@FATeknollogee there you go, it has an error and isn't starting.

scottalanmiller

When did you update to "z"? I'm not on that yet, we are on "y".

I have auto-updates enabled.

Anyone know how to rollback?

StuartJordan

@FATeknollogee I've had this happend once with auto updates on, I turned it off and have since updated manually.

FATeknollogee

I'll go post this on MC github page.

C'mon, what fun is that...updating by hand :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

StuartJordan

@FATeknollogee very true, but I'm not in your position now lol

FATeknollogee

@StuartJordan You got me there!

FATeknollogee

Per @Ylian "Update to latest version to fix this. MeshCentral v0.3.3-b is current."

FATeknollogee

v0.3.3-b update fixed the problem.
Thanks to @dafyre @scottalanmiller for chiming in.

What do you do when you connect back & a bunch of your hosts (agents) are greyed out?

Wait till they check in.

:thumbs_up:

scottalanmiller

They have a check in cycle, it can take a little bit.

scottalanmiller

For those not aware, MeshCentral standard install now requires make.

So on Ubuntu ....

sudo apt-get install make

And on Fedora...

dnf install make
