Re: [Bug 239458] Re: Getting upgrade prerequisites for system upgrade failed
It worked ok for me on a Sun V100 ...but I tried to upgrade a sparc clone and it didn't work at all - it upgraded...and then it wouldn't boot Luke J Militello wrote: Hi, I have a Sun E420R running gutsy and as is it approaching EOL, I would like to upgrade it to hardy so I can get LTS support. However, I did attempt this once and it had disastrous results. It would seem the upgrade took, but upon rebooting the server, about half way through the startup, the console started to display garbled characters, couldn't even SSH to it and rendered it useless. I ended up having to re-install gutsy and restore the server from backups. I would really enjoy doing an upgrade and have it work like it should, thus I have been scared to make any attempt at it again. I guess my question is, has there been any luck with doing a successful upgrade from gutsy to hardy on sparc64 arch? As I stated before, I (and I am sure many others) would like to upgrade before gutsy goes EOL, but would like to do so with confidence it will work as it should.

Hi Martin, I removed xvnc-viewer, which triggered the removal of the ubuntu-desktop package. After that the upgrade was able to proceed BUT the server didn't come up after reboot - it freezes at booting linux... - looking around seems to be a problem with the swap partition - anyway that is a seperate issue.

Digging in the logs reveals that it is trying to get a package from ports.ubuntu.com and failing to find the package - I'll attach the log when I get home... Also I tried from the hardy sparc cd image - and that failed too with the same problem :( It'd be great to upgrade my computer, thanks in advance ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Upgrade from Dapper to Hardy fails on Sparc64 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303926 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
