[SOLVED] Messed up my install

[zakshearman]

Hey, so basically, I did a bad thing and ran "apt upgrade". All was fine until I restarted and well, simply, most proxmox related things broke. I've read through some threads but haven't actually managed to solve my issue.

I am able to ping the server locally (10.0.0.24).
I can do "apt reinstall proxmox-ve" to allow me to reconnect via SSH and
The web panel is not accessible.
I see this on startup:

Output of "systemctl --failed":

If there are some logs that you need / would help, please link me to a thread or just tell me how I can get them for you and in advance, I thank anyone for any help or advice .

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

please run and post the complete output of:

apt update
apt full-upgrade

 

[zakshearman]

Thanks for the help and here's the output:

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

please use code tags and post the output as text - it's much nicer to read the output and be able to copy+paste it.

check the status of pve-cluster.service/pmxcfs - try restarting it:

systemctl status -l pve-cluster
systemctl restart pve-cluster

 

[zakshearman]

Will do, here's the output of those.

what does the journal have for the pve-cluster unit?
`journalctl -u pve-cluster`

If I do ifconfig the local IP I have been using this whole time is still there, and I am able to connect to internet resources outside of the network.

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

seems like a missing entry in '/etc/hosts' - make sure that an IP configured on your host resolves to the hostname.
i.e.:

uname -n

yields your short hostname - this has to have an entry pointing to a configured IP on your node in '/etc/hosts'

I hope this helps!

Ayy, thank you so much. Really did help and everything's working now.

Thanks for taking your time to help me.
