Update 14.04 -> 16.04 using fresh install

[cscj01]

I tried to upgrade to 16.04 using the upgrade process, but my system got hosed. Fortunately, I had a backup and restored it with no problems. Now I am considering doing a fresh install. My issue is, I do not have a separate ~/ partition. I am wondering if I should backup ~/, do the fresh install over my existing system, and then restore my ~/ over the new one or should I merge it or should I selectively replace certain files/directories, etc. Any guidance here?

This got duplicated when the Forums went down just as I was posting. Perhaps a moderator could remove one of these.

You can use report post for any issue, its not just for spam.

Jailed other post.

I always use a separate25GB / (root) partition, but have data in other partitions as I like to install and test changes in newer versions, but keep LTS as main working install.

If you want to stick to a fresh install, I recommend a full backup, and then selective restore file-by-file. It's a good opportunity to houseclean. It's amazing what you discover that you don't use anymore.

Best guidance depends on your comfort level and skills.

Some gurus in this forum swear by fresh-installs, others swear by upgrades. Both are extensively tested and work very well.
FYI: Most upgrade failures can be easily prevented or fixed.

I had so many errors that I couldn't boot. So I had to restore my backup. I have always done upgrades before with only minor issues. This time was a show stopper. I do use some PPA's, so I'm not sure if that caused any issues. I also have some programs that are not distributed any way except from the developer, i.e., Vuescan and Moneydance. I believe Moneydance is distributed as a .deb, but Vuescan is just a folder with some files. I use Vuescan to scan film strips and photos. The PPAs could be removed prior to upgrade, but I think the Upgrade process is supposed to disable those anyway. I'm not really into a fresh install, but I had such a bad experience with the Upgrade attempt that I just don't want to deal with the hassle. If I knew it had been improved since my disaster (early this year, Spring I believe), I might give it another try.

[cscj01]

After making sure my system was as vanilla as possible (PPAs removed, any things I had changed as relates to config files, etc,), I once again tried to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 (x64). I made sure I had the latest updates prior to beginning the update process. Things ended as before with the system in an unusable state (the message was something like that). I could not boot and had to restore my backup. Since I depend on Darktable, and they no longer support 14.04, I have to upgrade to get release 2.2. So, I seem to be left with no options except to move to another platform or do a fresh install. As I have always done upgrades before (even when everything didn't go smoothly, I could always boot and take care of the issues), is there anyone who can give me some guidance on the steps to accomplish this? I know I would need to backup /home, but what about config files I may have changed? How should these be handled? Are there other things I should be checking that I don't know about, etc.? Any help would be very much appreciated.

System went unavailable while I was posting, and I ending up with two posts instead of one. Would a moderator remove one of these please? Thank you.

If you show us the log of the failed upgrade (in /var/log), or show us the exact error messages and exactly the steps you took to cause the error messages, then we can probably offer you some good help diagnosing and fixing the problem(s).

However, we cannot see what you see. We are not psychic. All we know is that your system has lots of (vague) problems, and that apparently upgrading left your system unbootable in some way. Any advice we offer is pure blind speculation.

Simple question: A complete backup-reinstall-restore-and-customize takes perhaps one afternoon. How much time are you willing to invest to repair your current broken system? Do you want this to be a learning opportunity, or you you simply want to get working again as fast as possible?

[cscj01]

Well, I use Clonezilla to create a copy of my Ubuntu partition. Since I had to restore the backed up partition, there won't be anything in /var/log about the install, will there? Since the system is unusable and will not boot, I suppose I could use a Live CD/DVD to boot into after the install fails but before I restore my backup to see if I could pull anything from /var/log. Will that be available on the system partition if I try that? If not, how can I get the contents of the log without being able to boot my system?

Yes, that's the step to try for troubleshooting.

[cscj01]

Okay, I tried it again, except this time, I ran
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo do-release-upgradeI did this after disabling all my PPA's. The reason I did not use Software Upgrader is I wanted to see what was happening in real time. I can say the following situation occurred many times.

While preparing to install/upgrade some package, I received a message saying the package depended on some other software, but the other software was going to be removed because I had said to remove it. From my perspective, how do you tell the do-release-upgrade script to not remove certain software? My assumption is the script should be smart enough to not remove packages that are needed to do the upgrade. Maybe I am being naive, but how in the world can I rectify this? Should I run
ppa-purgefor all PPA's I have in addition to disabling them? I am at a loss here.

[ian-weisser]

Using PPA-Purge is a correct move.
It's not enough to merely disable PPA sources. You must uninstall all the PPA-provided software.
Those non-Ubuntu packages sometimes cause version conflicts that look very similar to what you describe.

You cannot tell do-release-upgrade to both 'make a sandwich' and 'do not use bread'. It's impossible, and do-release-upgrade will tell you so init's own cryptic fashion when it starts to cry about the impossibility.
When do-release-upgrade gives you such package warnings ('Foo 1.3 cannot be installed!'), it's trying to tell you that packages you already installed (like Foo 1.32 from a PPA) has already created a similar impossible situation.

[cscj01]

Okay, I used ppa-purge to regress every PPA I had back to the current release of the product on 14.04. I tried to upgrade. Same problem. The Upgrade is not successful due to too many dependency issues. It seems as if I am stuck on 14.04 forever. What is the problem here? Is there any hope at all that this can be salvaged?

[ian-weisser]

Non-Ubuntu software is the most frequent cause for symptoms you describe, but not the only cause.
We must see your upgrade logs to progress.

