Not getting the ability to upgrade

It's been disabled for now. http://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel-6-officially-out-yes-really-time#comment-31795

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade -d

or

$ sudo update-manager -d

Use at your own risk.
For me it worked just fine.

Unfortunately, the upgrade broke my machine. I'll do some backups and try again from a clean install.

"Unfortunately, the upgrade broke my machine. I'll do some backups and try again from a clean install."

Yep, this is why upgrading is disabled. Please don't upgrade at this time. Your package manager will prompt you when it's safe. In the meantime, just sit back. :)

If you absolutely must use Trisquel 6 for some reason, do a clean install. It's safer.

Trisquel 6.0 LTS Upgrade now appears in my Update Manager, but after running through several installation steps, UM says that an upgrade is not available and returns the system to its original state.

My computer is running 5.5.

FYI.

Just upgraded a machine from 5.5 to 6.0 using UM. Worked great. Thanks!

Hi all,

Unfortunately, after:

$ sudo update-manager -d

I got this error:

Could not calculate the upgrade

An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.

Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'

Any suggestion?

Many thanks in advance.

My package manager shows the option to upgrade, but after downloading the tools, I always get an "authentication failure" message and nothing proceeds. I am running 64-bit 5.5 on an Asus Eee 1015.

OK Jayn and myself have the same problem. https://trisquel.info/en/forum/trisquel-40-55-reach-end-life-may-9-2013#comment-33538

I will continue in this post.

The sources of both of you look fine.

Did you do

sudo rm -f /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch

and

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

prior to attempting upgrade?

Same here. I still get authentification error with the update manager.

$ sudo do-release-upgradeComprobar si existe un nueva versión de Trisquel

this terminated because it needed 780Mb of free space. So I will try to release some space.

I had 9 Gb of free space. I really cannot release any more space.

Could this have to do with EXT4 being a limited size? And having the home on the other file format? I am not sure if that is my case or did I end up using ext4 for the whole drive. How do I go about checking that.

BTW

$sudo do-release-upgrade

goes a bit farther than update manager.

Tried again, seems like I have liberated some space. But this mainly had to do with uninstalling texworks and gcompris and other programs. Not so much the /home. Which makes me think that I have to continue to uninstall programs.

and sudo apt-get clean

Yes! some progress! I had to go to synaptic and uninstall libre office and loads of TeX documentation and software. I finally got downloading.

Remember in synaptic to say remove completely. Also do the apt clean command.

I will let you know how I get on. But it seems to be downloading nicely.

Ah! remind people willing to try again that I used

$sudo do-release-upgrade

to upgrade. I did not get the upgrade manager to authenticate.

Upgrade complete! I was using gnome shell and it stuck to gnomeshell. Even the background stayed. The start up animation is stunning.

Great job guys thank you!

Only thing left is that the search engine in gnomeshell went back to default and it removed my configuration.

For the record: the upgrade requires space in the root filesystem. If /home is on a separate partition, removing movies will not help. Some easy ways to free the root filesystem (potentially a lot):

• Uninstall dependencies that became unecessary (check out the list before accepting!):
  $ sudo apt-get autoremove
• Erase all .deb packages (the packages, not the installed software):
  $ sudo apt-get autoremove
• Remove all Linux kernels (image and headers) but the latest version you are currently using

Thanks! would you say that the first two are done by 'janitor'?

last one means i would go to synaptic and search for linux headers and delete the ones with smallest version number?

thanks!

I tried sudo do-release-upgrade and it went through the process. At the end, it said upgrade complete but there was something that did not complete. I ran do-release-upgrade again and it still said something was not completed. Upon reboot, things looked the same. I ran the Update Manager and I got a dialog saying 'Partial Upgrade'. When I clicked it, it said that I could not upgrade from brigantia to toutatis with that tool. I am tempted to burn a CD and try to install over just my root partition and hopefully leave my /home one alone. Has been frustrating so far but I think it has to do with running 64-bit, which in my opinion is overrated.

When I do it now, it just says "no new release found." but I do get this:

senobyte@senobyte-1015PN:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libnih-dbus1 : Depends: libnih1 (= 1.0.3-4ubuntu9.1) but 1.0.3-4ubuntu2 is installed
libnih1 : Depends: libc6 (< 2.14) but 2.15-0ubuntu10.3 is installed
zlib1g-dev : Depends: zlib1g (= 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu4) but 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu3 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

I have tried to reinstall libc6 from Synaptic but it does not work.

When I try to fix the broken packages, I get:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libgpg-error-dev comerr-dev libkrb5-dev user-setup libgnutlsxx26 libgssrpc4

libkadm5clnt-mit8 libkadm5srv-mit8 libkdb5-5 krb5-multidev libldap2-dev
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following extra packages will be installed:
libnih1

dpkg: error processing libc6 (--configure):
libc6:amd64 2.15-0ubuntu10.3 cannot be configured because libc6:i386 is in a different version (2.13-20ubuntu5.3)
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc6
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Do I remove the i386 packages with apt-get, or by deleting them?

I checked the dpkg directory for the multiarch file, but none was there.

I have successfully upgraded my 32-bit HP Mini with 'sudo do-release-upgrade', so all that remains is my 64-bit netbook. Searching for :i386 in Synaptic only showed that perl was the only relevant thing installed, the other *386 packages were not installed like libc6. Last year, for my HP Mini, it came to backing up, and reinstalling over the whole drive. It may come to that, but I will wait for a while.

I found out that the problem is that the libc6-i386 is version 2.13, while the libc6-amd64 is 2.15 and this is preventing libc6 from being configured. 'sudo-do-release-upgrade' no longer works, but my system is clearly not 6.0. The latest libc6-i386 i can find to download from the Trisquel package site is 2.13, so I am not sure what I can do manually to fix this.
