| ben_ubuntu | hi, i am using 16. it just offered me to upgrade to bionic beaver. however i did not have enough memory. now i can't seem to get the upgrade again. | 00:57 |
|---|---|---|
| ben_ubuntu | (i cleared the hard drive) | 00:57 |
| ben_ubuntu | ? | 01:47 |
| krytarik | I'd be curious what you mean by "i cleared the hard drive" in this context. | 01:57 |
| ben_ubuntu | made enough space that the installer was asking for | 02:02 |
| ben_ubuntu | if i remember correctly, it only asked for the proper amount of space after beginning installation | 02:03 |
| krytarik | "lsb_release -a" in a terminal should confirm you are actually on Bionic already now - and just need to follow through with the upgrades. | 02:06 |
| ben_ubuntu | "Distributor ID:Ubuntu | 02:07 |
| ben_ubuntu | Description:Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS | 02:07 |
| ben_ubuntu | Release:16.04 | 02:07 |
| ben_ubuntu | Codename:xenial | 02:07 |
| ben_ubuntu | " | 02:07 |
| ben_ubuntu | the installation stopped after a couple of minutes, said how much space i had and how much i needed. then it said it was uninstalling the updates and to try later. | 02:08 |
| krytarik | And if you start the Software Updater from the menu now, it doesn't offer the version upgrade anymore? | 02:14 |
| ben_ubuntu | exactly | 02:30 |
| krytarik | "do-release-upgrade" in a terminal would be another option to initiate it. | 02:33 |
| ben_ubuntu | trying it ty | 02:43 |
| ben_ubuntu | seems to be working, i appreciate | 03:01 |
| krytarik | Yay! \o/ | 03:02 |
| ben_ubuntu | lots of things happened then this: "Failed to stop anacron-resume.service: Transaction is destructive. | 03:18 |
| ben_ubuntu | See system logs and 'systemctl status anacron-resume.service' for details. | 03:18 |
| ben_ubuntu | dpkg: warning: old anacron package pre-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 4 | 03:18 |
| ben_ubuntu | dpkg: trying script from the new package instead ... | 03:18 |
| ben_ubuntu | Failed to stop anacron.timer: Unit anacron.timer not loaded. | 03:18 |
| ben_ubuntu | dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/anacron_2.3-24_amd64.deb (--unpack): | 03:18 |
| ben_ubuntu | new anacron package pre-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 5 | 03:18 |
| ben_ubuntu | ERROR: Cannot create report: [Errno 17] File exists: '/var/crash/anacron.0.crash' | 03:18 |
| ben_ubuntu | " | 03:18 |
| ben_ubuntu | though i just did the lsb release command and it says 18.04 | 03:21 |
| krytarik | "sudo apt full-upgrade" and/or "sudo dpkg --configure -a" give any errors? | 03:26 |
| ben_ubuntu | says dpkg status database is locked by another process | 03:32 |
| ben_ubuntu | terminal keeps crashing and other progs crash or don't run right, though have not restarted computer yet | 03:34 |
| ben_ubuntu | some work | 03:34 |
| krytarik | Might just try that, or do it in recovery mode if it fails. | 03:37 |
| ben_ubuntu | i'll see what happens. appreciated again. | 03:39 |
