Unable to Upgrade 6.4-15 -> 7.x

[billybob]

Currently running 6.4-15 and would like to upgrade to the latest 7.x.

When attempting to upgrade from the WebGUI: <pve_node> -> Updates -> Upgrade button (apt-get dist-upgrade), I get the following:


When doing apt-get update/upgrade, the following is shown:


How do I upgrade to the latest version?

Many thanks!

Hey,

did you make sure to follow our upgrade guide[1]? What does the command pve6to7 report?

Hi Stefan,

Hope you're well.

I did follow the guide and had run the pve6to7 --full. Here's a re-run of the command:

The 2 Warnings are:
* WARN: updates for the following packages are available:
* WARN: Found at least one CT (105) which does not support running in a unified cgroup v2 layout.
Either upgrade the Container distro or set systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 in the Proxmox VE hosts' kernel cmdline! Skipping further CT compat checks.
----------------------------------
Troubleshooting thus far:
* apt autoremove -- Did remove older packages. I had rebooted since. The same problem persists.

* apt upgrade:
* apt dist-upgrade || apt full-upgrade:

Change your PVE-repository also from buster to bullseye.

Also never use apt-get upgrade! This might srew up your PVE installation as this won't care about dependencies. Only use apt dist-upgrade or apt full-upgrade.

Change your PVE-repository also from buster to bullseye.

/etc/apt/sources.list is already set for bullseye:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib
deb http://security.debian.org bullseye-security main contrib

Noted. Question is how do I get to the upgrade path now?

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib
deb http://security.debian.org bullseye-security main contrib

Have a look into the files in: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

That was it! Got the shiny 7.2-11 up & running.

Big Thanks @Neobin !
