[Release notes] Sauna 4.6.0.11

[aerique]

After updating to 4.6.0.12 the ASN Bank app works again. I have not tested ABN yet.

[Maximilian1st]

After updating to .12 the new sonos app still hangs at the start and crashes to become a zombie process.

Thanks. Mine was rather old. Reinstalling buteo-sync-plugin-webcal solved the problem.

[Vieno]

I would like to thank for this big update and the issues solved. Update went trough well, but issues with MeeCast and AppSupport.

If you are missing meecast on the notification screen, take a look here:

SFOS 4.6 (Foreca / Meecast): How to (re-)enable the weather infos in Events View

Glad this came up in a separate topic. As the weather app hasn’t been working lately, it’s disabled by default. To get it back in its current functional level, there’s a dconf key “/desktop/lipstick-jolla-home/force_weather_loading”, so one can do as a user in shell: dconf write /desktop/lipstick-jolla-home/force_weather_loading true To note that it takes effect when entering the events view again so it was open need to do couple of swipes to get out and back. The configuration bits in events…

While both .11 and .12 update went OK on the XA2U (if we don’t count the usual ‘evergreen’ annoyances like disappearing contact avatars, i.e. something that Jolla hasn’t been able to fix since ever), on the 10 III no matter how many times I try (I have a backup image of the rootfs created with dd, so I can easily restore it and repeat it at nauseam) I always end up with 1 GB of rootfs space gone. Starting with 1.9 GB free, after the update I end up with 1.0 - 0.9 GB free, and I can’t find what ate it.

Has anyone experienced the same on the 10 III?

[miau]

Maybe the downloaded packages were not deleted after the update was finished? Have you checked the content of /home/.pk-zypp-dist-upgrade-cache/ ?

[kan_ibal]

Have you the phone restarted once more?

[wetab73]

@miau

Have you checked the content of /home/.pk-zypp-dist-upgrade-cache/ ?

Yes. All caches are empty
And they are on /home/ (just symlinked from a few other places), so even if some update remnants were there, it wouldn’t take rootfs space…

@kan_ibal

Have you the phone restarted once more

Yes. Multiple reboots, waiting, etc.
post_sfos-upgrade doesn’t find anything, either…

I’ve already tried updating 3 times, always with the same result. Luckily, I have full rootfs backup, so within half an hour I can always go back to fully working 4.5.0.25. But I would really like to finally update my 10 III, just like I did with the XA2U without any problems…

P.S. du reports that the /opt/ folder gets bigger by some 700 MB. It’s around 500-600 MB on 4.5.0.25 and 1.2 GB after the update. So maybe that’s where it goes… It looks that AppSupport contents were moved there, so maybe they get copied but not removed from the original location, doubling the occupied space…

[mastal]

I followed the steps to remove the AppSupport, but it did not help. Still, I have the same issues. Android Apps still crushes.

[wetab73]

OK, so could you please guys say how much free space you have on the 10 III after upgrade?

After manually upgrading using sfos-upgrade, I ended up with 1.5 GB free space. Much more than 0.9 GB left after GUI update, but still 0.3 GB less than what I had before the update. Is that typical?

[ender]

For me removing and reinstalling all of MicroG helped with crashes.

[mSorvisto]

I have 1,9 GB free out of 4,7 GB. Sailfish and co. takes 2,8 GB.

[binutzu]

Hi, i also have 1.9 GB free after updates (.11 & .12).

[eson]

I have 1,4 GB free out of 4,7 GB. Sailfish and co. takes 3,1 GB.

[vige]

1.4GB free on my device.

[jauri.gagarin.II]

1.2GB. Who offers less?

(4.6.0.12 on Xperia 10 III)

[aerique]

1.5GB free after a regular update flow.

[mSorvisto]

IIRC I flashed 4.5 to my phone. Is there way to check that?

I have also vague memory that second preorder batch Jolla phone had almost 5 GB on it’s last days of service

[wetab73]

OK, thank you very much guys for all the replies! So I guess I shouldn’t complain about having 1.5 GB free (compared to 1.9 GB prior to applying the update), which seems to be within the typical range. But that’s only after I used sfos-upgrade rather than the standard updater. If I was using the normal GUI updater, each time I was ending up with only 0.9 - 1.2 GB left, i.e. 0.3 to 0.6 GB more space taken than using sfos-upgrade, which was really strange.

Luckily, I had full rootfs backup image, so I could easily restore it multiple times and repeat the update process until it went fully OK. Warmly recommended!

Anyway, by removing useless contents of /usr/share/translations, /usr/share/licences, /usr/share/doc/, /usr/share/man and some more I regained some additional 200 MB, so now I have 1.7 GB free.
