Proxmox VE 7.1 released!

Hi,

as you can see in the log, it is trying to fetch the correct file (APT is able to figure it out ;)), and the message indicates a connection error. Can you ping the IP/download the file manually?

Thank you for the help. I can ping the url from the server I can ping google.com so seems DNS is working (using 1.1.1.1). When it tries to get that file I see it flash 10min to download, but goes away.

Not sure what you mean by flash? On apt's CLI output?

Which url/file should I try to manually download? The error doesn't show a full path.
It does show a full URL
Code:

Do you have any proxy configured? Did you change any settings for APT?

http get from PC on anther network works as expected. So maybe this is a routing thing? But why can I ping to the Proxmox server but not download? I also see the firewall logs (pfSense) with the request going out.
 
I decided to reinstall one of the servers to the latest version 7.2 and after changing the repositories I ran apt-update. Note that the update can get the files from the ftp.debian.org and security.debian.org sites, but not the download.proxmox.com site. So my routing and connection to the internet is working.

Works all fine here, you're resolving to the North American host in our mirror CDN, the access request and error rate seems normal there, we got a steady amount of requests coming in; monitoring doesn't show any issue or load spike whatsoever and I can download the InRelease file from the mirror you resolve too just fine, also from external hosts that have no relation to our companies network.

This definitively smells like an issue on your end, proxies, firewalls and the like can all be selectively applied, please check there and if you cannot fix this I'd ask you to open a new thread here, as this has nothing to do with the Proxmox VE 7.1 release itself.

trying to install 7 version on debian 11
Please open a new thread for this, include the output of "apt update".
 
how can i uprade to 7.1 from 7.0 with the free version?
3.1. Package Repositories
Within the WebGui of each node under Updates/Repository enable the Proxmox VE No-Subscription Repository and disable the Proxmox VE Enterprise Repository

3.2. System Software Updates

Then use the Web-Gui under Updates to Refresh then Update each node or use the following CLI commands:

Code:
# apt-get update
# apt-get dist-upgrade
 
i presume this removes /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list ?
but that would just update the debian components?
 
This updates proxmox as well. You will now have the freely available http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription added to /etc/apt/sources.list. This is how essentially everyone using proxmox without a subscription update and keeps things current.

Unfortunately. Upgrading to 5.13 has some problems with amdpgu and LAN.

Patient is a ASUS PN51-E1 with Ryzen5 and so far this update has knocked it down.

Upgrading to version 5.15 helped, but so far the effect is that the server rises without symptoms or bugs. I am waiting for quick fixes, because so far my test lab is very "testing", which is not what I expected from such a great system.
 
Hi there, I am not sure if this issue appears somewere else. I updated my Proxmox from 6.4 to 7.1 today. Worked fine but I do get the following error
root@pve2:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
libpython2-stdlib libpython2.7-minimal libpython2.7-stdlib python-six python2 python2-minimal python2.7 python2.7-minimal python3-six
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded.

There is no way to solve this. All other source list are disabled except the source.list as follows:


deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib
# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib
# PVE pve-no-subscription repository provided by proxmox.com,
# NOT recommended for production use
deb http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription

deb [arch=amd64] http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pve bullseye pve-no-subscription

Is there any idea how to get rid of that packages?
Thanks

Olaf

Never ever use apt upgrade with proxmox products. Always use apt dist-upgrade or apt full-upgrade. Thats because apt upgrade won't install required dependancies. Then you got updated packages with broken dependancies and you screwed up your PVE installation.

The recommendation to always use full-upgrade is 100% correct, so just for slight clarifications: while apt (not apt-get) installs new dependencies, it will never remove packages due to getting obsolete and being in conflict with the upgrade (e.g., like python2 due to EOL here is).
apt full-upgrade is always required for major upgrades in Debian in general and for upgrades in Proxmox products, which are following a rolling release model.

In general, please just follow our battle proven upgrade guide as closely as possible, we create it for good reason and it can avoid some pitfalls:
