Stuck in update loop

I noticed my farmbot stopped watering on schedule. Looking at the logs, there are repeated farm ware installation messages going back several days.

Can you please give us a single toggle way to turn off your automatic updates? I have had numerous problems with the farm bot all caused by issues with your update process.

I think you prioritize new features over reliability.

@I_Kill_Plants We are doing a complete re-write of the update system this month because of the problems you mention. In the meantime, you can disable automatic updates as follows:

I have the auto-update setting off, but the farm-ware was still installed, which stopped basic functionality of the farm bot.

@I_Kill_Plants If you PM me your account email I can take a look. I am not seeing any accounts associated with your forum email.

Hi thanks. I’ve updated to 12.0.1 and I’m still getting repeated installation of dependencies. That is preventing events from happening, so the farmbot is not watering, etc.

Thanks!

Which “dependencies” are “killing” you ??

I’m having a similar issue on my 1.4 XL. I just got FB built and issue started after the motor stage of setup.

Here’s my most recent log:

@aly Welcome !

The logs look very normal right until that SSH session close at the end.
Seems the RPi3B just shutdown for some reason. Did it reboot automatically after that ?
Is FBOS regularly restarting at the same point ?
Can you re-flash the latest FBOS ( 13.1.0 ) onto a known good quality SDHC card to eliminate media errors ?

Welcome to the forum, @aly

Those logs don’t show any peculiar errors- can you please start a new thread with more information about expected behavior, what’s currently happening and any other pertinent details such as the FBOS version and how you installed it. I will be happy to help once there is more information available. Thanks.
