Hi, After Upgrade Venus os to ~27 the PackageManager disappear from the Victron Web-UI. Go back to ~26 all fine. Regards

I just tried to install SetupHelper on a new Ekrano GX with firmware 3.12. It didn't load the USB but the USB drive did register and light up and it used it for logging. I tried both versions of SetupHelper (the one released today and the prior one). Neither load into the Ekrano menus.

EngMarc, make sure SetupHelper v5.15 is installed. V5.14 WILL have the problem you describe.

if you are having problems with SetupHelper v5.15, please provide additional information like logs.

SetupHelper modifies /opt/victronenergy/gui/qml/PageSettings.qml. There should be a line at the top of this file indicating it is the modified version. There should also be a PageSettings.qml.orig in the same directory.

The reason going back to a previous version using the backup firmware option is that SetupHelper is already installed there so doesn't need to be reinstalled.

where do I get the logs? I'm new to the Ekrano GX and trying to get things set up. Also, should I unzip the SetupHelper-main.zip file when I put it on the USB? The people out there say it doesn't matter if it is zipped or unzipped.

If you are trying to use the blind install process, you have the wrong file. You need to download the package to a computer then unzip it. In the folder that is created, you will find a venus-data.tgz file. Put that on the USB stick (do not unzip it -- it DOES matter !!!), then put that into your Eranko.

You'll find more instructions in the ReadMe file inside the file you unzipped above. or available here:

Logs are in /data/logs. The files of interest would be /data/log/SetupHelper

ssh access is described here:

perfect, putting the venus-data.tgz file on the USB worked and now have the package manager option there. Thank you.
