Hi @bergna,

Thanks for reaching out. There have been a lot of changes to XI that may address the issues you are having. Would it be possible for you to backup your system and try upgrading to 2026R1.2?

Hi @bergna

It looks like libcurl-devel package isn't installed. For an EL based system run the following as root and then retry the upgrade

Code: Select all

dnf install libcurl-devel -y
For a Debian or Ubuntu system you'll want to run the following (as root) and retry the upgrade.

Code: Select all

apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
Good luck!
Cheers,
- Cole

Hi @bergna,

If you are still having this issue, you can change your theme in the database.

Find the mysqlpass in the /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/xi-sys.cfg file and copy the value assigned to it. Then execute the following command in a terminal or ssh session.

I am assuming you need to change the theme for the nagiosadmin (user_id = 1) account.

Code: Select all

mysql -u root -p nagiosxi -e "UPDATE xi_usermeta SET keyvalue = 'modern' WHERE user_id = 1 and keyname = 'theme'"
It will prompt you for the password you pulled from the xi-sys.cfg file.

Alternatively, you can put the password on the command line like this -p<whatever your password is>, no spaces and no <>.

If you want to try dark neptune, change 'modern' to 'neptune.

Good luck and please let us know how it goes for you.
