3.4 --> 4.0: some Problems after Upgrade

[whiterabbit]

Hi.
I also tried an upgrade on a Proxmox-Server (from 3.4 to 4.0 with these instructions: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_3.x_to_4.0).
It didn't work as expected: I got several errors from "apt-get" ... it began after the "dist-upgrade" & "reboot" when I tried to install

apt-get install proxmox-ve

I had to remove some packages and I had to use "aptitude" instead of "apt-get" since it offered better solutions for the package errors/conflicts.
After some struggle the upgrade finally seemed to work ... but ...

Some logs:

python-ceph : Depends: librados2 (= 0.80.7-2) but 0.80.9-2~bpo8+1 is installed.                
Depends: librbd1 (= 0.80.7-2) but 0.80.9-2~bpo8+1 is installed.  
ceph-common : Depends: librbd1 (= 0.80.7-2) but 0.80.9-2~bpo8+1 is installed.

The package "vlan" was removed. When I tried to reinstall it:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  vlan
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 36.5 kB of archives. After unpacking 150 kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 pve-manager : Conflicts: vlan but 1.9-3.2 is to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Remove the following packages:
1)     proxmox-ve
2)     pve-manager

After all, Version 4.0 came up and "pveversion" shows:
pve-manager/4.0-48/0d8559d0 (running kernel: 4.2.2-1-pve)

But: When I try to start a Console with noVNC (Chromium) nothing happens -- instead:
Unable to create RFB client -- ReferenceError: Uint8Array is not defined
(Spice is not available at all. (grey))

Besides there is a message under "Ceph":
"pveceph configuration not initialized (500)"

My final Question: wait for further upgrades or install from scratch?
Thanks.

Hi,
have you tried to clear the browser cache because of the noVNC error?!

Hi,

Yes, I just tried that -- with no changes (chromium and firefox). Must be something else.
(I also reinstalled novnc-pve -- no changes)


Maybe this log-entry (syslog) helps to find the error?

you run your browser on OSX? make sure that you accept the certificate (set to "always trust").

 

[whiterabbit]

No, it's not OSX -- the browser is running on linux too.

should work. post the output of:

> pveversion -v

By the way: I'v got this error in dmesg --- maybe it has something to do with the problem?

... is it possible that my versions of firefox / chrome are simply too old? (Debian Squeeze)

I checked it again with firefox 41.0.1 from another PC and it worked.
