Roon Server Software isnt Running. Tried mutiple Starts, Reboots, OS Reinstall button and even a Reset but nothing gets the Server Software state to OK.
The Operating System build 227 is also not up to date - though it probably does not matter very much, it may be a symptom of a deeper problem. The current one is 258:
As the OS is out of date and the server not running, and you already tried the Reinstall button which usually fixes everything, not sure what is going on. What happens after you click Reinstall?
I see that you are using a static IP on the Nucleus. I won’t ask why, but ensure that the IP is correct and not used by another device on the network - you router may have assigned it to something else if you didn’t reserve this IP.
Just to make sure the Static IP wasnt the issue Ă switched over to Dynamic and ran the reinstall again with no change. It just sais Sucessfully reinstalled system but its still on 227 for some reason.
Then pressed restart:
It didnt change anything tho and the server is still “not running”.
Tried to restart it again and got this:
After that i tried a third and forth time and got the first “restart sucessfull” message.
Still no change and no new folder on the device.
Thanks for giving that a try! Do you have two Nucleues? Indeed it’s odd that reinstalling the RoonOS led to your device running an older version. If you haven’t I would give the Nucleus a hard Reboot and perform another OS reinstall to see if that may correct things.
If the above doesn’t help, I would also try to perform a restore from your most recent backup.
Thanks for giving that a try. To confirm, is the Nucleus hardwired via ethernet directly to your router? If you’re able to test out both another ethernet cable, as well as an ethernet port, then reboot both the router and Nucleus - that would be a good next step.
Pending this, we may need to consider re-installing ROCK on the device, and then remote flash the NucleusOS to the unit. We’d need to be able to see the Nucleus online to do this though, and currently, it’s showing that it hasn’t been online in 6 days.
Do you see the Nucleus under active devices on your network?
I have now tried it with 2 different Ethernet Cables on different ports with the same result. Tried reinstall 3 times but no change. Rebooted the router and switches aswell. I can see the device on the network and changing the IP adress on it from DHCP to static works aswell.
Looks like we might need to go the ROCK way? Thanks in advance.
I was unable to create a booteble usb stick with the information in that guide. The guide “works” but the image i download and use dosnt create a booteble media. I tried it from 3 different computers and 4 different sticks.
After F10 and selecting USB as boot i get a fast black screen and then im back into Roon / Nucleus.
I even thought it might be unable to boot into a USB so i downloaded ubuntu and used Rufus on one of the usb sticks and that worked (booting the Nucleus into Ubuntu that is).
Is there another version of the restore image i can try with?
Something i find odd also is that i cant “safe remove” it from windows if i create the ROCK image stick. It reads as “…” like something happens or gets stuck after the stick is created.
Any advice to get this moving would be highly appriciated.
That is what i did the first coupple of tries. I only unpacked it after several tries to see if that would make a difference. From what i understand Rufuz just does that for you and thats when i thougt it was wierd that it gives the nonbooteble media warining. I have even tried Rufus 2.1 - 4.0 just to see if that was a issue but no.
