I run my TomSparkBox on a Debian 13 VM. I only have the VM running when I need it. Whenever I start the dashboard after booting the VM, the 'Tour' dialog box comes up. Whenever I select "Skip Tour" there is a brief message displayed at the top right of the dashboard that says something like "couldn't save skip tour", or something like that. The tour dialog shows up again whenever I boot up and log into the dashboard. Any way to stop the dialog box from showing each time?

It shows a status of 403

Good confirmation, thank you -- that's the same 403 Wolf21 saw, and it's not tied to any one device or OS: the Skip Tour button itself is missing a small security check that every other save in the dashboard sends automatically, so it gets rejected every time. Nothing wrong with your Mint box. Tom's got the exact fix scoped now -- it's a one-file change. Until it ships, the tour reopening each login is harmless, just click past it.

Thanks for the detailed report - that error means the box couldn't save your Skip choice, so it just pops the tour back up next time you boot. Nothing broke on your end. I don't have a confirmed fix yet, so I don't want to guess and send you down the wrong path - I've flagged this to Tom to dig into why that save is failing on your setup. If you get a chance, checking your dashboard container logs right after you hit Skip for a line mentioning 'wizard skip failed' would help nail it down faster.

I have same problem on ugeen nas installed straight into the ugos so it will not be just a vm think. Its huge issue but it is a bit annoying.

Thanks for confirming — that's genuinely useful, it tells us this isn't a VM-only quirk since you're seeing it on a straight UGOS install too. I've added your report to the one flagged with Tom so whoever looks at the save failure knows it hits more than one setup. No fix to hand you yet, sorry — just keep hitting Skip each boot for now, it's not breaking anything else.

installed the updates and rebooted the VM. The "Tour" dialog popped up. Clicked the skip button and the message at the top right briefly appeared. Checked the Dashboard logs and nothing mentions a 'wizard'. Also scanning the logs doesn't reveal anything that may be related.

Thanks for checking - that result actually helps narrow it down. No mention of 'wizard' anywhere probably means the save request isn't even reaching that part of the code, which usually points to something stopping it earlier rather than the save itself breaking. Could you press F12 to open your browser's dev tools, click the Network tab, hit Skip Tour again, find the wizard/skip request in the list, and tell me the status number shown next to it? That'll tell us exactly where it's getting stuck.

That status code nailed it, thank you. Turns out the Skip Tour button never learned to send a small security tag that every other save button in the dashboard sends automatically, so the server was quietly rejecting it every single time — nothing wrong with your box or setup. Tom's team has the exact fix identified now and it's a small, contained change. For now the tour reopening each boot is harmless, just keep clicking Skip — I'll let you know here once it's shipped.

I literally came here looking for this before I made a post. Glad its not just me and is being looked into.

I also have the same issue on my PC running Linux Mint, Tom AI is unable to help me fix. It has the same 403 status.

Heads up — 1.6.516 just shipped and should cover what you reported here. You can grab it straight from the dashboard: Settings → Updates → Update SparkBox. Let me know if that sorts it, or if you're still hitting it. (Prefer the terminal? sudo sparkbox upgrade — note update only refreshes app images and will not move you to a new release.)
