Brand new out of the box Endless mini 2gb/32gb EC-100. i can't update from os 3.0.4...can't install no apps

gersoncampos7 · June 22, 2021, 4:50am

Hello everyone!

I am new to the community. I just ordered my endless mini EC-100 last friday and i had it delivered today. i pluged it and set wifi. i am able to access the internet but i can not update the device. i tried reading help pages and it seems that GPG keys are not trusted. Device has OS 3.0.4 and settings show that no updates are available.

How can i update this brand new device. following instructions i attach diagnostics fileeos-diagnostic-210621_223313_UTC-0600.txt (348,0 KB)ostree-admin-upgrade.log (448 Bytes)

Open the application called ‘Terminal’
In this application run the command:

wget https://ostree.endlessm.com/keys/eos-ostree-keyring.gpg
sudo ostree remote gpg-import -k eos-ostree-keyring.gpg eos
flatpak update --appstream && flatpak update -y
sudo ostree admin upgrade
eos-updater-ctl update

Now try the operating system upgrade again and go to Endless OS 3.9.4

Thank you. I do really appreciate your time in answering my posting. i did as you suggested and OS updated up to 3.3.20 but it after that i says there was an error during update and i could not go any further.

eos-updater-ctl update

wjt · June 28, 2021, 11:00am

Try:

sudo ostree remote gpg-import -k eos-ostree-keyring.gpg eos-apps
sudo ostree remote gpg-import -k eos-ostree-keyring.gpg eos-sdk

then restart and try the upgrade again.

gersoncampos7 · June 29, 2021, 4:21am

Thank you for your answer .

did try both commands .

first one output:

Imported 0 GPG keys to remote “eos-apps”

second command output

error: GPG: Remote “eos-sdk” not found

then running "eos-updater-ctl update " the output was:

gerson@endless:~$ eos-updater-ctl update

Strange because it is defined in your log – but, ah! it’s on the other partition. Try:

sudo ostree --repo /var/endless-extra/flatpak/repo remote gpg-import -k eos-ostree-keyring.gpg eos-apps
sudo ostree --repo /var/endless-extra/flatpak/repo remote gpg-import -k eos-ostree-keyring.gpg eos-sdk

gersoncampos7 · July 4, 2021, 12:40am

thank you … i got up to 3.8.8… i had to change syntax a bit but it did work

ramcq · July 4, 2021, 9:55am

Great news! Do you mind me asking where you got the Mini? We didn’t think anyone was still selling them.

gersoncampos7 · July 4, 2021, 5:17pm

They are being sold thru Amazon mexico…they are being sold for 45USD…Are the minis still being supported? I plan on buying a second one…

Daniel · July 5, 2021, 12:07am

We aren’t providing any official OS support nor publishing OS updates for Endless Mini any more, due to it reaching it’s platform end of life. But we’ll continue to do our best answering on these forums for issues/questions that are easy to address.

Apps will continue to get updates (via Flatpak/Flathub) even though the OS will not.

That price is below cost, I guess someone is clearing out some stock somewhere - these are not being sold by Endless.

Thank you for the information. as a final question… i have not been able to update over os 3.8.8 what os version is last supported on EC100?(endless mini pc)

Daniel · July 5, 2021, 4:22am

3.8.8 is the last supported release there, there is no available upgrade to 3.9 or beyond on that platform.

Daniel · July 6, 2021, 4:25am

I’ve documented this issue and workaround here:

en tu archivo de diagnostico se ve que solo tienes 2 llaves para firmar aplicaciones arriba me ayudaron agregando unos comandos desde terminal para gregar las firmas faltantes. entra almensaje superior de ayuda y corre todos los comandos:(Brand new out of the box Endless mini 2gb/32gb EC-100. i can't update from os 3.0.4...can't install no apps)

es decir… todos estos:

wget -nv https://ostree.endlessm.com/keys/eos-ostree-keyring.gpg
wget -nv https://ostree.endlessm.com/keys/eos-flatpak-keyring.gpg
sudo ostree remote gpg-import -k eos-ostree-keyring.gpg eos
sudo ostree remote gpg-import -k eos-ostree-keyring.gpg eos-runtimes
sudo ostree remote gpg-import -k eos-flatpak-keyring.gpg eos-apps
sudo ostree remote gpg-import -k eos-flatpak-keyring.gpg eos-sdk

ademas de estos:

sudo ostree remote --repo=/var/endless-extra/flatpak/repo gpg-import -k eos-ostree-keyring.gpg eos-runtimes
sudo ostree remote --repo=/var/endless-extra/flatpak/repo gpg-import -k eos-flatpak-keyring.gpg eos-apps
sudo ostree remote --repo=/var/endless-extra/flatpak/repo gpg-import -k eos-flatpak-keyring.gpg eos-sdk

y finalmente varias veces estos:

flatpak update --appstream && flatpak update -y
sudo ostree admin upgrade
eos-updater-ctl update

y hay que dejar varias horas a que se baje todo el ostree, ya que se bajan 3 gb o mas de librerias y actualizaciones

Escorpionfelino · July 20, 2021, 4:54am

Amigo agradezco el tiempo que te tomaste para compartirme la informacion aunque despues de hacer todo aun no he podido actualizar; me he puesto en contacto a un correo de ayuda de endless y pues parece que me iran guiando, de todas formas agradezco tu atencion y tu tiempo!!!

gersoncampos7 · July 20, 2021, 4:32pm

Te voy a comentar que ademas en mi desesperacion que no cargaban las llaves ejecute este comando no documentado:

sudo ostree remote gpg-import -k eos-ostree-keyring.gpg eos-sdk

ademas ejecute este que repara el repositorio:

rm -f eos-fix-ostree-repo
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/endlessm/eos-meta/master/eos-tech-support/eos-fix-ostree-repo
chmod +x eos-fix-ostree-repo
sudo ./eos-fix-ostree-repo && flatpak update -y

como viene documentado aca…

Escorpionfelino · July 20, 2021, 6:16pm

Gracias amigo, mira al escribir el primer comando que me compartes me sale esto:
