| MariaDiaz91 | I tried to upgrade from 20.10 to 21.04. Received some kind of an error while upgrading, I don't know what it is, What should I do? Here is the output: paste.ubuntu.com/p/9Svgc2hQxS | 20:32 |
|---|---|---|
| MariaDiaz91 | And... there is /var/crash/postfix.0.crash : paste.ubuntu.com/p/QSzBt24k37 | 20:32 |
| MariaDiaz91 | oh... the links... | 20:33 |

| diogenes_ | MariaDiaz91, so far upgrading is not even recommended. | 20:50 |
| MariaDiaz100 | diogenes_, thanks for the answer, I've read it on irclogs after disconnecting :3 | 21:42 |
| kryten | That's not true anymore for a few days now though. | 21:43 |
| MariaDiaz100 | Anyway, the same bugs appear. | 21:44 |
| tomreyn | newaliases: warning: valid_hostname: misplaced delimiter: xubuntu.. | 21:45 |
| tomreyn | newaliases: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter myhostname: bad parameter value: xubuntu.. | 21:45 |
| tomreyn | MariaDiaz100: ^ from your first paste, lines 4320, 4321 | 21:45 |
| tomreyn | the hostname should not end with a dot | 21:45 |
| MariaDiaz100 | It never did. The hostname is just xubuntu, without a dot. | 21:46 |
| tomreyn | but apparently the "myhostname" parameter in the postfix configuration file does. | 21:47 |
| tomreyn | s/parameter/option/ | 21:47 |
| MariaDiaz100 | Did you mean to say there was a bug in the postfix configuration file or I didn't understand you? | 21:49 |
| tomreyn | yes, that's what i'm saying | 21:49 |
| tomreyn | in file /etc/postfix/main.cf you have a line saying "myhostname = xubuntu." or similar | 21:50 |
| tomreyn | if it's not in there it may also be in /etc/postfix/conf.d/myhostname or similar | 21:51 |
| MariaDiaz100 | oh, now I'm trying to figure out: was that me who did this bug or the developers? Sorry, insomnias | 21:53 |
| tomreyn | i assume you entered this when you first configured postfix through those "blue screens" | 21:54 |
| tomreyn | but that's just a guess | 21:54 |
| MariaDiaz100 | I surely didn't do anything but entered 'sudo do-release-upgrade' and just waited | 21:55 |
| tomreyn | oh this will have happened before the release upgrade, maybe long before that | 21:55 |
| tomreyn | you're aware this asus eeepc has only 1 GB of RAM installed? | 21:57 |
| MariaDiaz100 | of course, I tried to study what's inside my netbook, but it didn't open properly, I could see only a part of the hardware. So I just gave up. | 21:58 |
| tomreyn | if i recall correctly, the ram is soldered onyto the mainboard, not replaceable, not upgradeable, anyways. | 21:59 |
| MariaDiaz100 | hmm, then... that's strange because I have some kind of a... um... section on the bottom of the netbook. And that is the place where the RAM is. It's interesting. | 22:00 |
| MariaDiaz100 | if it is not replaceable, why is there a section? haha | 22:01 |
| tomreyn | MariaDiaz100: hmm, you're right, i'm misremembering, sorry | 22:02 |
| tomreyn | 2 GB seems to be the maximim | 22:03 |
| MariaDiaz100 | yeah, exactly | 22:03 |
| tomreyn | if you need to keep working with this laptop, i would very muchr ecommend that upgrade | 22:04 |
| tomreyn | might also want to replace the hdd by an ssd, though that's more difficult assembling-wise | 22:05 |
| MariaDiaz100 | I'm still too afraid to replace anything myself. What if I could break something. It's the only computer I have. It's easier to buy a used PC for $10 and do whatever comes in my head than to do described above. | 22:08 |
| MariaDiaz100 | Did you mean the bug could appear because of the small RAM which could bring errors to the upgrade process? | 22:08 |
| tomreyn | no. this is unrelated. the release upgrade failed due to the invalid postfix configuration i told you about. | 22:08 |
| MariaDiaz100 | I still wonder how it remains invalid while I do no wrong things. | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | i could only speculate on this, which i did already. | 22:10 |
| MariaDiaz100 | I tried several times. I install 20.04 mini.iso, write 'xubuntu' as a hostname, and it is successfully upgraded to 20.10. But it was never successfull to upgrade to 21.04, even when I, for a mistake, upgraded to the developers-version | 22:11 |
| tomreyn | you could just install 21.04 directly then | 22:12 |
| tomreyn | or uninstallpostfix before you start the release upgrade | 22:13 |
| tomreyn | (and reinstall it later if needed) | 22:13 |
| MariaDiaz100 | yeah... I'll try that. I suppose Xubuntu Core is not worse than mini.iso | 22:13 |
| MariaDiaz100 | thanks for the support, it's absolutely priceless | 22:14 |
| tomreyn | you're welcome, Maria, good luck. | 22:15 |
| tomreyn | MariaDiaz100: something i didn't mention, is that, after editing the postfix configuration file, you can just resume the upgrade by using sudo apt update && sudo apt install -f && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt full-upgrade | 22:27 |
