The 6.12.5-rc1 release mainly contains bug fixes and security updates that we'd like feedback on before releasing it as 6.12.5.
Upgrade steps for this release
- As always, prior to upgrading, create a backup of your USB flash device: "Main/Flash/Flash Device Settings" - click "Flash Backup".
- Update all of your plugins. This is critical for the NVIDIA and Realtek plugins in particular.
-
If the system is currently running 6.12, we're going to suggest that you stop the array at this point. If it gets stuck on "Retry unmounting shares", open a web terminal and type:
umount /var/lib/dockerThe array should now stop successfully (issues related to Docker not stopping should be resolved in this release.)
- Go to Tools -> Update OS. Change to the "Next" branch and click "Check for Updates".
- Wait for the update to download and install
- If you have any plugins that install 3rd party drivers (NVIDIA, Realtek, etc), wait for the notification that the new version of the driver has been downloaded.
- Reboot
This thread is perfect for quick questions or comments, but if you suspect there will be back and forth for your specific issue, please start a new topic. Be sure to include your diagnostics.zip.
