On the other hand,you can always download latest ubuntu kernel:
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.3.1/

nope, that doesn't work. Says it needs ubuntu

Install the proxmox kernel from omv-extras. Current that will install the 5.0 kernel but the 5.3 kernel is in the repos. You can just apt-get install pve-kernel-5.3 to get it.

On my OMV 4, installing the proxmox kernel from omv-extras gave me 4.15.18-21-pve #1 SMP PVE 4.15.18-48.

apt-get install pve-kernel-5.3 fails with:

E: Unable to locate package pve-kernel-5.3

That's OK.

Since there now appears to be an upgrade path from OMV4 to 5 I'll eventually try it on a spare SSD.

Did you try it before saying nope?

yes. I even wen't into the script and removed the check for the distribution. It ran fine but eventually bricked my OMV installation. Had to reinstall everything

edit: When I said it needs Ubuntu I meant the script after executing checks for the distribution and then aborts after saying it only works on Ubuntu

Somehow I managed before to go to linux kernel 5.2 even without proxmox kernel, but I couldn't remember how (it was from the web GUI though). Thanks for the tip though because I needed something above 5.1 to get my WIFI card running. Now on to the powermanagement issues *sigh*

I upgraded a copy of my OMV 4.x install using that procedure. It was a long slog, over 1000 packages upgraded.

But when it came back up I was left with no working DNS. Pinging by IP works and the GUI is reachable. omv-firstaid redefining the network interface didn't fix it either. If anyone has any ideas I'll try to repair it and look it over some.

YEah,i;m also having that problem. I usually delete /etc/resolv.conf and add my own dns inside it. Must be some systemd problem.

Quote from ryecoaaron

Is systemd-resolved running? You may need to configure /etc/systemd/resolved.conf if omv-firstaid doesn't fix it.

I don't see a systemd-resolved service. So I am guessing that the upgrade didn't work fully.

Nope, backports kernel and ext4 only.

I'll wait a while and try this again. Maybe the bug will be identified and fixed.

I got a bit further on my second try. Instead of uninstalling only OMV 4 plugins that have no corresponding plugin in OMV 5, I removed all the installed plugins and then did the upgrade.

Still, there is no ability to resolve hostnames, and looking into it a bit I saw that the /etc/resolv.conf file that existed in OMV 4 was deleted and not replaced in OMV 5. Once I added that file resolution works. However, any use of the network configuration tool in omv-firstaid or the networking panel in the WebGUI will break the networking again and delete the /etc/resolv.conf file.

After getting resolving fixed I added all my plugins back in. Everything seemed to work well.

At some point I found myself back in omv-firstaid, but I don't remember exactly what I did that really broke things.

Now I get Gateway Not Found 502 nginx when ever I try to connect to the WebGUI. I've tried clearing caches and rebooting but it is still broken. The few threads I was able to read about this were of no help - suggestions were for OMV 4 or earlier and mentioned files and executables I don't have.

There has to be a simple fix for this. As far as I got was apt-get install reinstall openmediavault. Still broken.
