Well, I'm a newbie with this.
Did the v8 upgrade.
I can log into the installation when I connect a keyboard and mouse BUT I can't access the server via the web interface.

Can anyone suggest what I've buggered up and a fix/s please. I'm at a loss

what does 'apt update' and 'pveversion -v' say?

I would add that during the end of the text based gui install that I had 2 choices regarding things to keep. i went with the default on the first one and the second had something to do with keeping the default or the maintainers configuration. Since it was a new version of proxmox, i went with the maintainers file and not mine. Perhaps I chose incorrectly that could be causing this issue

did you have installed external package on pve7 ? (maybe https://github.com/fabianishere/pve-edge-kernel/releases ?)

sound like the upgrade have uninstalled proxmox packages.

maybe "apt install proxmox-ve" could fix it

from memory, i did use some scripts when i first installed proxmox7, following a youtube video that were to tweak the overall system.
but the 'apt install proxmox-ve' didn't work, sadly.

How can things go so wrong? :)

packages having unmet dependencies, pve-apt-hook not found, upgrade hasn't installed or is missing stuff.
Can anyone help with this. A bit worried now.
Thanks for suggestions
 
it seems it tries to keep ceph-common on an older version for some reason?

what is the output of
Code: 
apt-cache policy ceph-common
?

try the following (and post the outputs as text (if at all possible)):
* show us your apt sources: `grep -r '' /etc/apt/sources.list*`
* add a ceph repository from Proxmox: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-sysadmin.html#_ceph_quincy_no_subscription_repository
* run `apt update`
* try installing the proxmox-ve meta package (`apt install proxmox-ve`)

I hope this helps!

Sorry but I don't see how I can post the outputs as text
I tried running that grep but it gave no output
I added a ceph repo, did the update and tried installing proxmox-ve with this result -

if you're connected via ssh you can copy from your ssh-client - if this is not possible - then screenshots will do (they are just quite a bit harder to read and grasp...)

maybe a typo? (the command would at least print the apt sources that we see in the screenshots above ... (download.proxmox.com/debina/pve/ bookworm/pve-no-subscription)...

anyways from the error-message about the missing pve-apt-hook - I'd try the following (after creating backups of all data on the system!)

move /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10pveapthook out of the way (to a location outside of /etc/apt/...)

try installing proxmox-ve again

Wow thanks so very much. My lil proxmox looks like it's back in action again.
thank you all and I also know I should have used SSH instead of all these screenshots. I did say I was a newbie in the first post

Glad you fixed the issue! - no stress about the screenshots - next time you'll know how to make helping easier for us :)

just to be sure - is `stat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10pveapthook` showing that the hook-file is in place again? (it should be)

One other thing is it was previously mentioned that my Kernal version was probably installed using a third party tool which I remember i probably did.

Current in Proxmox 8.03 -
Code: 
Kernel Version    Linux 6.0.19-edge #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PVE Edge 6.0.19-1 (2023-01-13)

Is there a way to reinstate the default kernel so I keep everything default and don't run into these issues in future?
 
please post:
* `pveversion -v`
* `apt update`
* `apt full-upgrade`
* `proxmox-boot-tool status`

looks ok for the greatest part - the question is why you're still booting the 6.0.19-edge kernel - did you reboot the machine after the successful upgrade? If not - this would explain it - and I'd suggest to reboot it as soon as possible.

If you did reboot it I'd take a look at `proxmox-boot-tool kernel list` in case you have pinned the externally provided kernel - and if this reports nothing take a look at the grub configuration (in case you selected that kernel version with other means)

OK learning a bit more :)
That kernel was pinned. I ran
Code: 
proxmox-boot-tool kernel unpin
which did some automagic grub organisation, rebooted and now have
Code: 
Linux 6.2.16-3-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PVE 6.2.16-3 (2023-06-17T05:58Z)
Thanks so very much for helping out a newbie with all this. Much appreciated indeed
