Topic: Yum update to beta 1 failed

[jameswilson]

I have left the machine in the following state incase any further info is needed

[TerryF]

Well, a number of Proxmox VM installs with latest iso, raid1 and single disk..yet to see that error and all have been successful unless doing odd things with manual partitioning

So cant help, others may have a clue

[TerryF]

When you say Yum update to beta 1, do you mean you have a Alpha 5 install that you are attempting to update to Beta 1 status .. it can be done, a simple yum update doesn't do it..

[jameswilson]

Yes thats exactly what i was doing.
Sorry then how do you move between versions then if not by doing a yum update?

[Jean-Philippe Pialasse]

have you tried to enable ipv6 on this vm ?

what returns ipconfig ?

[jameswilson]

I haven't but can. However my local gateway is a sme9

I haven't but can. However my local gateway is a sme9

Nothing to do with v9.

And the very last line shows something somewhere somehow has enabled or is trying to connect over IPv6.

IO::Socket::INET6 Connect: connection refused at /sbin/e-smith/ldif-fix line 402

IPv6 should not be enabled as it is not currently supported.

So the question is what.

Show

Code: [Select]

ipconfig or

Code: [Select]

ip addr show

Also note that Alpha 5 was testing only, and there is no guaranteed upgrade path to Beta, and hence YMMV.

As per the release notes there were HUGE underlying changes which may break stuff. Hence Alpha status.

Beta should see less breaking changes and enable a backup v9/restore to v10 path, and likely upgrade to RC/Release status.

[jameswilson]

Fair enough
 Should i reboot it as its just at the  screen as posted above?

[ReetP]

Need to find out where you are at - a reboot might be messy. Is this just a trst machine?

You have got a backup haven't you?

Have you got ssh shell access?

Please describe fully how you got to this point.

Please also answer questions previously asked

[jameswilson]

Please describe fully how you got to this point.

Please also answer questions previously asked

just ran 'yum update' enabled the smecontribs repo

Got the first error as per the screenshot about connection refused. Then it just stayed like that.
Pressed Enter got a new line
pressed ctrl c, got the error as per 2nd screenshot

Havnt done a reboot or reconfigure yet.
As above test machine on proxmox. Was an sme10-alpha

Just trying to help with the testing

ip details

I don't see the details we asked for....

Please go back and write down exactly what you did to get to this point and tell us.

Without that level of detail this is all pretty meaningless.

So, server version, where you were with updates, what other rpms/contribs you had tried to install, what you did to trigger this, the output the address commands above etc.

You titled this as "Yum update to beta 1 failed" but what stage were you at before this? Fully updated, part updated, not updated? What command did you use to update?

All we really have so far is 'the car won't start' !!

And I know that you have been playing because "ldif-fix" is not in a stock install....... so how did it get there?

My guess is you have been trying all sorts of things out - possibly some v9 contribs - and then tried to upgrade, and something broke.

So my gut instinct this is a won't fix because this is not a normal install.

just ran 'yum update' enabled the smecontribs repo

Ahhhhh. Do you think that is a sensible move? You should never just do 'update' with extra repos enabled.

And I am not sure that is the issue as there is almost nothing in the SME v10 contribs repo that would really do that:

http://mirror.canada.pialasse.com/releases/testing/10.0.beta1/smecontribs/x86_64/RPMS/

So, that isn't the whole story..............

I suspect you enabled other repos when you did update eg smedev???? In which case your VM is toast.

Note - Terry has seen this too.

We are looking at it.
