0.40 mysql related upgrade problems

[archived]

Hi,

I'm getting these errors when upgrading to 0.40.

First there was libxine1 missing and I did apt-get install libxine1.

Then a bunch of errors that point to some missing tables in mysql. I don't dare to mess with database, so would kindly ask for advice, how to solve this one below....

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Rob.

Hi,

further problems. After reboot, core hangs at "starting DCERouter" step - it gives no command line or consoles and can only be remotely ssh-ed. Networking is not working (you can access outside only out of Core - no ssh from outside).

DCERouter is crashing every few seconds leaving coredumps filling up disk....

How to generally tackle such problems ?

Pardon for my lack of Linux knowledge - but is it possible to give consoles and network running before DCERouter starts ? Cause if DCERouter for some reason fails, situation is hard to deal, particularly for end user. Does this make sense ?

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Rob.

Hi Rob

I'm more or less in the same boat.

At first upgrade attempt there was strange error, and in the end apt-get upgrade was not upgrading 103 packages.

Then I installed gnupg, and something moved on, but still had to install via apt-get the xserver. Then it seems that all packages have been upgraded, linux starts now with new kernel, but still I reboot and stumble in DCE Router Starting, or Starting Local Devices.

I can ssh to my box, but for instance I cannot start vncserver (that is really pity for me as I use this box also for other stuff).

I didn't notice mysql failures, will look some logs to make sure of it.

At this point I am at a dead end.

One idea I have is to remove manually all pluto packages and then reinstall, but if some brighter idea comes out I'll be pleased to try it.

Regards
Marco

Hi,

thanks for info. Well errors stated above are quite explicit. My mysql database obviously didn't upgrade with additional fields and I have 8 packages broken waiting for that to happen.

But what worries me more is that under new 2.6.16 kernel my machine freezes in #loading modules stage and I cannot do anything with it. If I start it with older kernel it stucks at DCERoter starting - and it slowly fills disk with cores and logs. Network doesn't work at that stage, so I'm not sure how this one will be solved....

Surely not a nice thing for a bulletproof end user like system....

Regards,

Rob.

Small update:

I've cleaned up all old packages/config files and I copied an ApplyUpdates.sh file from a working .39 hybrid. I copied also Config_Ops.sh and SQL_Ops.sh.

Then I ran ApplyUpdates, ant from that point I have a system that is continuously rebooting.

It boots with Pluto logo, reaches the "Updating system" status, then an update script is launched (hitting some deb repositories) then a message appears saying that system will reboot in 10 seconds.

Then again, and again, and again ....

The only way to stop this is to boot in recovery mode, but this unfortunately prevents network from working.

At this point my box is totally useless.

Is there any way to try to recover it?

Another update

I've succeeded in stopping the continuously rebooting process by renaming ApplyUpdates.sh in /usr/pluto/bin.

Now system boots and stops in "StartingLocalDevices" status.

As an additional notes I say that on boot some error messages related to udevd. They are showing for very short time, but basically they are saying that some udev rule is wrong.

These messages are not showing if I boot with previous kernel.

I can ssh to my box. Apache is working, but PlutoAdmin site is not showing. A directory listing is showed instead. Apache and PHP are ok, as I have other web stuff on the same box ant these are working fine.

So I think that something during the upgrade went definitely wrong.

Again the question is: can I recover my box by re-firing somehow the upgrade process?

Thanks and regards
Marco
