We’ve recently discovered a bug that disabled automatic updates in the nightly build of Netdata released on 2022-02-19 (v1.33.1-28-nightly). This bug was fixed in the nightly build of Netdata released on 2022-02-20 (v1.33.1-30-nightly). **Check your version of Netdata** You can check which version you have installed by running`netdata -v` or looking at the bottom of the right menu bar in the Agent dashboard. If Netdata reports a version of _v1.33.1-28-nightly_ and you previously had auto-updates enabled, then you are affected by this bug. > ℹ Note: If you do not know if you had auto-updates enabled or not, you probably did unless you are running Netdata in Docker. **Re-enable auto-updates** To re-enable auto-updates, you can run the updater script with the `--enable-auto-updates` option. On most Linux systems, you can do so by copying the following command: ```auto /usr/libexec/netdata/netdata-updater.sh --enable-auto-updates ``` If you have a static install, instead use: ```auto /opt/netdata/usr/libexec/netdata/netdata-updater.sh --enable-auto-updates ``` After you have enabled auto-updates again, Netdata will update to the latest nightly version as it normally would have. ---

I’m getting the error message `/usr/libexec/netdata/netdata-updater.sh: line 44: 3: Bad file descriptor` when executing this. What could that mean? ---

@Austin_Hemmelgarn the script you’re referring to isn’t working, see my previous comment. Any chance to get this addressed? ---

@jurgenhaas Apologies for the delayed response. If you are seeing issues with the updater script on the system itself, you can try downloading the upstream version of the script from [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/packaging/installer/netdata-updater.sh](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netdata/netdata/master/packaging/installer/netdata-updater.sh) and running that. If you still see issues using that, please open a bug report [here](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/new/choose). ---
