So…. I’m ignorant. I readily admit.
I have wfpiconsole running on an old laptop with Ubuntu.
Whenever I have had an update to to wfpiconsole or to Ubuntu, I have tried to follow the directions to update and everything seemed to be happy.
Recently, this notification show up on my screen in the livingroom. I ran “wfpiconsole update” on the terminal and it when thru gyrations & updated something, but this notification window didn’t go away.
So…. What do I do? What information do you need to tell me what to do? Any assistance will be gratefully appreciated.
I already know I’m ignorant, so save your breath. Thanx …… jt
I am not going to claim to be an expert, but, in my experience, this occurs if something on your system needed to be updated, and it is asking for input to continue with the update (for me, it was usually weewx). I had to do something like a “sudo apt update” followed by a “sudo apt full-upgrade” (responding to any prompts that come up) and then redo the upgrade.
By the way, there is a very good support thread for wfpiconsole at Announcements & Updates. The product author watches that thread and responds pretty quickly … usually solving the problem.
I’ll try your suggestion and then move to tge developer thread. Thank you very much!…. Jt
A whole bunch of stuff happened. You said try upgrade or update again?
So I did that and then ran wfpiconsole start
Again and I still have the window in the original photo.
I did a wfpiconsole update on the terminal and then wipiconsole start.
I still have the image I posted.
As the message on the screen says, run wfpiconsole update.
BTW, you might want to wait a day or two, some bugs were found. Best to check the status in the thread @wx3i09 linked.
Hi there
I have just run the upgrade, but the console is now unable to open and tries to auto start a couple of times unsuccessfully.
The screen changes as it tries to load, but then crashes before anything shows up. I’m using a Pi4 with the latest updates.
I have tried shutting down and disconnecting all power.
Here’s what I get when trying to manually run:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Sorry you’re having issues. Can you share the contents of your wfpiconsole.ini file with me in a private message? Thanks!
Sorry, how do I send a private message? I can’t find the option.
Just click on/tap his name and select Message.
This is odd. Can you delete/rename your existing wfpiconsole.ini file and then start the console again with wfpiconsole start? You will taken through the steps to generate a new one. Once that has finished, do you still see the same behaviour?
I had the same problem updating. Before reading any forums, I decided to go for a fresh install on my Pi3.
However installing stops at kivy python install. Tried it several times, both with sd card and usb, and left it for hours, but it stops at kivy install.

Welcome to the forums!
Can you let me know which problem you were facing?
Can you copy and paste the error message you see so I can investigate further. Can you also run these two commands and let me know the output:
lsb_release -a
cat /proc/device-tree/model
Thanks Peter.

Then it stops.
I ran the update and it didn’t change my .ini file and gave me the update needed message. I ran the update again and then it did update .ini file and everything seems to be working.
