After a update from beta 17099 to 17189 Domoticz did not restart. Did the update throuh the settingsscreen. Counter counted until 100, then the message update failed, no internet connection....
After a domoticz service restart was domoticz running normaal on the downloaded beta 17189. I thought this problem was solved? Attached the update.log and domoticz crash log

As mentioned in the history text you probably have to update twice due to libmosquitto library addition when you are on an older updatebeta script.
So next time the web update will/should run successful.

Edit: I now see the log and see the error:
gdb: warning: Couldn't determine a path for the index cache directory.

No idea what is happening here....

Did you run updatebeta twice, and did that solve the issue?

When i was building a test sd card and did some installations, release and beta, from the setting screen, there where no issues. I am not shure because did a lot of testing yesterday. Have to do that again.

Created a new sd card with Trixie 64 bit lite. Installed Domoticz 2025.2 stable. Through the settingsscreen (check for updates) installed beta 2025.2 17175. No problems, during the countdown the dashboard came back normaal. No issues.
