I’m running version 1.0.179 on Linux Mint 19.3.
I’ve checked the automatic updates checkbox, but alas I get no updates, and no update notifications either. This recently led to a bit of a faff where notes from Android wouldn’t be decrypted. Am I doing something wrong?
The install and update script didn’t work from updating to 1.0.195 either - I had to update manually for some reason.
All is working now I’ve updated, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
This was an issue with 179 for all platforms that was fixed in a later release. Version 193 onwards has a new encryption method, meaning that updating the Android app could have broken encryption methods for older desktop clients and you should go to Tools=>Options=>Encryption and click Re-encrypt Data if you haven’t already.
There are quite a few posts here about all of this. 
Yeah, the encryption is now being sorted 
The problem was that I didn't know there was an update, because I didn't get notified.
Hi I’m try to track down that second bug you experienced (install script not running). If I may ask, what is the output of running uname -a in your terminal?
uname -a returns:
Linux Ryzen-PC 5.3.0-42-generic #34~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 28 13:42:26 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxThanks! Looks like that isn’t causing the problem, which is good!
Good to know.
Could you try the below command and send me the output?
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CalebJohn/joplin/arch-check/Joplin_install_and_update.sh | bash
I’ve made some debug modifications to the script. I’m not able to reliably reproduce this issue.

Did it succeed? it looks like it might have downloaded
I think they changed something to the AppImage format so the grep call is failing, but since it’s after a pipe the error is not printed. However since the script has “set -e”, it is stopped immediately.
There’s an open PR that fixes the grep call.
I do not know if @laurent 's post above means that this is no longer required but, regardless, this is a failed one.

Thank you @dpoulton! This is helpful! It basically confirms what @laurent says above, the failure is happening in the grep call for getting the release version. There’s already a pull request to fix it so we should be in good shape.

Hi @lambu
The code that I posted above was only to help debugging the original issue. It has been fixed and I removed that debug script. 404 is the expected result because the file no longer exists.
Thank you Sir.
So updating is running smooth in my case?
Sry for beiing stupid, i am new Bee with the desktop App
No worries, not stupid, auto updating isn't supported on linux so you'll need to use the below command to update.
The automatic update option was accidentally made available on linux platforms (even though it doesn't work). It's removed now which should help with any confusion.
