Updater keeps reporting it needs an update

[propson]

I'm running Updater version 300.35.3i5. Each time I run OTA I tells me it needs an update. I then perform the update and it reports that it's updated correctly. Then after a reboot it will again report it needs an update.

Thanks for reporting but i cannot replicate that. You mean the RH update or OTA itself update?

So this is what I see:

I then proceed to update using 'u' twice

The result will be:

` Software will be automatically closed.

    Looks like you don't have internet connection.

RotorHazard OTA Manager updated to version 300.35.3i5

        You may check update-notes.

Update process done, please re-enter ~/RH-ota directory by typing: cd ~/RH-ota

[szafranski]

Please type:

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

append at the end of the file:

nameserver: 8.8.8.8

if there is any other "nameserver" already - remove that line or comment it with #

Than ctrl+S to save

than: sudo chmod o+r /etc/resolv.conf

reboot the pi

than tell me what happened

[propson]

It was showing this:

Generated by resolvconf

nameserver 127.0.0.1

After changing it to 8.8.8.8 it worked one time. Then I rebooted and the file was back to it's original state. Something is overwriting it.

I'll try a fresh install on a new SD card.

Thanks for the help.

[szafranski]

Sure bud. I have no idea why U got those. Hit me if any further help needed.

[szafranski]

Closing for now, cannot replicate. Write if problem occurs again. Thanks
