So i was in the middle of upgrading from 6 to 7 and then the login window popped up right as it is asking me what i want to do with sshd_config file. My password isnt workking and the WEBUI is down from a new window.. wth happened and how can i recover? ive been scared to restart the server midupgrade.

Perform the actions via console or ssh; preferably via console to avoid interrupted ssh connections. Do not carry out the upgrade when connected via the virtual console offered by the GUI; as this will get interrupted during the upgrade.

I would connect using SSH and run apt update && apt full-upgrade to continue the upgrade process.

I always to such upgrades using the IPMIs webKVM or physical keyboard/display as this is the only way you can be sure that nothing will interrupt your shell.

f.. i wish i woulda read this 5 minutes ago... i did a systemctl restart pveproxy pvedaemon

i got back into the UI but update was frozen.. rebooted

now i cant ping it and from the shell on the host when i try to ping 8.8.8,8 it says network unreachable. my etc/network/interfaces still looks correct.

idk if its something with pve 7 but this is my second machine to have GUI issues

edit: i saw few lines in journalctl about not being able to create persistant MAC address for my interfaces

when trying this from the upgrade wiki i get permission denied

"If ifupdown2 is installed, you can use ifreload -a to apply this change. For the legacy ifupdown, ifreload is not available, so you either need to reboot or use ifdown vmbr0; ifup vmbr0"

ok thanks everyone. some guy on reddit had the trick. i used the cmd

 dpkg --configure -a

and it picked up the install where i got locked out, finished the install and ran ifreload -a

my network came back online and i think im good to go.