Well, I can't get a live DVD that will boot. First I burned a DVD+R. That had a bad sector. Then I burned a DVD+RW. The DVD is read for a while, a message comes up asking what I want to do. I choose Run Ubuntu Without Installing. After some additional loading from the DVD, another message appears in the upper left hand corner of the screen that this is Ubuntu 16.04 followed by a Login: prompt. That goes away, and the DVD begins to "surge" (a sound like blowing wind) for a second or two, and that pattern repeats at intervals of about 30 seconds. The system never comes up.

I then burned a DVD-RW. Same result as the DCD+RW. The file I have was downloaded from the Ubuntu web site, and the file is ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso. I do not know why this is happening. I have never had any problems with live CD's or DVD's. This is insane. I have an Intel I5-3570K CPU with 32 GB of memory on a Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H Mobo. I have a GeForce GTX 750 TI graphics card. I have had no problems with 14.04.5 which I am currently running. My equipment should be supported by Ubuntu. What in the world is happening here?

[ian-weisser]

Been there.
The only time I ever have problems with USB sticks or DVDs or other media is the time I *need* them to work.

Have a good laugh about it.
Take a break.
Then back to one step at a time.

Note that if you use Startup Disk Creator in 14.04 on a BIOS system (not UEFI) to create bootable 16.04 live/install USB, you may get an error during boot due to 14.04 using an older syslinux version. So if using BIOS see http://askubuntu.com/questions/486602/ubuntu-14-04-lts-live-usb-boot-error-gfxboot-c32not-a-valid-com32r-image which tells how to get in and fix it on that USB flash device.

[cscj01]

Okay, I have something installed. My system says it is 16.04.1 running kernel 3.13.0-105. I'm not sure that's right because I have a boat full of dependency errors. I have screenlog.0 from /var/log/dist-upgrades which shows all the problems incurred. It is a large file. It is 7.5 MB. I cannot attach a file that large. What now?

[DuckHook]

Okay, I have something installed. My system says it is 16.04.1 running kernel 3.13.0-105.


…Please show us the contents of your broken system's /etc/apt/sources.listI've no desire to muddy the waters here Ian, especially after you've taken OP this far, but I've seen this combo (Xenial with old, oddball Trusty kernel) when a new Xenial install is attempted over an old Trusty one, but user chooses to not format / (root) at the partition stage during setup. Trying again, but this time making sure to format the / partition will wipe it of all old files and ensure that a pristine new install takes hold.

[ian-weisser]

I have screenlog.0 from /var/log/dist-upgrades which shows all the problems incurred. It is a large file. It is 7.5 MB. I cannot attach a file that large. What now?

That's an achievement!
Why don't you show us the first errors and the subsequent 50-or-so lines?

[bhcarpe]

This is still cscj01. I had to log in with a new account because my computer went down, and I am now working from a Live DVD of Xenial. Here are the pertinent lines from screenlog.0 as they occured. I have inserted some indicators to show some okay message were skipped.

[ian-weisser]

Both libnettle4 and libcogl15 were dropped from Ubuntu between 14.04 and 16.04, so are properly removed...along with any dependencies.
User can also remove those packages (and their associated applications) before upgrading, to prevent the removal notifications.

[ian-weisser]

Same story so far, all those top-level packages were dropped between 14.04 and 16.04 (libgnome-control-center1, libmutter0c, libical1, libmozjs-24-0,libopencv-*2.4, perl-modules)
Removal of those packages is expected behavior.
The lack of replacement packages and the dependency warnings are not expected behavior.

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hugin-hugin-builds-precise.listThis is after I restored my backup to 14.04.5. I had to restore the backup to get some work done. I used ppa-purge on all the PPA's listed in /etc/apt/sources.list before beginning the upgrade. However, I did not know there were other sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d. Obviously, I have some entries in/etc/apt/sources.list.d that should not be there. Should I get rid of those before trying to upgrade? BTW, this thread has the wrong title. I initially created it after a bad upgrade attempt from 14.04 to 16.04. However, one of the respondents suggested I could probably do the upgrade and clear up the issues after the upgrade. As you can tell from the thread, I have been unsuccessful in my attempts. So how should I proceed to have a successful upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04? I am completely baffled by what is happening. Thanks for your

[oldfred]

I would back up your list of ppa and start clean.
It does not look like you have any of the old precise ppas with anything still active.

But all those ppa will lead to issues as they may have newer or different versions.

Do you mean delete the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list or the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d or both? Also, shouldn't I run ppa-purge for all the PPA's? Finally, should I try to run ppa-purge for the old PPA's listed in /etc/apt/sources.list.d such as the precise ones for example?

[oldfred]

I do not know what ppa purge does.

All the precise look like empty folders. But if anything in them then that needs to be deleted/purged.

Do not delete sources.list or you will not be able to do anything.
You can just add # in front of anything you do not want.

[cscj01]

ppa-purge removes the PPA code and re-installs the release distributed code. Essentially, it gets the particular package back to what was distributed with the release.

[cscj01]

Same story so far, all those top-level packages were dropped between 14.04 and 16.04 (libgnome-control-center1, libmutter0c, libical1, libmozjs-24-0,libopencv-*2.4, perl-modules)
Removal of those packages is expected behavior.
The lack of replacement packages and the dependency warnings are not expected behavior.

I have some more of the screenlog.0 in post #27. I haven't heard back from you. I am still at a loss to say what is going wrong. Are you still in the loop?

[cscj01]

I have done a clean install from a 16.04 Live DVD after backing up my 14.04 installation to a USB drive. Things are running now on 16.04. I am getting my application base back as it was. So, I will close this thread.
