| systemdlete | would it be advisable, during a dist upgrade, to reboot between the apt upgrade and apt dist-upgrade steps, as instructed in https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/install-guides/chimaera/upgrade-to-chimaera ? | 23:37 |
| systemdlete | my upgrade is (finally!) finishing up the apt upgrade part of the beowulf->chimaera portion on its way to daedalus (I hope to get to daedalus) | 23:37 |
| systemdlete | oh wait... I am upgrading a VM! So I can snapshot it and try, although I am not sure if other than a successful mid-effort reboot if the system would be stable at that point? | 23:40 |
| debdog | systemdlete: depends on kernel package you're using. in case a meta package is used, a reboot makes senses | 23:43 |
| systemdlete | whatever the default is | 23:43 |
| systemdlete | I haven't selected any specific kernel package that I am aware of | 23:44 |
| systemdlete | so whatever it was when it was installed | 23:44 |
| systemdlete | sorry I can't seem to be more specific | 23:44 |
| systemdlete | I tend to use the generic package rather than a specific release so that kernels will get upgraded without trouble | 23:45 |
| systemdlete | if you "get" what I mean... not sure of the correct nomenclature for this | 23:45 |
| systemdlete | so, I install linux-kernel-amd (or whatever it is) | 23:46 |
| systemdlete | rather than linux-kernel-amd-blahblahblahversion | 23:46 |
| debdog | default is meta pckage | 23:46 |
| systemdlete | I guess that is a meta package | 23:46 |
| systemdlete | ok | 23:46 |
| systemdlete | so a reboot makes sense | 23:46 |
| debdog | makes sense, but not required | 23:47 |
| systemdlete | well, it just took a day to do that one apt upgrade and I am wondering about ongoing stability | 23:47 |
| systemdlete | I mean, I am not too worried, but I'd hate to lose another day upgrading 868 packages | 23:48 |
| systemdlete | again | 23:48 |
| debdog | but then there are kernel dependend drivers, like nvidia stuff. so, in those cases you will prolly like to reboot | 23:48 |
| systemdlete | OK, well I have snapshotted the whole business, so if there is a problem I can get "back" | 23:48 |
| debdog | but until you reboot, the older modules will be used | 23:48 |
| systemdlete | After the apt upgrade completed, I saw some mtp-probe errors on the console | 23:49 |
| systemdlete | that's for, like, android, right? | 23:49 |
| systemdlete | (mtp) | 23:49 |
| systemdlete | so maybe I don't need to worry about those | 23:49 |
| debdog | hmm, IIRC, yes. some smart phone media transfer protocol or such | 23:50 |
| systemdlete | also, debdog, I have needrestart installed, and at the end of the apt upgrade, it is saying that a whole bunch of stuff is out of date | 23:50 |
| systemdlete | so I think rebooting makes a lot of sense | 23:50 |
| systemdlete | I'm going to cold reboot just to ensure that the VM starts clean | 23:52 |
