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.

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.

Works; but only when the ubuntu-desktop metapackage is removed; otherwise unresolvable dependency problems seem to occur Chris Jones wrote: > testing with --proposed on a sparc64 dapper machine it is now able to > upgrade the machine. > > -- Getting upgrade prerequisites for system upgrade failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239458 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
