Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

did you modify any system files? Can you run debsums -c and post the output here?
You might need to install it first using apt update && apt install -y debsums.

Hi,

I didn't modify any files before this happened and I just wanna say that I'm pretty new to this
Here's the output

/usr/share/javascript/proxmox-widget-toolkit/proxmoxlib.js
/usr/share/perl5/PVE/API2/Nodes.pm
/usr/share/pve-manager/js/pvemanagerlib.js

 

[cheiss]

Well, some system files have been modified. Did you run some scripts of the internet?

Anyway, try running apt reinstall -y proxmox-widget-toolkit pve-manager. This will reinstall the affected packages, which should fix pvedaemon/pveproxy.

I tried running it but I don't think it worked.

Hm, seems like you haven't set up your apt repositories correctly.

What does

tail -n+0 /etc/apt/sources.list; tail -n+0 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

print?

 

[daexxx]

It prints this:

deb http://ftp.hu.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib

deb http://ftp.hu.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib

# security updates
deb http://security.debian.org bookworm-security main contrib
# Tailscale packages for debian bookworm
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/tailscale-archive-keyring.gpg] https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/debian bookworm main

As I suspected, you do not have any Proxmox VE package repositories configured. That also means you do not receive any updates!

Please have a look at the Package repositories section in our admin guide, this should give you a good overview how packages are managed for Proxmox VE. In any case, most interesting will probably be how to configure the Proxmox VE no-subscription Repository.

Afterwards, try running

apt update && apt reinstall -y proxmox-widget-toolkit pve-manager

Thank you so much it worked, I don't know why but pve-guests.service still fails to start but it doesn't seem to couse anything with my vms so I'm happy.
