After updating from version 7 to 8, proxmox no longer works, I can access via ssh but it does not raise the manager

# systemctl status pve-manager.service
Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of pve-manager.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
○ pve-manager.service
Loaded: error (Reason: Unit pve-manager.service failed to load properly, please adjust/correct and reload service manager: File exists)
Active: inactive (dead)
 
Hi,
did the update get interrupted/failed, or did you manually touch the service file?
If not, I would suggest following the recommendation of the error message and reload systemd systemctl daemon-reload.

If that still fails, please post the ouput of systemctl cat pve-manager
 
Hi,
The system update was not interrupted, nor did I manually touch the files, the update completed 100% without problems, when the system restarts it no longer raises the service

root@cnfc:~# systemctl daemon-reload
root@cnfc:~# systemctl cat pve-manager
# Unit pve-manager.service could not be loaded.
 
root@cnfc:~# systemctl status pve-manager

I think the proxmox installation was removed, however I have a VM that I need to export to do a new installation.
 
Since an uninstallation shouldn't remove any configuration files, you could try following the installation instructions for pve on stock Debian [0].
With a bit of luck, you should be able to start up the server again and create a backup of the vm, so that you can restore to a new installation.
