I've taken a NOOBS v0.10.0 out of the box and attempted to upgrade to 0.17. It takes a long time but eventually locks up the Pi and kills the video. Repeat, locks up, kills the video again. Third boot, the PI boots into the desktop but Openplotter wont boot.
I've tried this repeatedly. Any ideas how to upgrade successfully?
Running on a Pi3.
Thanks

"kills the video" how are you connected to video vlc rdt hdmi ?
i would suggest using hdmi and ethernet if possible..ignore the long pauses and warnings wait and wait again...

I'm using a Pi3, connected via Ethernet and the video (HDMI), Keyboard and mouse directly connected.
The Pi spends a lot of time updating Raspian (because 0.10 is Jessie) and dies somewhere around one of the later packages. It seems to get through the Raspian upgrade and die on one of the Openplotter packages. The pi just locks up and dies and wont respond/cant be connected to. Reboot - gets a bit further then same thing.

OK. Looked at it a bit closer.
Used a clean 0.10. Updated Openplotter only via the onscreen button.
First pass, does a lot of Raspian upgrading. Gets about 40 mins in then reboots itself. Appears to start ok but says its not updated.
Start again, not so much raspian upgrading this time (this is obviously done, the desktop has been updated), gets past Signalk, starts 'compiling packages', about 10 mins in, then involuntary reboots again.
Third pass, appears to complete. (takes about 15 mins). Shows as 0.17.0 on the OP Help screen. Open CPN runs OK.
However - wont boot properly now. Starts up, tries to start up various packages, gets to the 'Getting time from NMEA' and crashes/reboots. (continuously).
The Pi itself is on a good power supply and is stable on everything else, including 0.10 and is on a 50Mb connection.
If you say it takes hours, obviously something is missing/screwing up in the upgrade sequence, but its not clear what. (I do say 'no' (the default) to the option to upgrade node-red, but other than that I'm not changing anything.

Tried it again. Different PSU, but critically said yes to updating Node-Red. Seems to have completed OK this time.
Took about 40 minutes.
Cheers.

@pandroid : have you had node-red on autostart when your update crasjhes? maybe this is the cause for the troubles. Anyhow , good that you are up and running again.
