 ## Troubleshooting
 
+### Getting "No related RPC reply" errors?
+
+This means the backend (secubox-core) hasn't been deployed yet with the new RPCD methods.
+
+**Solution**: Deploy BOTH packages:
+```bash
+./deploy-to-router.sh
+```
+
+With v1.0.0-5, pages will load gracefully with empty data until backend is deployed.
+
+**What you'll see**:
+- Catalog Sources page: "No sources configured"
+- Updates page: "All applications are up to date"
+- Apps page: Works normally (uses existing RPC methods)
+
+After deploying secubox-core, these pages will populate with real data.
