Been a while since I booted up my RD computer, but I am getting close to installing in the car (its been a project car for the last 5 years) and it started as before. I am running Linux Mint on a tiny desktop computer.

I navigated around the app to make a few changes, and the “MY REALDASH” log in screen popped up. No problem, hit login, but no go. Opened a browser on the same computer, and was able to log into [MRD.net](http://MRD.net) with no issues. Tried the RD app, no go. Changed the password on [MRD.net](http://MRD.net). Waited a little, and tried RD app again with new password, still no go. I also noticed in the [MRD.net](http://MRD.net) site that I’m using 0/3 devices available. What am I doing wrong?

Next, I want to upgrade the version of RD that I am using. I went to the download section of [MRD.net](http://MRD.net), and downloaded the realdash-mrd\_2.5.2-1\_amd64.deb file, but wonder if I will lose my settings if I do so? Last, is there a terminal command that will update realdash, or should I just use the deb package installer?

TIA  
Michael

No, updatating the DEB package will not lose any settings.

Long time ago we had a bug that when you had all your devices in use, RealDash would just say ‘Offline login is not allowed’. That has been fixed I believe a year ago.

1. Log in into [my.realdash.net](http://my.realdash.net), go to the devices section and remove all devices from the list.
2. Update RealDash to latest version
3. Log in at ‘Settings-\>User’

Hi again,

I installed the latest version, 2.5.2-1, and the package installer confirm that 2.5.2-1 is the installed version, but now when I boot up, realdash does not start automatically, as it had in the past, but even worse, RD won’t start at all, no matter how I try. Searching for then clicking RD, or the “run realdash” from the search list, has the same result – RD won’t start.

Any thoughts or tricks?

If you open the terminal and type:

```auto
realdash

```

Do you get any error messages to the terminal?

Yes, it returns:

It seems like OpenSSL library is not up to date on your computer. Try to run all available updates.

Ran every update and upgrade command I could find, and the Mint update manager, and still no luck. ☹

Try in terminal:

openssl version -a
sudo dpkg -l | grep ssl

Well, finally got it worked out. Just in case someone finds this threadd while searching, I think a majority of the issue was using Linux Mint 20. So, I did several upgrade steps (like 20, to 21.1. 21.1 to 21.3, then 21.3 to 22.1, then 22.1 to 22.3) but then ran into an error related to “libglib.”

Ultimately, I ran terminal where the RD.deb file was, executing:

sudo dpkg -i \<the comeplete name of the .deb file\>  
sudo apt -f install"

And voila, its working now, and I automatically logged into [my.realdash.net](http://my.realdash.net)

Happy to hear you got it figured out. Linux spellcasting can be complex at times.

Hello, I’m new and jumping in here. Going through initial setup to build a pi dash. On the downloads page, the latest version for armhf.deb can’t be downloaded. I did try installing the arm64.deb but no go without reflashing the pi for 64-bit. Will the 32-bit version be available again soon?

realdash-mrd\_2.5.3-1\_armhf.deb from MRD downloads seem to download just fine. Could you give more details of what the issue is?

Gotcha, I ended up upgrading the pi to run the arm64 version. On the Downloads page the “click to download” button on the right side is un-selectable, (Same for the i386.deb version). The rest I’m able to click and initiate download. Also just mousing over the others show the download link on the bottom left. I tried using that link with wget and curl and specifying the armhf.deb, downloads an html page and not the deb package.

Not a big issue anymore, as I switched my system so I will be installing arm64.deb and give that a go, but just an fyi. Thanks.
