Edit: After days of looking I found the solution here First RC of Nextcloud 25 almost immediately after posting this!
Hello all,
First time posting.
I have had a strange problem when trying to update 25.0.0 beta 6, 7 and now RC1
When I click “Open Updater” it takes me to the updater but all the steps have check marks (screenshot attached). When I click “continue update” I am sent to the dashboard and nothing is updated.
Any ideas? Thank you.
Nick
