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

CloudKnight

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

FATeknollogee

@StuartJordan You got me there!

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.

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

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

So on Ubuntu ....

sudo apt-get install make

And on Fedora...

dnf install make

MeshCentral should not require make. If it does, this is a bug. I don't want the MeshCentral server to depend on anything but node itself. If you get an error during install, please post it here or better yet on GitHub, I will work to fix it. MeshCentral should remain super easy to install.

In other news, back to requests and fixing bugs this week. Last two weeks saw lots of work on Intel AMT IDER, but finally back to more normal tasks.

It threw an error for me and couldn't NPM install 0.3.3-b for me without adding make.
