Cannot update since 2025.4.2

Installation

Hi,

For some reason I have not been able to update my HA since version 2025.4.2.

It can see there are updates available, but every time I run the update it just sits there looking like it’s doing something but then just stops?

I’ve tried rebooting etc. but nothing seems to allow it to work?

I can’t see anything in the logs, but then in the same light I’ve not needed to dig into them to much previously so I might not be looking in the correct place.

I am running on a HA Yellow.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

If you are talking abou HA Core, then look at the python version.

2025.5 supports python 3.13+

Sorry yes I am on about Core (should have said that).

Without trying to sound stupid (or trying to walk into an onslaught of insults) but what is the python version and how, where would I get that, and I guess why would I need to change, have I missed something about support issues on a previous version?

Using the Command Line or Terminal

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
  2. Type one of the following commands and press Enter: python –version. python -V.
  3. If the above command doesn’t work, try: python3 –version.

What OS are you on ?

Hi,

Thanks, I’ve done that and I am on:
Python 3.12.9 (main, Feb 7 2025, 17:39:29) [GCC 14.2.0] on linux

So I assume that I will have to update that, So I guess next question is it easy to upgrade Python?

I was looking to swap my Yellow for a mini Lake-N150 PC, would it make sense to get that and then restore a backup from my current system on to that?

Thanks again,

Yellow ? What OS are you running.

That is why I asked what OS.

Also, the core installation method is deprecated. 2025.12 will be the last version supported.

If you buy a N150, a good method is to install proxmox and run HA OS in a VM. And a backup of your current system will work fine.

Sorry Missed the OS part.

I’m on Home Assistant OS 15.2.

Thanks for the advice on Proxmox, I’ll look into that.

I was looking at this box here, it feels like a good option, what do you think?

Ok, you are not running HA Core, but HA OS. So upgrading python is not necessary, the upgrade should work.

That model seems OK.

Ah, OK thanks.

Still finding my way round HA if I’m honest. Only really playing around with the main bits, which was part of the reason I wanted to swap over so I can start diving a bit deeper into it.

Many thanks for the help.
