Can't update to latest release

I am using the stable updates channel and haven’t been able to update to the latest version. If I attempt to update it runs but ends up doing nothing. When the “update” is finished it just returns to the changelog page where I initiated the update. Also I can only use the unsupported kernel 4.2.5-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64. If I reboot, I get a kernel panic and the only way to boot in is use the unsupported kernel.

Everything is working fine but I would like to keep things updated. Am running Rockstor as a Proxmox VM. Not sure what specs are pertinent so if you need specs I’ll do my best oblige.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

@Marinerdevil Hello again. First of I think there may well be some clue as to why the update is failing in the following log:

less /var/log/yum.log 

pageup and pagedown keys and ‘q’ key to quit: for others less familiar with the less command.

As a quick promo of a recent contribution by @Flyer as of 3.8-13.11 testing channel there is now a fancy log viewer in System - Logs Manager so if all goes well this should end up in the next stable release to come out.

That should give us some clue at least. If it’s not an obvious sort then do paste what you thing looks relevant here so we can get more eyes on it.

On the kernel front we have several reports of more reliability in boot on the 4.2 than the 4.4, especially when booting from a USB device. The hope is that soon we will move to something >= 4.5 but this hasn’t happened just yet.

Hope that helps.

here’s the output in it’s entirety…I know you said post “what you think looks relevant”, but I have no idea what is and isn’t relevant here.

@Marinerdevil Yes sorry my instructions were incomplete.
From that output the dates are from Feb 03 and don’t show any issues, ie all happy Updated or Installed lines.
What we need to see is the end of the file, (lots of Page down keys or the G key, ie shifted g). So if you try the update via web UI again and then look at the resulting log and be sure to scroll down to where the update you just initiated via the Web UI logged it’s actions we may have more useful info as it should explain why it didn’t want to upgrade the Rockstor package.
Thanks.

Yep, that’s it!

Attempted another upgrade and then ran the log file. Page downed until it said “end”…got the exact same output.

Hi @Marinerdevil, are you still unable to update to latest stable Rockstor? What version are you at right now?

No I can’t…running 3.8-11

@Marinerdevil OK, thanks. So it looks like there has been no yum activity since Feb 03 which is quite unexpected. To try and get more info you could execute the following command in a terminal as root:

yum update

and note any questions etc.

All confirmed activity there should be logged in the previously referenced file anyway so you can always look back to the /var/log/yum.log file later to see what happened. This should at least give us a clue as to what is blocking your upgrades.

Let us know how it goes and we can take it from there.

I have just done the same on a 3.8-12.07 system (testing channel updates) and after confirming the proposed update of a given list of apps and a web browser refresh on the Rockstor UI it indicated 3.8-13.12.

Hope that gets us a little further.

Did the update. It updated a whole pile of packages. As I scrolled back through the list to “note any questions etc” I saw this…

–> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: systemd conflicts with dracut-033-241.el7_1.5.x86_64
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 240 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), ‘yum check’ output follows:

followed by the list of the problems. Thought it might come under the category etc… Would you like me to post this list?

Then I attempted an update through the web interface and still the same result. Then referred back to the log file and still only entries from Feb 3.

NO joy :cry:

Looks like an upstream package conflict. I have not seen this on my machines. You could try yum update --skip-broken as suggested by the error message. It requires a bit of care, but following the guidance from yum’s own output, you should be able to repair the system. Let us know how it goes.

not inspiring me with confidence here.

OK, i’ll give it a swirl.

Will have to do it tomorrow evening when I can stay up all night fiddling with it. I promise, if something can go wrong it will when I do these things. Fortunately I enjoy the challenge.

stay tuned

After running yum update --skip-broken it ran a zillion lines and finished with this error…

Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:

     1. You have an upgrade for libstdc++ which is missing some
        dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
        solve this by installing an older version of libstdc++ of the
        different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
        yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
        requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
        --exclude libstdc++.otherarch ... this should give you an error
        message showing the root cause of the problem.
   
     2. You have multiple architectures of libstdc++ installed, but
        yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures.
        If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
        can remove the one with the missing update and everything
        will work.
   
     3. You have duplicate versions of libstdc++ installed already.
        You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.
   
   ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
   this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
   do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
   much more problems).

I tried #1 but got a similar output as plain’ol yum update

Rockstor is strictly x86_64. It shouldn’t download/install i686 packages by default. Have you installed some program outside of yum that required/installed 32-bit dependencies?

Not to my knowledge or recollection.

I have Rockstor installed as a Proxmox VM and haven’t strayed off the ranch at all. The only thing installed, in addition to the basic Rockstor, is the PLEX rockon.

What output do you get from this command:

egrep -v "x86_64|noarch" /var/log/yum.log

[root@ciacco ~]# egrep -v “x86_64|noarch” /var/log/yum.log
[root@ciacco ~]#

ZIPPO!..zilch…nothing…nada…goose egg

tried a couple of time, copy pasted and typed it

UPDATE

OK, after getting an announcement email about 3.8-14 I figured, what the hell I’ll give it a try.

I updated and made some progress, I guess. Now after reboot I get…

at least now I can boot in without the kernel panic and having to use an old kernel. But now I can’t turn on rock-ons or samba. So now I am dead in the water. :disappointed: :cry:

I already submitted a ticket.
