[04:55] <peachdu> Hello!
[13:56] <anipinto> When trying to update to 24.04, I had put on hold snap package. The do-release-upgrade failed and right away some programs failed with missing library: libcrypto.so.3. Is there any way to restore the system usb live ubuntu or only reinstalling?
[13:57] <anipinto> I put on hold snap due firefox and using xfce as Desktop Environment.
[15:36] <tomreyn> anipinto: if you have backups, you can restore them, otherwise a fresh install is probably a good idea. i assume you are aware that upgrades are not yet supported.
[15:38] <anipinto> tomreyn: the upgrade was suggested by do-release-upgrade. I think I was able to restore enought for it to start.
[15:39] <tomreyn> anipinto: were you on 23.10 or 22.04? what's the exact do-release-upgrade command that suggested the upgrade?
[15:42] <anipinto> I was on 23.10 and simply ... I think was a simple do-release-upgrade ... no sure if I may add '-d'
[15:42] <tomreyn> i think you must have added -d
[15:43] <anipinto> but if upgrade not supported, should continue? or allow to do it? didn't see any warning message
[15:44] <tomreyn> quoting https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NobleUpgrades "If you want to upgrade early, before upgrades are officially supported, you can pass the -d option when running do-release-upgrade. Do this at your own risk. It is advised to check the release notes for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS before doing so."
[15:44] <tomreyn> by specifying -d, you have effectively overridden the warning
[15:45] <anipinto> ok ... noted, I normally used '-d' to upgrade to non LTS versions
[15:45] <tomreyn> that's not how you'd do that either
[15:45] <tomreyn> you'd change the release type you want to upgrade to 
[15:46] <tomreyn> "Make sure the Prompt line in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades is set to 'normal' if you want non-LTS upgrades, or set to 'lts' if you only want LTS upgrades. "
[15:46] <tomreyn> i'm referring to the server section here, but you have equivalent options on the GUI
[15:47] <anipinto> always learning ... I still have two more pcs to update, I will wait to be supported and hope to run smoothly
[15:48] <tomreyn> it's always a good idea to read the ubuntu flavor's as well as ubuntu's own release notes before you start an upgrade.
[15:50] <tomreyn> to have the best chance of your upgrade succeeding, i'd also recommend to uninstall any software and downgrade any software versions installed from 3rd party repositories, and to disable those repositories before you start.
[15:51] <anipinto> one of the problems, I think was having snap marked to not be installed 
[15:53] <tomreyn> that's one of the issues which should no longer occur once the upgrade path has been tested
[15:53] <tomreyn> or rather once it's been declared stable
[15:55] <anipinto> tomreyn: thanks for your time
