| Ninten | Hi, folks! Hope you're doing well. I'm in need of technical support, as I plan to upgrade Xubuntu from 20.04.5 to 22.04.2 LTS. Since 20.04 uses BIOS, but 22.04 uses UEFI, will the upgrade get me a bootable computer? Last time I tried it, I got into Emergency Mode every time I attempted to boot. It's true, though, that now I have a vfat partition, from a previous clean install of 22.04.1 that | 18:25 |
| Ninten | didn't go well. For the record, I have two flash drives: one for backup, and one for Xubuntu 22.04.2, in case something goes wrong. Thanks in advance! | 18:25 |
| rfm | Ninten, I've never had trouble booting 22.04 from BIOS. What made you think 22.04 required UEFI? | 18:55 |
| Ninten | rfm, What made me think 22.04 required UEFI was the clean install I did last September, which created a vfat partition. | 19:02 |
| rfm | Ninten, pretty sure the installer always creates an EFI partition now even when booted from BIOS. | 19:05 |
| rfm | Ninten, yep, just checked a recently installed vm that just has bios and it has an EFI partition. | 19:09 |
| Ninten | rfm, okay! I'll backup my data and try to upgrade! Thank you so much for the clarification | 19:18 |
| rfm | Ninten, you are doing the upgrade by running do-release-upgrade, right? Not trying some strange thing like booting the 22.04.2 and installing over the old install? | 19:20 |
| rfm | Ninten "boothing the 22.04.2 iso" I meant | 19:21 |
| Ninten | rfm, rest assured I'm doing do-release-upgrade. If things go awry, I'll just format the Linux partition and install from a flash drive. Methinks this is the way to go | 19:24 |
| Ninten | I couldn't help but notice this line during do-release-upgrade: "Could not execute systemctl at /usr/bin/deb-systemd-invoke line 142" Am I in trouble? | 22:16 |
| Ninten | I guess this is it guys! Upgrade is complete, I only have to restart my computer. Wish me luck! | 22:36 |
| Ninten | It worked! Thanks, rfm and everyone involved with Xubuntu development and support! | 22:43 |
| rfm | \o/ | 22:44 |
| rfm | That deb-systemd-invoke message just looks like a minor sequencing glitch, probably in restarting stuff. doesn't matter since you were going to reboot at the end of the upgrade anyway | 22:46 |
| Ninten | systemctl reminded me of Emergency Mode, so I thought I would end up there on reboot. But I'm gGlad it was just a minor glitch! | 22:51 |
