Proxmox not starting from drive

[udo]

Hi,
bedtime for me.

If you have installed all packages, incl. kernel grub should also installed new.

aptitude is asking me all kinds of questions that I (so far) don't know the answers to. I will do my best to figure them out.

Have a good night, and thank you so far for all your help.

 

[Tuckerdog]

Not sure where I have landed. Not sure how to get packages installed.
If I could ask how to get these, this repair might be OK...?

Hi,
what happens, if you use apt-get?

proxmox-ve-2.6.32 : Depends: pve-manager but it is not going to be installed
Depends: qemu-server but it is not going to be installed
Depends: pve-qemu-kvm but it is not going to be installed
Depends: vncterm but it is not going to be installed
Depends: vzctl (>= 3.0.29) but it is not going to be installed

In this case you should start with one of the dependencies - if another dependency came up, install this package first.

apt-get install vzctl

apt-get install vncterm

...

If you have the "right" deb-packages in /var/cache/apt/archives you can also install them from there with dpkg -i (if you know what you are doing you can also use the --force-depends switch).

Hi,
qemu-utils isn't an package which is installed on an standard pve-installation!

You should delete this package (apt-get remove qemu-utils).

Hi,
your sources.list has repositories like "http://ppa.launchpad.net precise Release" and then you are wondering about wrong versions!?! WTF

You need only this three repositories (for no subscription)

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-no-subscription

Udo

 

[Tuckerdog]

Hi,

Unless there is something else happening, this is my repository.

Even my enterprise list has only one entry, and it is #'d out to ignore.


deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib

# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-no-subscription

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib

 

[Tuckerdog]

Where else could it be getting that info? Please remember that I am still booting on the syresccd USB and chrooting. Is it getting it from the key?

Please don't be frustrated with me...I have never dealt with a crash like this before, and am lost as to the steps necessary to get it back on track.

 

[Tuckerdog]

I have searched the drive for any other sources.list and only one other exists...it is under examples, and has none of the repositories being asked for in the apt-get update.

Now I am really stopped.

 

[Tuckerdog]

Tom,

Sorry for what appears to have been a double post, but I am trying to reach out on this issue. I don't want to be in any more trouble than I already am.

check again your sources.list, also file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/...

 

[Tuckerdog]

Hi Tom,

That, I believe, is the enterprise sources.list. It has been commented out for now,

 

[Tuckerdog]

Hello,

I have tried recreating the sources.list, apt-get update, aptitude, and dselect. This server isn't 'coming around. Udo and/or Tom, any other thoughts?

 

[Tuckerdog]

Here are the sources.list :

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-no-subscription
# deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free


and the pve-enterprise.list :

# deb https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-enterprise

and the apt-get update response :

Any ideas that would explain this?

 

[tom]

you still have some ubuntu repositories configured, why?

> Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net precise/main amd64 Packages

if you did not add this, someone else did this - ask this guy.

 

[Tuckerdog]

I know nothing of ubuntu repositories. No one else touches this machine...lucky me.

The ppa, etc are not showing in sources.list. Do you know how to remove them, from where-ever they are?
