, 18:01, 9 September 2020→Do the upgrade
===Do the upgrade===
do-release-upgrade if no release found because you are too early, add the -d to allow development (it will still install LTS if that's available) do-release-upgrade -d This failed on the first attempt. So I did: grep ERROR /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log grep BROKEN /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log apt-get remove postgresql-10-postgis-2.4 Then: do-release-upgrade -d I selected some choices (keep smd.conf, don't notify me of whatever, etc.) I let it replace postgres10 but it still gave me an "Obsolete Major Version" warning on postgres (I said ok). ===Address the upgrade issues=== The first casualty of the upgrade was the networking configuration. You'd think that developers would have figured that one out, as remote upgrades would leave boxes DOA until someone could get physical access. Nevertheless, the fix is straight forward. The old ifup and down and eth0 etc. interface system is gone now, taking its config with it. To get the networking back: ifconfig Outdated now, I think, but it still shows what's up... ip -a This will get you the names of the interfaces etc. I already had a .yaml under a different interface name that set up DHCP, so I used it as a template for the interface that I wanted up that way cp /etc/network/01-netcfg.yaml /etc/network/99_config.yaml vi /etc/network/99_config.yaml change the interface name to eno0 netplan apply Now everything looks good for a foundation - apache2 is working, SSH is working, but I need to do a minor config fix for the wiki. apt-get install php-mbstring apachectl restart And praythe wiki comes back up but with a error notice. The issue seems to be with PHP 7.4, and it looks like it affects both mediawiki and wordpress, though wordpress might have fixed it. Regardless, it is possible to install 7.3 as well, as use that with apache2. add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php apt-get update apt-get install php7.3 apt-get install php7.3-cli php7.3-common php7.3-json php7.3-opcache php7.3-mysql php7.3-mbstring php7.3-zip php7.3-fpm php7.3-intl php7.3-simplexml Note we may need to fix some config again as it said: Creating config file /etc/php/7.3/apache2/php.ini a2dismod php7.4 a2enmod php7.3 I ignored the following notices for now: NOTICE: To enable PHP 7.3 FPM in Apache2 do: NOTICE: a2enmod proxy_fcgi setenvif NOTICE: a2enconf php7.3-fpm systemctl restart apache2 update-alternatives --set php /usr/bin/php7.3 update-alternatives --set phar /usr/bin/phar7.3 update-alternatives --set phar.phar /usr/bin/phar.phar7.3 update-alternatives --set phpize /usr/bin/phpize7.3 update-alternatives --set php-config /usr/bin/php-config7.3 error: no alternatives for php-config (ignored for now) And the wiki now seems happy! I also checked postgres and everything seemed ok: su researcher psql vcdb4 \l They are all there \dx All my extensions report back. ====Other Fixes==== Remove redundant user accounts: cat /etc/passwd userdel -r username I need to get Xwindows set up again. My best guess as to the cause of this issue is leftover Nvidia drivers from my attempts to install the GPUs on this box went bad in an earlier apt-get upgrade but I can't see them listed: dpkg -l | grep nvidia-driver There is a .Xauthority file, and an .ICEauthority file, in /home/ed and both are owned by ed:ed. The former is empty and the latter has some non-UTF8 (I think?) characters in it. I'm not sure if either is an issue. I didn't see xserver-xorg-video-nouvea in the package list or any video driver module, so I installed nouveau: dpkg -l lsmod | more apt install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau I'm not sure if I should be fixing my boot image or not... shutdown -r now lsmod | more
