Hi evryone,


I'm having some trouble since yesterday to update Proxmox. Is there a way to solve that?

for this particular dkms-package we ship a version which contains a fix for it to work with the 6.8 kernel - try installing:

Can I restart my Proxmox server or is this a risk?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

try removing the current dkms package - wipe it ... install the new one.

I would only do this if you have access to the server physically - or if the r8168 module is not needed for access (meaning if you can reach the server on a NIC, which does not need the out of tree realtek driver...)

Just to be sure, i have to removing dkms package :
Code: 
apt remove r8168-dkms

Wipe it :
Code: 
apt purge r8168-dkms

Install the new one :
Code: 
apt install r8168-dkms

Is that right?

Thanks for your answer,

Thanks for your answer.

So I apt remove r8168-dkms, and try to install r8169-dkms but I have this message
Code: 
E: Unable to locate package r8169-dkms

The r8169 is installed by default normaly? Or shoud I do something?

Thanks in advance for your answer

the r8169 driver is in-tree - this means it is part of the linux kernel and thus shipped with our kernel package.
no need for a dkms package

I hope this explains it!
 
You're welcome - glad it worked out so well!

Have a nice weekend as well!
 
I found this thread because I have the same issue - the 6.8 kernel upgrade didn't complete.

I had this same problem previously when Proxmox went to kernel 6.5. Luckily at the time a new Realtek r8168 driver (version 8.052.01) fixed that problem. This time though there isn't a new Realtek driver as far as I can tell - they're here

So I'm now at a bit of a loss. Unfortunately I know that my particular hardware does not work reliably with the in-tree r8169 driver - it runs for a few hours then has all sorts of issues and fails rendering the server (let's be clear it's not a server it's a mini PC) unreachable.

I appreciate that this isn't a Proxmox issue per se, but it does leave me now in a quandry. I guess I'll have to stay on 6.5 for that node.

Anyway, just thought I'd let others know if they're in the same situation. And also that using the in-tree r8169 driver on r8168 hardware isn't always a reliable fix.
 
The logs from the first post show, the kernel installation is trying to use drivers version 8.052.01 (which work with kernel max 6.5), Realtek has released new drivers version 8.053.00 which work with kernel 6.8: https://www.realtek.com/Download/List?cate_id=584
I had similar issue with my Wyse 5070, I managed to update the system as follows.
Downloaded new driver, copied the contents of the "src" directory to /usr/src/r8168-8.053.00/ and issued the following commands:
Code: 
echo PACKAGE_NAME="r8168" > /usr/src/r8168-8.053.00/dkms.conf
echo PACKAGE_VERSION="8.053.00" >> /usr/src/r8168-8.053.00/dkms.conf
echo BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="$PACKAGE_NAME" >> /usr/src/r8168-8.053.00/dkms.conf
echo DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]="/updates/dkms" >> /usr/src/r8168-8.053.00/dkms.conf
echo AUTOINSTALL="YES" >> /usr/src/r8168-8.053.00/dkms.conf
echo REMAKE_INITRD="YES" >> /usr/src/r8168-8.053.00/dkms.conf
Next:
Code: 
dkms add -m r8168 -v 8.053.00
In my case, dkms status returned 3 kernel versions working with the 8.052.01 driver, some of them were no longer used, but at this point I didn't want to complicate things and did the following for all kernels (xxx):
Code: 
dkms build -m r8168 -v 8.053.00 -k 6.5.13-xxx-pve
dkms install -m r8168 -v 8.053.00 -k 6.5.13-xxx-pve
and additionally:
Code: 
dkms build -m r8168 -v 8.053.00 -k 6.8.4-2-pve
dkms install -m r8168 -v 8.053.00 -k 6.8.4-2-pve
I removed the old version of the driver:
Code: 
dkms remove r8168/8.052.01 --all
after the above 'dkms status' showed only modules based on the new driver version, then I performed
Code: 
apt install pve-kernel-6.8.4-2-pve
Everything went without any error and after reboot the system works with the new kernel and the appropriate driver.


To be clear, I haven't tried the r8168-dkms reinstallation solution. I installed the current server with ISO 8.1 and from the very beginning I had a problem with the network card driver, only manual installation of the driver version 8.052.01 solved the problem (from what I remember, installing 'r8168-dkms' still caused the system to use the r8169 driver) .

I face the same issue. Since upgrading to 8.2, the r8168-dkms module does not work anymore.
After some research, I saw that a patch has been merged in the Linux Kernel upstream, which should fix the issue, at least for my specific network card: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next.git/commit/?id=39f59c72ad3a

According to https://lore.kernel.org/all/8bacfc9f-7194-4376-acf7-38a935d735be@gmail.com/T/, this patch will be included starting from kernel 6.10. It will take quite some time until kernel 6.10 is released, let alone integrated into PVE. So, how can I already use this patch now? I guess the only way is to manually patch the kernel?
