bit ver. the 32bit works fine.

That's good to hear you got it working again, but can you still update without getting an error?

I found out the update is applied, as i've got the version 3.6.0 compiled on 2022-08-18T23:57:20.
sudo apt-get update && upgrade just tells everyhing is up to date, and without any error.

Sorry to hear it does not work for you

I will try your method and see if it works for me.

I tried the command line update and it works. Thank you so very much.

I had the same issue when I updated via the updater app today. I didn't check here first but I just ended up downloading a new image to get everything back up and running. Good to know about being able to copy ver a boot partition if this happens in the future.

Oooh god what a mess of ""update""!!!
too late for me too, no check the forums before updating... bye new moon weekend, that was a big facepalm.

Im running the 64 bits version from SSD and Rpi4, and for me the copy of boot partition fix not worked, so I flashed a new image, of course loosing all configs...

Without the hassle of reconfiguring everything, now im facing a new problem, before this big fail, for the hard drive to boot using usb 3.0 I used this command in cmdline.txt,
But now if I use this code the SO dont boot, showing the errors of the pic, this force me to use the SSD with the usb 2.0... any hint?
