Mono version is less than 3.2, upgrade for improved stability

No biggie, but I get this health message now with version 2.0.0.1264

mono -V gives me a version : Mono JIT compiler version 3.2.1 (Debian 3.2.1+dfsg-1~pre3+raring2)

false positive?

indeed, thanks, I’ll update the check (its expecting 3.2.1.x).

Should be working in the next release.

What version is it recommended we should be running, and are there instructions somewhere on how to upgrade?

I followed the instructions linked to in the instructions (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13365158/installing-mono-3-x-3-0-x-and-or-3-2-x/13384233#13384233) and I ended up with 3.2.1 also (Debian 3.2.1+dfsg-1~pre2).

Thanks Markus

2.0.0.1266 seems to have cleared it (1265 did not) … guess I’m little too close to the bleeding edge :wink:

Thanks!

Yeah, you updated too fast :slight_smile: glad it’s working.

@diggityDawg 3.2 is what we recommend. Glad you got it sorted.

My server is running Linux 12.04 and, thus far, I haven’t been able to find anything to suggest I can, or should, upgrade Mono :frowning: Officially, its not supported on Ubuntu past the stable 2.x. Unofficially, I’ve seen plenty of guides for Linux 13 but nothing for the more stable 12.04. In fact, I’ve found suggestions that it is too bleeding edge and requires known-instable versions of GC to function, so the advice I’ve read is to NOT upgrade mono to 3.2 on Linux 12.04.

Linux 12.04 is still the recommended version for servers as it is the current “LTS” (long term service) version put out by Ubuntu.

So I guess I’m asking… is there really any harm in running “old” Mono? So far my nzbdrone has been working great, but I wonder if you’re walking down this line of bleeding edge, do I need to worry? I’m not really sure I want to change my Linux distro - I’ve got it working rock solid - but I can also say that besides Plex, nzbdrone is easily the biggest reason I have a server running at all!

I assume Linux = Ubuntu on your post. I know we have recommended 3.2 to a number of people on 12.04+ and they have had success following: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13365158/installing-mono-3-x-3-0-x-and-or-3-2-x/13384233#13384233

We recommend 3.2 because it is much more stable, not bleeding edge. 2.10.8 is old, and less stable because it’s missing many bug fixes.

If you’re happy with how it’s working right now, gray, you don’t have to upgrade, which is why it’s just a warning. Eventually we’ll drop support for less than 3.2, but we have no time line for that.

I imagine next month when 14.04 LTS is released it will use 3.2. Might be a good time to upgrade the server then.

Yes, of course I meant Ubuntu (that was dumb of me… I know better than that).

Robhux… I didn’t realize 14.04 LTS was already due out. I’m behind the times. That solves that, thanks.
