Debian Wheezy to Jessie upgrade
What's there to watch out for apart from usual apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && sed -i 's/wheezy/jessie/g' /etc/apt/sources.list && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
? I've encountered couple snags.
1. systemctl: Failed to get D-Bus connection: Unknown error -1
which actually tracks to Debian Bug#763299. Long story short, you're still running SysVinit. apt-get install -y systemd-sysv && apt-get purge -y sysvinit sysvinit-core
.
2. systemd won't boot your system up. Well, this might be dozen things. systemctl list-units -a | grep -i -e fail -e dead
and go search. In my case, systemd had trouble mounting EFI partition and then it tried to mount USB flash that wasn't present. Couple comments in /etc/fstab
and everything was fine and in working order.
But I'm fairly sure this is news as ever. This was an upgrade of my decommissioned laptop
