omv-release-upgrade no longer works in 2.1

Zitat von ryecoaaron

omv-release-upgrade on 2.1 would upgrade to omv 3 which does not exist. Therefore, the command is not included in OMV 2. omv-update is all you need.

My version is 2.0.13, how can I upgrade to 2.1?

Via CLI: omv-update
Via WebIF: Just click all the packages which are available on your Updates Page in OMV.

If there are non omv upgrades as well you can do this instead...

apt-get upgrade

I never use the OMV specific command.

Volker suggests omv-update

Nuff said.

Never had a problem David. I have never used omv-update. I'm just saying.

If you don't do OMV related upgrades through the update manager in the web gui you can always have issues. In command line if you do "apt-get -f install" it will normally fix any issues with dependencies. I live by "apt-get -f install". It is first thing I do in command line when something does not completer correctly.

https://sourceforge.net/p/open…vault/usr/sbin/omv-update

export LANG=C
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive


apt-get update
apt-get --yes --force-yes --fix-missing --auto-remove --allow-unauthenticated \
  --show-upgraded --option DPkg::Options::="--force-confold" dist-upgrade

I hope this answers why Volker implemented and suggests users to use it. So could we please agree to suggest users to use omv-update too and be cool again? Thanks.

I think I know what I am doing. I don't need your help. Sorry.

I don't get what your problem is. What is so hard in suggesting the tool that Volker designed, to take care of all contingencies, to the users? I didn't tell you to use it.

1) You did not read my first post.
If there are non omv upgrades as well you can do this instead.

2) If you are in interactive mode with the terminal you do not need these:
--yes --force-yes --allow-unauthenticated --show-upgraded

3) apt-get -f install takes care of this. As I stated in another post above.
--fix-missing

4) The autremove is subjective. You should run this on your system mostly after uninstalling
packages to see if there is anything orphaned and not needed anymore.

5) This tells the package not to modify the default config... I think this is default behavior in APT.
--option DPkg::Options::="--force-confold" dist-upgrade

less user interaction. Again, omv-update is the clean solution that takes care of (nearly) everything

2) If you are in interactive mode with the terminal you do not need these:
--yes --force-yes --allow-unauthenticated --show-upgraded

less user interaction, you don't have to hit yes on actually installing updates when using omv-update

3) apt-get -f install takes care of this. As I stated in another post above.
--fix-missing

less user interaction, you don't have to type it when using omv-update

5) This tells the package not to modify the default config... I think this is default behavior in APT.
--option DPkg::Options::="--force-confold" dist-upgrade

less user interaction - even though this is default, you still have to accept it if not run via omv-update

You are so wrong I just laugh.... Not less then having to afterwards run apt-get upgrade for the other packages and then go through same again.

How long have you used Linux??? 10 year plus..

apt-get dist-upgrade includes apt-get upgrade. Nothing is held back when using omv-update

I didn't look at the dist-upgrade when I copied the option over. But here is biggest reason why dist-upgrade is dangerous for newbs. If he did not use omv-update with the dist-upgrade this would have been held back..... Maybe holding back is protective... you think?

Can't install transmissionbt

Then look at instuctions here...

Problems with sources.list?

omv-update served him well..................

If memory serves several other people were upgraded to Jessie by this...

Sorry, your system is fragged. Reinstall............

This would've happened with the WebGUI too, hell it would've even happened with apt-get upgrade if he hit y...

Blaming omv-update to cause this problem is just nonsense... The system was convicted by the moment the sources.list was altered, omv-update just took the place of the executioner and did the job it was asked to do, like every other option would've done so too....

I think it even happened to KM0201. I guess it is better to know what commands you are running. I usually only use dist-upgrade manually with kernel upgrades or release upgrades. When do you ever see held packages? Not that often.

It would have happened with the update manager. And it is not a good thing.
