jba Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I just installed armbian buster on my NAS (odroid HC2). Everything works perfectly. However, as debian bullseye has become stable and I expect this to happen for armbian also in the near future, I am thinking about how to do the upgrade. This is mainly because all my other boxes run bullseye and administration becomes a lot easier if all systems run the same version. In addition, I will have to do the update anyways at some point in time and therefor I want do it when armbian bullseye becomes stable. Reading through the forum I found out it is not supported. However, I am using debian now since woody and have done a lot of upgrades since then, I think I will try it for armbian also (of course after making a full backup). I already read that i should do a freeze in armbian-config (disable kernel upgrades). Having done this, can I just start upgrading to bullseye the debian way (as it is described in the bullseye release notes). And after finishing this I would disable the freeze, which would allow the kernel update also? Any thoughts on this procedure? Anything else I have to do and that would be different to vanilla debian? Regards, Jürgen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-6 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I would just make a backup of the SD card and try. Please report back about your experience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please report back about your experience That is my plan. But I was hoping that somebody would share his experience. I do not believe nobody tried this before. I am still unsure how to deal with the kernel. What I will try is freezing it, doing the upgrade/dist-upgrade and the unfreeze the kernel and do a kernel upgrade. As armbian bullseye is not yet stable I will wait until it is. And report how it worked after the upgrade. Hope it works because installing and configuring everything was a lot of work and I don't want to do this with every new debian release.

Heisath Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I did the upgrade from Buster to Bullseye. As far as steps: - Backup - apt update & full-upgrade - Disable /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list all entries to stop armbian from upgrading - Use normal debian upgrade steps -> Change release in /etc/apt/sources.list - apt update & full-upgrade - Restart, validate working system - Update /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list with new release (buster->bullseye) - apt update & full-upgrade - Should be done. Take extra care for some new/renamed packages. armbian-bsp-cli-<BOARD> is new. Older armbian-root-* packages dont exist anymore (I think). For me this worked flawless, you might have to fix some dependency problems, and make sure at least some working version of armbian-image-* armbian-dtb-* is installed before rebooting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jba Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 I now did the update to bullseye. Worked without problem like described by Heisath. Here is what I did in detail: # apt update # apt upgrade # nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list -> comment out the armbian repo # nano /etc/apt/sources.list -> change from buster to bullseye # apt update # apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs # apt full-upgrade # reboot # nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list -> reenable armbian repo # apt update # apt upgrade Zitat make sure at least some working version of armbian-image-* armbian-dtb-* is installed before rebooting. On my system it was not "armbian-image-* but "linux-image-current-odroidxu4". What took me some time is checking the changes in conf-files. Armbian did some changes and when installing a new version I was asked whether I want to use the new (bullseye) version or the existing ones (armbian changed buster). Normally I want to have a mix: The new config file (there might be some new options), but with all the changes that had been applied to the old one (mostly done by armbian). Would be easier if armbian would mark all the needed changes. But now its done. everything works. jba 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jba Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 In my (bullseye) sources.list I have deb http://security.debian.org/ bullseye-security main contrib non-free This works. I cannot tell if your line also works. If its wrong, apt should tell you. Strange that your system still says its buster. Did you do all the steps as described in my post? Any error messages? Whats in /etc/debian version? jba 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that we should updtae in armbian repo from bullseye to jammy, but looking at the sources.list - the repos there (http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/) doesn't contain any jammy versions. Any tips on that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajvuik Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 @Dombo 71 You can't go from Ubuntu to Debian. They are not compatible. If you are on Ubuntu Focal, you need to upgrade to Jammy NOT Bullseye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
