Debian :: Maintenance Mode After Dist-upgrade

Sep 6, 2015

I have been using Debian for around two years now. I have a small home server running Debian stable i386 and keep it regularly updated (once or twice a week I perform apt-get update and afterwards apt-get dist-upgrade). The system was originally installed with Debian Wheezy and afterwards upgraded.

However, after entering dist-upgrade tonight, around 42 packages had to be updated. I agreed and afterwards got some errors. After apt-get install -f, the result is as follows:

Code:
Select allnickolay@tegulicium:$ sudo apt-get install -f
Reading package lists ... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information ... Done

[Code] ....

After rebooting the system, I am presented with the Debian Maintenance mode (root password for maintenance or Control-D to continue).

I tried dpkg --configure -a, apt-get install -f and aptitude install -f.

Unfortunately, still no resolution of the conflicts.

I assume this has to do something with the new Jessie 8.2 release ...

General :: Maintenance - Make Changes In Maintenance Mode

May 4, 2010

I notice when Linux boots in maintenance mode the filesystem is read-only.

Is there a way to change this, perhaps remounting as writable?

An example of this being a problem is that I was unable to open vi because there were too many session files....

Not to mention it would be nice to actually fix problems....

What are you meant to be able to do if you can't make any changes to the filesystem? What kind of maintenance can be expected?

Debian :: KDE Not Working After Dist-upgrade

Jan 30, 2016

After running a dist-upgrade (from stable to testing) KDE stopped working, all I get (after login in with lightdm) are the modals you can see in the attachments [1]. I do not think it is an X issue, because I can login using lightdm (and MATE is working fine).

I suspect this is because I had KDE installed before running the upgrade. The things I tried so far are:

- Runing "apt-get remove kdelibs-bin kdelibs5-data" . Then "apt-get autoremove". I did it to remove every KDE related package, after that, I ran "aptitude purge '~c' " to clean all config files. And finally "apt-get install kde-standard" to get KDE again.
- Removed .cache, .config and .kde folders. Also removed .lock files in .config folder, as I saw somewhere.
- Looked for some log files, but I could not find anything (I don't even know where to look really )

This is almost a fresh debian install so I don't mind breaking things, but I would like to get KDE working.

Debian Multimedia :: X Broke After Dist-upgrade

Mar 20, 2011

After yesterday's apt-get dist-upgrade, I lost my higher screen resolutions. Only had 800x600 and 640x480. After trying to re-install the Nvidia drivers several different ways without success, I ended up purging xorg and xserver and then starting from scratch, re-installing the drivers. In doing so, I either found the problem, or created another, ha.I think part of the problem was that I mixed Nvidia proprietary and debian installations and the update broke the drivers.I am now unable to install xorg or xserver because I can not remove/purge libgl1-nvidia-alternatives.

Debian :: Why Not Change Sources.list / Do Dist-upgrade

Feb 8, 2010

My friend has an ubuntu 810 machine and he wants to remove it and install debian on that.Instead of cleaning and installing, I thought why not change the sources.list and do a dist-upgrade to debian. In case it is required, I dont mind purging packages like x or desktop etc. from ubuntu to make it thin before upgrading to debian.Has anyone tried this approach instead of a clean install?

Debian :: Dist-upgrade Broke Dependencies In Testing

Jun 23, 2015

I'm running debian testing on my laptop. This morning when I ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, I was greeted by the following errors:

Code: Select all

Calculating upgrade... Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

A quick search found out that package librtmp1(2:2.4~20150315.gita107cef9b-dmo1) is already installed.

I do have some packages set on hold, however I don't think that's the problem:

Debian Configuration :: Errors During Recent Apt-get Dist-upgrade

Feb 15, 2016

This is on my AMD64 Testing box...A couple days ago during an apt-get dist-upgrade, near the end I saw the errors below.

I haven't noticed anything broken, yet. I usually only see dkms errors when VBox squawks after an update and I run /etc/init.d vboxdrv setup.

The section of the results containing the errors to the end of the output:

Debian Multimedia :: Gnome Was HOSED In Dist-upgrade To Sid

Apr 20, 2011

Last night I tried updating from Testing to Sid. Big mistake. Not sure what I did wrong... I changed my repos to sid, and did the usual update / dist-upgrade / autoclean / autoremove. I did not see any significant error messages during the update process. Now, I had fluxbox, gnome and openbox installed. The weird thing is after rebooting I could no longer boot into gnome or openbox as they had merged into something GNOME/Openbox, which was essentially the openbox panel, the nautilus menu on right click, and nothing else. So I purged them both but now when I try to reinstall gnome I get unresolvable dependencies (at least in the sense that both apt-get and aptitude fail to resolve them). fluxbox is still working fine, although it's missing a few things as I was using many gnome apps inside fluxbox.

