Oh, partial upgrade is the worst. Technically it’s still supported until next year as oldoldstable so it should be fine to directly upgrade if you ask me but I understand the changes affect many things and upgrade process actually check things from the previous version, so if one upgrade directly it might go bad. That’s probably why Arch Linux can get borked if you haven’t updated for a long time.
I agree. It’s mostly fine but these upgrade processes could be much better.
I heard some people use openSUSE MicroOS as their servers but my servers were always Debian and I’m quite happy about it. Though immutable server sounds nice. But I wouldn’t consider anything until my server is completely broken, so there is that. :)
I feel like 13 introduced more changes than 12. By the way, I finally took the leap and upgraded to 13. Kinda YOLO’d though and it needs some fixing in configs but currently everything I expect works, so this will be a very slow fixing process I reckon. :)
Good luck with the upgrade!
I mean, give the shutdown command like this, not after already choosing it via menu. This way you may catch what’s wrong. Also, you can check the logs when you boot next time via journalctl -b -1 but to make it easier maybe this one should be more helpful journalctl -b -1 | grep -i shutdown
It’s a headless server, so I’m thinking “how bad could it be” but I would be more cautious.
Well, if there are issues like even in normal upgrade, it’s better not to jump on a thing like this.
Still, it’s good to know that this is technically possible, though it’s not for a lazy person who just wants to update his server. Gotta check Debian changelog.
Switch to a TTY and do “sudo poweroff”. See what happens. I feel like this is more likely a systemd issue.
I know what I’m doing but looking at every comment here, it’s not a wise thing to do it seems. So casual or not 11 > 12 > 13 is the proper and most likely still the easiest way. It’s a good thing that I asked before doing some potentially mad thing.
Well, certainly not gonna be a tester. If it isn’t tested, there is no need to take things further. Thanks for the guides by the way.
Yeah, that makes sense. Major changes in software are no joke. If it wasn’t my actual server I could’ve tried it though, could be a fun thing to pass time.
I guess you can talk to Steam Support about it but there might be some other reason for this.
These days I just install Aurora Linux for this kind of situations. It’s exactly how you described it. Haven’t heard complains about it yet and their tech service needs from me almost dropped to zero.
US military bases in the far East are a mess. Everytime some rape incident happens in Okinawa base, they don’t let Japan to trial those soldiers. Forced prostitution is not so different from rape either.
It’s possible. They’re known to overproduce many things in the end.
Yeah, I misunderstood. $15 for all 4 of them? That’s great. I’m surprised they can make it that cheap.
Oh I went 11 > 12 > 13. But haven’t really checked all the configs from 12 to 13, there are many new ones too.
