Uncommitted changes trying to update to 1.2.0

[Qwinn1]

I updated my Ubuntu farmer fine, and my windows fine, but when I went to one of my other Ubuntu harvesters, I get this:

> 
> (venv) qwinn@Huginn:~/chia-blockchain$ chia stop -d all
> Daemon not started yet
> Couldn't connect to chia daemon
> (venv) qwinn@Huginn:~/chia-blockchain$ deactivate

...and later, when I try to update the gui:

> 
> (venv) qwinn@Huginn:~/chia-blockchain$ ./install-gui.sh
> apt-get is /usr/bin/apt-get

Same issue with my second non-windows harvester. Argh.

Incidentally, on my first harvester I did try removing the chia-blockchain-gui/package-lock.json and redoing the entire process, but it didn't work.

if you just remove the entire chia-blockchain folder, and do a new clone, it solves it

Since this issue has been open for a number of years without additional comments, we will be closing this ticket but if we have closed this ticket in error do not hesitate to reach out to us again with any followup questions, comments, or if the issue persists after an update.

Please note that upgrading major versions of chia generally requires the config.yaml to be recreated using these steps:
1. Stop chia
2. Rename the config or move it to a different directory
3. In CLI run chia init
4. Copy any custom settings from the old config to the new (plot drive directories, pool info, trusted node info, etc) - be careful here as yaml is very picky about formatting including those leading spaces
5. Start Chia
