Johan71 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hi is it possible to downgrade from rc7 to stable 6.3.5? Or is it not doable? Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Go to Tools -> Update OS and select "Stable", this allows you to install the latest stable release. Quote Link to comment
miniwalks Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Afaik if you copy the bz files from /previous on the flash drive and reboot you'll go back to where you were before. If your previous isn't 6.3.5, download it from LT and copy the BZ files overSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

This allows easy installation from the GUI for either version. Quote Link to comment

Although this does bring up a scenario where somebody is running rc6 with no issues and then upgrades to rc7a to find they do have problems how they can downgrade to the previous rc version rather than going back to stable., Quote Link to comment

Is it worth seeing if that could be incorporated into the webui? @DZMM had this issue recently iirc Quote Link to comment

Unless you were on rc7a and installed 7 and now need to go back to 6 Quote Link to comment

bonienl Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 But sometimes it pays off to wait and upgrade a little later, I remember the reiserFS bug and was happy I didn't upgrade at the time. Quote Link to comment

I've learned that it looks better to simply go to sleep and release a new dated version the next day. But most of those "a"s are because of the necessity to support 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4, and its always 6.3/6.2 that requires the fixes. Quote Link to comment

Fromnow on, I'll manually update just the dvb version when it comes out so I can use the previous folder if something goes wrong. Quote Link to comment

Once you're on the RC path, any further updates can be done solely with the DVB plugin. I force users to upgrade to RC first due to the changes in how the bz files are constructed.
