[ubuntu-studio-users] Offer to upgrade failed

Thu Jan 17 05:30:20 UTC 2019

I have tried this, and I keep getting reminded about the blocked updates, and the refusal to upgrade to the latest version.

Here is my latest effort:

Heya Paul,

     It sounds like there were some upgrades that hadn’t been processed yet.

sudo apt update  

sudo apt upgrade -y 

sudo dist-upgrade -y

At the run those command you should be able to do the

sudo do-release-upgrade

Best of luck to you!

Respectfully,

Do-release-upgrade still wanted me to update my packages first. With the package updater, I got the names of three packages that were “blocked from update”. 

On the command line, this is what I got when I tried to remove the “blocked” packages:

This is all I have. Let me know if this helps.

Hi Paul,

There are some instructions for upgrading from 16.04 & 17.10 to 18.04 here (which seems to be what you have done):

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_16.04_LTS_or_17.10

As you have hit errors, it might be better to follow the Ubuntu Server update instructions and do a "sudo do-release-upgrade" on the command line. Then it might be easier to copy and paste any error messages on an email to the list.

There are places you can retrieve the apt logs, but you probably won't need to if the error is obvious to us here.

Regards,

Ross

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu Studio 16.04.xx, and I noticed that I was offered, through the “software updater”, an opportunity to upgrade to the next LTS version. I cliked the button that said “Update …”, and all the window does is disappear, with no further response. I have tried this several times.

I have had what I call minor problems with the software updater in the past, where it would say that update has failed for some unknown reason, I dutifully click “send report”, but in fact, the system was updated, but for a few Python packages which look old, and “blocked” from update.

It appears as if the “minor” problems may be causing update to fail. I cannot find any system log that tells me what crashed, although I managed to read one of my reports that Software Updater would send, and I remember seeing a message that apt had crashed (I recall it was apt and not aptd). I did not see information there that gave a reason.
