half-assed web UI update put printer down. Need help!
-
@dc42 hi David. Here is what is already there.
Firmware Name: RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet
Firmware Electronics: Duet WiFi 1.02 or later
Firmware Version: 2.02(RTOS) (2018-12-24b1)
WiFi Server Version: 1.22
Web Interface Version: 1.22.5Seems to me that everything is OK on this end. Totally understand about RC, but RC#6 taking printer down completely is unexpected, minor bugs are expected and fine of course. As I said I reverted already, but I still would like to use 2.0 for UI redesign purposes. I just reset everything on that side using "DuetWebControl-master" files which seems to have had me reverted back to 1.22.5. Before installing RC#6 I also have read the forum and nothing was giving me a warning sign. Gonna try to do that again now, not having fun at all.

Ok guys, in case someone experiences the same issue, I want to document. Found solution myself as always.
This is what helped:
- restored it back by deleting files on SD card from "www" folder and replacing them with "DuetWebControl-master" contents from github.
- gained control over from web browser again and reloaded "DuetWebControl.zip" which worked.
P.S: for some reason the first file that I had was "DuetWebControl-2.0.0-RC6.zip" which is the one that caused issues. So make sure you download the "right" one that works. Not sure if this is the issue, but doesn't hurt to mention.

Just to comment further on this update - UI looks MUCH better. Usability still extremely low, needed features are hard to reach and a lot of rarely needed stuff is always in front of eyes. Now to bad stuff - extremely unstable still, after each restart printer would totally lose connection until I power cycle it. This has to be looked into before a final release.

@vlad update you DuetWiFiServer to 1.23. It works stable for me

In light of this thread, and the fact that we are not allow to tell the truth.
I have a question. Is the anyway of muting certain users so we don't see their posts ?

The best I've been able to do is to view unread posts and take note of who the last post was by. Then I read the ones that might be of interest or whom I might be able to help (or those I feel inclined to offer help to) and mark the rest as read. It doesn't exactly mute certain users but at least it's a sort of mechanism whereby I can deselect those very few users who's rants, raves and insults I'd rather not waste my time reading.

@samlogan87 I don't run anything but "stable"
-
@gnydick I do run RC all the time. Usually they are more than stable, especially by 6th iteration. But yeah, will keep that in mind with DUET software for future. Will stick to completed versions for sure!
-
There's also a difference between RC and beta releases. Beta releases often include large changes and experimental features, so they are more likely to include bugs. RCs are intended to be close to what we ship as a stable release.
