Greetings,
What am I doing wrong? I'm running on a VM with 2 CPUs, 2 cores each, 16GB of RAM allocated to it.

claw@claw:~$ openclaw update
Updating OpenClaw...

│
◇  ✓ Updating via package manager (91.42s)
│
◇  ✓ Running doctor checks (215.17s)

Update Result: OK
  Root: /home/claw/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/openclaw
  Before: 2026.4.15
  After: 2026.4.29

Total time: 307.94s

That seems long, and it still wasn't done yet. It took even longer to restart the gateway.

What might I be missing? Anything should look for, or tweak?

i discovered a fix for this

#

STEPS TO UPDATE OPENCLAW IN WSL2.

1.** cd /home/ayu/openclaw-main #(move to root dir of openclaw).

2. git stash -u #(save personal folders)

3. mv ~/openclaw-main/hello ~/hello_backup #(backup the workspace)

4. git fetch origin #(update directly via git bypassing openclaw internal update simulation which drink RAM like water)

5. git reset --hard origin/main #(register the version).

6. pnpm install #(install pnpm)

7. pnpm run build #(build the binary)

8. git stash pop #(bring back your folders).

9. mv ~/hello_backup ~/openclaw-main/hello #(bring back workspace).

10. openclaw --version #(check the version).

#

actully i use binary and main folder for working both

#

So maybe people have been working hard to fix the regressions introduced in 26+ and it hasn't been packaged yet.

this is for developement

#

v30 is the repository

stuck cradle May 1, 2026, 11:09 AM

#

I'll give it a shot. .29 is unusable for me.

#

you use openclaw for production?

stuck cradle May 1, 2026, 11:10 AM

#

But I am not sure that the workspace is actually touched with the update?

#

I use openclaw for fun only. 😄

Okay. I will see if .30 will solve the regressions.
