I'm having weird problems with my dist-upgrade. dpkg --configure -a seems to hang all the time, i cannot start or stop any services.. and to gain access to the system i've had to start sshd in the rc.d script manually. It seems nothing will really start/stop.. I've also tried apt-get install -f with no avail.
Yep.. I can see in systemctl that the dbus.service didnt start, and systemd-modules-load.service didnt either.. You think i could just delete the lock file for dpkg, remove the packages according to this: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/wheezy-2-jessie.69979/#post-329581 then carry on again? I have a backup in the system.. although i'm not 100% on how to restore, or even what to restore.. I'm also in DK btw
I've gone ahead and solved this with a mixture of restoring some backups.. deleting systemd and rebooting.. seems to have worked. upgrading 1 of 7 servers to jessie.. the first one went like hell.. must be an easier way.
Checkthis: http://without-systemd.org/wiki/ind...systemd_from_a_Debian_jessie/sid_installation Although i don't see this as a solution to my problem - i'm looking on backing the whole server up, and reinstalling deb. 8 and manually restoring as the upgrade broke, and messed up on so many levels..
I just found this thread that looks like it might be helpful and talks about removing systemd https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/wheezy-2-jessie.69979/#post-338660 Thanks!
I upgraded several servers from deb 7 to deb 8 already without having any issues yet, they were all based more or less on the perfect server setup. I used: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-upgrade-debian-wheezy-to-jessie-stable-release/ Then a ispconfig update with reconfigure services so that all config files get updated to versions that match the newly installed software and then login to ispconfig and run Tools > Resync on the websites to update the apache vhost files to apache 2.4 syntax.
