There is nothing in MXDiags
I have reverted to 3241

[jpsc]

I mean reverted to 3235

It looks as if all the files that the new version depends on were not copied from the distribution zip file. In particular, System.Net.Http.HttpClientHandler. It looks as if a method is missing from the version present in your build.

[jpsc]

Do you have it? It's not in my downloaded CumulusMXDist3241.zip

It goes from System.Memory.dll to System.Numerics.Vectors.dll

there are some System.Net.Http... dlls from a previous distribution but not that one

[Barpm]

Same for me on Raspberry Pi4

System.Net.Http.HttpClientHandler is not in the CumulusMXDist3241.zip

[freddie]

Sorry, probably not that precise name - I was just highlighting the missing dependency really. It's a pretty important component so I think there would've been more shouting if it was genuinely missing.

Do you follow the recommended upgrade process? Rename old distribution directory, expand new distribution zip file, copy over config and data from old to new.

[mcrossley]

What versions of mono are you running?

That component should be supplied as part of mono.

Mono v6.8+ is required for MX, I believe.

[Barpm]

Up to the previous version 3.24.2 b3235 it works without problems

[freddie]

I think 6.8 has been recommended for a couple of years now. If you use email function then you need 6.12.

[Barpm]

Ok, I updated mono to version 6.12
Now Cumulus 3.25.0 (build 3241) works fine.

Thanks

[freddie]

Fantastic, thanks for the feedback. @mcrossley perhaps have mono 6.12 as an essential in the release post?

[Nottub]

Apologies but as a Luddite with limited knowledge I’m back to the question of how to update mono. How did you do it?

I fear that I’ll cock it all up and not get it working again.

Can you overwrite with the new version?
I’m looking for simple step by step instructions (if there is such a thing).

I can’t even consider pho uploading as I only have a simple understanding of ftp


Thanks

Martyn

Run these two commands

sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade.

sudo apt install mono-complete.
