I have tried to update mageia 7, but ran into problems.
The method used to begin update was Upgrading online, using mgaonline (GUI) https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_8_Rel ... _.28GUI.29
- Code: Select all
su -c 'mgaapplet-upgrade-helper --new_distro_version=8'
Unfortunately, the lock screen trapped me twice. The first time, I managed to recover control thanks command:
- Code: Select all
loginctl unlock-session c5
So after a few minutes, without a GUI, I switched to a virtual terminal tty to check what's going on. As the repositories were bound to mageia 8, I ran the
- Code: Select all
urpmi --auto-update
...
A restart showed a screen initiation where the keyboard was not responding. In the center of the screen, three gray question marks were successively changing to white. After a while, I rebooted for a rescue mode. The latter is more verbose. Shortly, it is possible to read:
- Code: Select all
udevadm: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-246.so: undefined symbol: crypt_activate_by_signed_key, version CRYPTSETUP_2.0
/init: line 96: [: -gt: unary operator expected
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd_shared_246.so: undefined symbol: crypt_activate_by_signed_key, version CRYPTSETUP_2.0
/init: line 157: [: _lt: unary operator expected
udevadm: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/system_/l1bsystemd-shared-246.so: undefined symbol: crypt_activate_by_signed_key, version CRYPTSETUP_2.0
/lib/dracut-lib.sh: line 541: [: -ge: unary operator expected
udevadm: symbol lookup error: /usc/lib/systemd/libsystemd-libsystemd_shared_246.so: undefined symbol: crypt_activate_by_signed_key, version CRYPTSETUP_2.0
Then the display goes looping, and fills the screen with:
- Code: Select all
/lib/dracut-lib.sh: line 531: [: -ge: unary operator expected
udevadm: symbol lookup error: /usc/lib/systemd/libsystemd-libsystemd_shared_246.so: undefined symbol: crypt_activate_by_signed_key, version CRYPTSETUP_2.0
I then went for a chroot, from a freshly installed mageia 8 on an spare partition.
- Code: Select all
urpmi --auto-update
- Code: Select all
su -c 'mgaapplet-upgrade-helper --new_distro_version = 8'
Then came the time to update from a USB key dedicated to netinstall. The process completed successfully, but boot still shows the same errors.
What can I do now?
Attempting to temporarily uninstall systemd?
