runtime-error after fresh install (first apt-get update)

linedan · Feb 8, 2020

I really tried to figure out what could be the problem here, but i give up. Maybe somebody can help me!
After a fresh install of Proxmox 5.4, i try an "apt-get update" and instand i got an runtime-error:

Linux bks003 4.15.18-12-pve #1 SMP PVE 4.15.18-35

the /etc/apt/source.list (i tried bove of them buster/stretch):

pvdisplay:

pveversion:

Hi,
what HW does use.
It is very odd that the rdrand function does not work.

linedan · Feb 10, 2020

Hardware:

HP-Server Gen9 DL380
32GB RAM
4TB HDD (in total)
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40GHz

It worked without Problems with the 4.4 Version of Proxmox.
But since the Upgrade we got this problem!

The rdrand-function is something like a random-generator in the intel-cpus?

wolfgang · Feb 10, 2020

rdrand is the funktion to use the random-generator in the intel-cpus or any else.

linedan · Feb 10, 2020

OK thank you, i will try to install the kernel ith wget and then try again.

wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/...pve-kernel-4.15.18-9-pve_4.15.18-30_amd64.deb

dpkg -i pve-kernel-4.15.18-9-pve_4.15.18-30_amd64.deb

Sorry this doe not belong to you ;-)
but yes you can try a newer kernel

http://download.proxmox.com/debian/...64/pve-kernel-5.3.18-1-pve_5.3.18-1_amd64.deb

linedan · Feb 10, 2020

oh ok thank you, sorry thought this would be the solution because of the E-Mail i got!
But alright then i will try this kernel. Thank you

linedan · Feb 10, 2020

Is the proxmox going to automatic boot from latest kernel installed if i do a:
update-grub
?

wolfgang · Feb 11, 2020

Proxmox VE will boot from the newest kernel which is installed.
the update-grub will be triggered by the kernel package installation.

linedan · Feb 11, 2020

Alright thank you!

linedan · Mar 15, 2020

I took a while until i could test the new kernel, or better until i had the time to install it.
But now i installed it and restarted the server, but unfortunately "apt-get update" still not working!

dpkg --install pve-kernel-5.3.18-1-pve_5.3.18-1_amd64.deb

Any other suggestions??

Hmm - you're running PVE 5.4 but your sources.list - list mostly buster (on which PVE 6 is based, and for which the 5.3 kernel is released)
-> consider doing the upgrade from 5.4 to 6.1:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0

the issue with `apt update` seems to have been fixed in the version of `apt` shipped with buster:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1784796

I hope this helps!

linedan · Mar 16, 2020

I already tried both (Stretch & Buster).

#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster main contrib
#deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib

So you mean if i upgrade to Proxmox-Version 6.X the apt-issue could be fixed?

Because we have 4 other HP-Servers, which are only in hardware-configuration a little bit different, and all of them work flawless.

So maybe the linux-Kernel?

Is the Upgrade to Proxmox-Version 6 possible without a complete new install?

Stoiko Ivanov · Mar 16, 2020

mostly I wanted to point out that mixing repositories of different major relases (stretch (pve 5) and buster (pve 6) in this case) is not a good idea and can lead to quite a few problems.

check the wiki-page I linked - you should be able to do an in-place upgrade (but read the instructions carefully!)

i hope this helps!

linedan · Mar 16, 2020

Ok i will try to Upgrade to Proxmox-Version 6 and i will read the instructions now... thank you

linedan · Mar 16, 2020

Ok but maybe i got the wrong view on this, but my apt doesn't work so a "in-place-upgrade" will become difficult....
So the only possibility will be a fresh install?

Stoiko Ivanov · Mar 16, 2020

I'd first try to reboot into the latest 4.15 kernel - maybe some library interface changed, causing the apt problems for you

linedan · Mar 16, 2020

like my suggestionin thread number #5? Ok i will try that thank you!

linedan · Mar 16, 2020

So you also would suggest:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
wget http://download.proxmox.com/debian/...pve-kernel-4.15.18-9-pve_4.15.18-30_amd64.deb

dpkg -i pve-kernel-4.15.18-9-pve_4.15.18-30_amd64.deb
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stoiko Ivanov · Mar 16, 2020

please post your `pveversion -v` output - if you're running pve 5 i would expect one pve-kernel 4.15 to be installe
