I’ve been holding off upgrading from 181 on my Raspberry Pi due to the DHCP issues. I believe those are resolved in 184, however my admin interface is only showing that an upgrade from 181 to 183 is available. Is it possible to go direct to 184 or do I need to either take it in steps or start with a fresh SD card?
Ah okay. That is related to dhcpc not dhcp. Those are two separate programs.
dhcp is the dhcp server program on IPFire.
dhcpc is the dhcp client program on IPFire.
dhcpc was updated in Core Update 184. No feedback was provided by anyone using RPi during the Testing phase of CU184 so you will have to try out CU184 and see if the bug fix from dhcpc fixes the issue you were seeing or not.
After pakfire refresh, I’m still not seeing the option to directly upgrade to 184. With that said, I may actually be better off creating a fresh SD card. Out of interest, assuming I have a keyboard and monitor attached, is there a way to skip the setup steps and directly restore a backup via CLI? Usually, I’ve gone through setup and then done it via webapp, but that is a lot of setup steps when all of that should be sitting there in my backup. I’ve seen reference to backupctrl and I’m wondering if that is the trick here?
