[SOLVED] Upgrade issue......

[Skywatch]

@Nachteule

Thanks for the usual fast and friendly help - always appreciated here!

I have figured out what happened. I must say that I am surprised by what I found and you could be too as I know you have a similar setup with a central databse of media serving several xbian installations. You will be able to try this yourself and see if you get the same issues I did!

Well, in this case, as reported I could get no web page from the headless machines and kodi was not showing in 'top' as it should. Yesterday I even went back to a early February image that I know was working well and that too had all the same symptoms. Very strange.

It seems that the problem was that the xbian pi with the database on was not running. That is all it took to make all this happen. Today I restarted it and all was well with all my xbian pi machines. To replicate just disconnect or power down the pi with the shared mysql databease on and reboot another xbian pi. You should get the same issues I did. Simples, but very confusing at the time.

As to why the database pi was not powered up is another technology issue..... this time a rogue vacuum cleaner decided to chew up the power cord and the rest is history!

Do let me know if you try it and what you find. Would be interesting to know!
