Not even sure why you have an apt.conf. This is not common. What was in it?

Here my old /etc/apt/apt.conf

APT::Default-Release "stretch";

APT::Install-Recommends "false";

APT::Install-Suggests "false";

I think it's just my fault. I have my machine installation (very old) from 2015/2016 OMV.

On a test OMV 4.x system with the flashmemory plugin installed, this is all I did to upgrade it to OMV 5.x (as root):

apt-get purge openmediavault-cups openmediavault-dnsmasq openmediavault-docker-gui openmediavault-domoticz openmediavault-duplicati openmediavault-eyefi openmediavault-ldap openmediavault-letsencrypt openmediavault-mysql openmediavault-nginx openmediavault-openvpn openmediavault-pxe openmediavault-remotedesktop openmediavault-route openmediavault-shellinabox openmediavault-syncthing openmediavault transmissionbt openmediavault-urbackup-server openmediavault-vdo openmediavault-virtualbox openmediavault-webdav

sed -i "s/stretch/buster/g" /etc/apt/sources.list
sed -i "s/stretch/buster/g" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
sed -i "s/arrakis/usul/g" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
sed -i "/[Dd]ocker/d" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/omv-extras-org.list
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

reboot

apt-get purge openmediavault-omvextrasorg resolvconf
wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/packages/raw/master/install | bash
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

omv-salt deploy run nginx

omv-salt deploy run phpfpm

Maybe it will be useful to someone in my situation.

To upgrade to OMV 5 I had to add this command at the beginning:

sed -i "s/stretch/buster/g" /etc/apt/apt.conf

Thank you so much.
It works perfectly now, thanks.

Thank you Volker, I'm sorry but I didn't find anything on the forum.
I will search about the "not valid database".
Thanks.

After upgrading from 2.x to 3.x I have issues about the "General Settings" tab and "Power Management" tab.

Here the Screenshots

Someone can help me about these problems, or point me to the documentation about it ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys.

I have solved by a combination of the two advices.

To solve the grub error I have reinstalled grub with the "Parted Magic" distro.

Firstly identify your boot drive with the "Parted Magic Mount" utlity.
In my case was :"/dev/sdf1"

then, from the main menu select:
-Boot Utilities
-Boot Loader Restore Utility

Install the new grub on (in my case...) "/dev/sdf1".

After that my OMV box booted fine... but the web interface was not accessible...

To solve this issue:

wget omv-extras.org/openmediavault-omvextrasorg_latest_all3.deb
dpkg -i openmediavault-omvextrasorg_latest_all3.deb
omv-update

after that, reboot the machine.

Now the web interface is accessible.

There are still some minor quirks (that i will investigate later on), but after all the machine works-ish

Thank you guys!

Let me know if I could do it in a better way... specifically, someone with a real knowledge about the "grub" command
has an alternative method (without using "Parted Magic") to solve the issue ???

Thank you guys.
Now I have something to "experiment" about.
I will let you know the results.

Thanks again

Any help to debug my issue ?
I have executed these commands:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
omv-update
omv-release-upgrade

After the reboot i get the grub rescue console.

There is a way to log what happen during the command "omv-release-upgrade" ?

Every time I have to restore the clonezilla image of my system drive because it will not boot...

Any advise is welcome... Tnx!

Hi guys,
sorry to bother you...
After over a year I tried to upgrade from the latest 2.x to 3.x (with the omv-release-upgrade command).
The only plug-in I have installed is Snapraid.
Unfortunately after many attempts I have the same "grub" error console.
If there is a guide about it, please point me there...

Here the system info

Thanks in advance for your help!

Tnx again Aaron, on monday i will try to install the 5.5 version and will post the results.

If I have to use another version of MariaDB (for example 5.5 or 5.1) I have to change just the "Repo" field and keep the same "Key" value ?

Thank you (again!) Aaron for the "superquick" reply

I'm sorry too for refreshing again this topic, is possible to install mysql or (better for me ) mariadb with stoneburner ?

Thanks in advance for the info.

You have exactly the same model of my port multiplier card

Very good news to hear, if it works with the banana a very cheap (and very energy efficient) build of an OMV box is possible.
Please let us know how your tests are going.

I always thought that delay was to help slow down brute force attacks (which it should).

Absolutely right.
I use this setting because a month ago I have isolated my two OMV boxes from external access (from the internet), and in my local network I am the only user.

With putty, on every SSH login to my two OMV boxes, the password prompt was very slow. It was very annoying for me

Today (finally...) I have found the solution:

edit this file:

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

the name of the file is sshd_config with the "D". DO NOT edit the file ssh_config

add this string at the end of the file: UseDNS no

save the file and then restart the service and close the console by running this command:

# service ssh restart && exit

If you do not want to restart the service, just restart the system (or turn off the computer and boot as usual)

I'm very sorry for the misunderstanding.
I have a subscription to the magazine, I have got the issue #9 yesterday.
I don't know when the issue #9 will be available on the LinuxVoice on-line store.

From here, in Italy, the site is up. I don't know for the US.

I have also tested HERE

OMV on LinuxVoice Magazine, issue #9 !!!
