Before reimaging as a last resort, you can try to ssh to your rig and, edit 1bash to include AUTO_UPDATE="BETA" and run: bash 4update
Thanks. I gave that a shot, but when it got to the part where the update process is supposed to pop another window, it failed since I just did a plain ssh session using putty.
So for now, that rig is back to mining with EWBF on windows since I still have the SSD in there from before I switched to ncOC (running off USB stick).
I'm leaving my production rigs on 0019 stable for now.
see how it goes.
