Instructions on rolling back to 3.2b1?

oozeBot

@bearer thanks! but it's throwing dependency errors.. ugh. I'll keep plugging away at it, but if anyone knows of a clean solution, please let me know before I just roll back to 3.1.1..

I wasn't thinking clearly as I just realized I could clone one of my other machine's sd cards to get me back to 3.2b1.. After getting back setup with the exact same configs, G30 began working again. There appears to be something wrong with G30 when connected to a toolboard on 3.2b2..

I'll do more testing and report back

you'd have to run M997 to flash the duet if you haven't already.

@bearer yes- got that part right..! Thanks!

Do anyone come up with a way of installing/rolling back to 3.2b1 on the SBC? It would be very useful to be able to do this to check for changes between beta1/beta2.

This is also an issue for LPC/STM users who have accidentally upgraded or want to move over to the from 3.1.1.
We currently haven't released beta 2 builds as the changes are still being merged in.
I've tried to roll back using a number of version numbers but have been unable to do so.
Is this one for @chrishamm to look at?

To downgrade to 3.2-b1 you must install RRF 3.2-b1 first, because the protocol version has been increased and older DSF versions cannot communicate with it. To do that, download the corresponding firmware binary from GitHub, upload it on the System page, and install it.

Then open a terminal on the SBC (e.g. via SSH) and run the following command with the right software version (3.2.0-beta1 is what you want instead of 3.1.1):

apt-get install duetsoftwareframework=3.1.1 duetcontrolserver=3.1.1 duetsd=1.0.6 duettools=3.1.1 duetwebserver=3.1.0 duetwebcontrol=3.1.1 reprapfirmware=3.1.1-1 duetruntime=3.1.1

Please note that the RRF package has an extra suffix after the software version (-1, may vary).

3.2.0-beta1

that still doesn't work. I can roll back to 3.1.1 but I can't roll forwards to 3.2.0-beta1.
This is what I am trying to run

sudo apt-get install duetsoftwareframework=3.2.0-beta1+1 duetcontrolserver=3.2.0-beta1+1 duetsd=1.0.7 duettools=3.2.0-beta1+1 duetwebserver=3.2.0-beta1 duetwebcontrol=3.2.0-beta1+2 reprapfirmware=3.2.0-beta1+1-1 duetruntime=3.2.0-beta1+1

And I still get and unmet dependency for duetwebserver. See the output below

How can a beta1 release be dependent on beta2?

@jay_s_uk Hmm right, I must have overwritten the old DWS package accidentally which caused this error. I just rebuilt b1 and b2 and updated the packages on the server. Try to run sudo apt-get update once again and then downgrade the packages using your command line. If it still doesn't work, remove the downloaded deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives and try again.

@chrishamm that works now, thank you

@chrishamm Thank you for the assist! I'm glad to see it wasn't my ignorance with Linux causing the issue..!