Debian :: Dist-upgrade Giving Weird Feedback On DVDs

Mar 7, 2011

I use Squeeze. I just recently upgraded from Lenny. My sources.list is a combination of Debian DVDs and some http repos (for multimedia, non-free, and security updates). I rely largely on DVDs because I use dial-up.

When I tried to run apt-get dist-upgrade for the multimedia packages on my system, it told me to insert Debian DVD disc #1, and from that attempted to install the following programs: librtmp0 libdirac-decoder0 libggiwmh0 libggiwmh0-target-x libvdpau1 twolame. But, it then told me:

Debian Installation :: Dist-upgrade From Wheezy (using Systemd) To Jessie Hangs

Nov 19, 2014

I have done on previous releases, but this time it hangs on me. It's "only" a Virtualbox, so I can reproduce it.

The wheezy already runs systemd, and is fully updated to to latest packages. Does not run any graphical.

Edits the source.list and does
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get upgrade # Did on one upgrade
$ apt-get dist-upgrade

It starts to upgrade (complains about missing version in libpgp-error), libc is installed, but at some point the systemd is running at high CPU and a dpkg seems to be stalled.

Should I disable systemd on wheezy before? This might not have been tested so much.

Debian Installation :: Squeeze Dist-upgrade Exited With Error Continue From?

Apr 21, 2011

I was upgrading from lenny to squeeze. At the apt-get dist-upgrade step, at some point (after upgrading and configuring) it tried to create a new certificate for my mail server but creation of the certificate failed, dpkg reported an error and the whole process exited with error. So I rebooted the machine and issued again apt-get dist-upgrade but now the certificate was created successfully . After that it upgraded mysql-client and the process finished.

But I don't know if configuring of the upgraded packages has stopped at the point where dpkg stopped. I suppose so, because very few packages were configured at that point. Is the solution to run dpkg-reconfingure -a (or -u ?) or dpkg --confingure -a or something else ? (dpkg has the PACKAGE STATES)

dpkg --configure --pending gives me no package for configuration.PS: At least I hope that all packages were upgraded and a few were not configured. Is there a way to confirm that all packages were upgraded ?

Debian Multimedia :: Wireless Mouse Stopped Working After Dist-upgrade

Sep 30, 2014

I have used a quite obscure device called Cideko AK0b [URL] .... for quite some time now and it has worked perfectly for almost 2 years now, both in Wheezy and in Jessie. However since I made an dist-upgrade a while back the mouse has totally stopped working. The system works through wifi - strangely enough - but everything else works. Keyboard and gamepad buttons. The manufacture says the things doesn't work on linux and so far I have proved them wrong.

But now the mouse is just out right dead no matter what I do. Have looked into mouse autosuspend but no avail so far. My suspicion is systemd but that is as good as any guess.

Running 3.14-2-amd64.

This is my dmesg.

Code:
Select allroot@cryptserv:/home/dencrypt# dmesg | grep Cideko

Debian Multimedia :: Libgl1-mesa-dri Blocking Apt / "apt-get Dist-upgrade"?

Jul 24, 2011

I hadn't upgraded my multimedia Squeeze box in a month, so I ran a "apt-get dist-upgrade"; I think henceforth I'll stick to "apt-get upgrade" most of the time. Anywho, I got to the point that restarting PAM required me to restart KDM (I haven't seen that snafu on Ubuntu, it seems like there ought to be a way to upgrade without restarting X and running "dpkg --configure -a" and then continuing the upgrade). Anyway, after restarting my dist-upgrade I got part way through and got an error message. The gist of it seems to be this:

Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xserver-xorg-core : Recommends: libgl1-mesa-dri (>= 7.10.2-4) but 7.10.2-3 is installed
code....

So apt is wedged and it seems like I have a partial upgrade, various little things are not working in Gnome, KDE & XFCE (like icons, plasma seems to be somewhat borked). Although I'm using the radeon driver this seems to be some variant of this bug from mid June: url

I'm not having the issue with my laptop (Intel) or desktop, both testing, although both of the machines do have issues, particularly the desktop (serves me right for buying newish hardware). But this box is pretty bog-standard.01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS880 [Radeon HD 4290]

Maybe I should just strip off xserver-xorg* and reinstall? Or I can wait libgl1-mesa-dri sorts itself out, but it seems like it has been causing problems for over a month.

Ubuntu :: Will Menu Go Away With Dist-upgrade

Sep 1, 2011

i foolishly upgraded 9.1 with some experimental debian stuff there and now the menus are all screwed up. There's not clock, show desktop, notification area and other such applets. The gnome dependencies have been compromised. It says something about the python_gmenu (=2.28.0.1-0ubuntu1) but 3.0.1-1 is already installed.E: Unmet dependencies try using -f.Now I was going to upgrade my distribution to 10.04 seeing as 9.1 is not supported anymore and I wanted to play Quake 1 and was wondering would these problems still exist if I did or have i totally screwed up my ubuntu.I have since taken away the line in /etc/apt/sources.list which caused me to mess this up in the first place.
