Upgrade Notices

When upgrading Maru OS without a factory reset (see Upgrading: Option 2), please be aware of the following.

New sdcard access permissions

A new group must be added in Maru Desktop to access the sdcard mount. Assuming the user account is 'maru':

$ sudo addgroup --gid 1015 sdcard_rw
$ sudo adduser maru sdcard_rw

After restarting the desktop, the sdcard mount will be accessible again.
