Updates are not displayed with JUST_CHECK=1 rpi-update

[Nastras]

Hello,

I have the following problem.

when I run sudo JUST_CHECK=1 rpi-update I get nothing displayed except this:

*** Raspberry Pi firmware updater by Hexxeh, enhanced by AndrewS and Dom *** Performing self-update *** Relaunching after update *** Raspberry Pi firmware updater by Hexxeh, enhanced by AndrewS and Dom *** We're running for the first time *** Firmware update required. No local hash to compare to.

If I do the same thing on another Pi, all updates will be displayed.

` Raspberry Pi firmware updater by Hexxeh, enhanced by AndrewS and Dom Performing self-update Relaunching after update Raspberry Pi firmware updater by Hexxeh, enhanced by AndrewS and Dom We're running for the first time Firmware update required. New commits available:

Commit: kernel: Bump to 4.19.57

Can someone tell me why nothing is displayed?

Thanks!

It compares the current rpi-update version to the latest version and prints out the commit messages between. If you have never run rpi-update then this doesn't make sense.

The local hash it is looking for is /boot/.firmware_revision

[Nastras]

Thanks for your answer. This message occurred at first start and does not disappear.

Do you have any idea how I can fix the error?

[Nastras]

I just looked up the directory /boot/.firmware_revision is not available in my system. I created it manually but the error still exists -.-

[popcornmix]

How did you create it?

[Nastras]

I created the folder with mkdir as root. Is that wrong?

[popcornmix]

The file needs to contain the git hash of the last rpi-update. This list of commits since the last run of rpi-update only makes sense on the second update. If you haven't run rpi-update before we don't know what has changed since the last one.

Once you have run rpi-update once, you can use JUST_CHECK=1 rpi-update

I started rpi update now but without installing updates. Unfortunately it still doesn't work JUST_CHECK=1 rpi-update.

I just want to see the upcoming firmware updates with rpi-update 😁?

[Nastras]

Thank you for your help!

[popcornmix]

Did you delete the directory you created /boot/.firmware_revision? That will stop rpi-update from being able to create the file /boot/.firmware_revision

[Nastras]

No, I haven't. But I did it now and did rpi-update again. The error still exists.

Did you enter "y" when asked "Would you like to proceed (y/N)" ? You should see a *** Downloading specific firmware revision (this will take a few minutes) message which I don't see in your screenshot.

[Nastras]

Hello, I have now confirmed with y and installed the updates. Now it works.

Actually I didn't want to install any updates and I just wanted to see the updates.

Fortunately everything still works.

Thanks for your help and effort.

To just see the updates without running rpi-update you can browse: https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/commits/master

Thank you for the hint. I get the information by telegram push so I use rpi-update.
