Ubuntu Boot Issues

I never looked. Why is it only 228M?

Maybe it was imported as an appliance or something.

I have had some appliances (Graylog, I'm staring at you) that set up odd partition sizes that crippled the system quickly.

Ubuntu's default partitioning makes the boot partition really small. I usually go in and make it bigger when I install Ubuntu.

Here is what Ubuntu did on my UniFi controller. It has a 127GB vhdx because I was lazy and just clicked next through the VM creation wizard.

In the week or so since we discussed "Why CentOS and not Ubuntu" there are like 3 of these annoying types of things every day.

It has a 127GB vhd

Holy crap that's big

Hyper-V default VHDX size in the New VM screens.

So I just tried to upgrade my UniFi controller since I noticed it was stuck on 16.04. Apparently when it upgraded from whatever previous version it was on, the release flag got set to only upgrade to the LTS line /sigh...

/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades was set to Prompt=lts

I changed it to Prompt=normal and then did the upgrade. Boom not enough space on /boot.

@JaredBusch When I upgraded to 16.10, it also disabled the unifi repos and I had to go in and enable them again.

That is normal with ever distribution upgrade in unbuntu. i know and expect that. part of the upgrade process is to disable all 3rd party repos.

brianlittlejohn

@JaredBusch Good to know... this was the first time I upgraded a distro and didn't realize that would happen.

This right here is hateful.

New release available run this.

Run that, and no release found ugh - but linux is so much the easy.

Read that,.//

Did that,

JaredBusch

I never bothered to check syntax, google told me to do this.

bnaadmin@bnauc02:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d

It worked.

I'm not out to learn Ubuntu practices.

yea,.. just did that too..

Still showing no release found.

JaredBusch

Honestly, you spent too much time on this. I would have performed a backup and installed a new system then migrated.

You only have to install to the same version to make it all work.

I mean that screen shows it is Ubuntu 14.04 FFS

Really thinking that also. Tired of being jerked around on something so ' simple and easy'. When it works it is...

What version is the controller itself?

Currently 4.x - I don't recall right off, and don't directly feel like signing into it. New VM created, just need to get an ISO mounted to start the install. But as it's not critical - Monday task.....
