Hi Dave. Upgrade procedure was as defined as manual upgrade in the
Release Notes. dnf was switched of as described.
urpmq --list url shows only distrib/7 lines. urpmi --auto-update shows "packages are up to date"
/proc/cmdline contains
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.3.7-desktop-4.mga7 root= <some long UID>
nokmsboot splash quiet noiswmd resume=<some long UID> audit=0 3
Graphics card is AMD Radeon R5
I have seen problems when using nokmsboot on my systems. Sometimes I had
to remove it, sometimes I had to add it. I was funny that I had to add
it to get gui login, I change grub to use it, reboot, and had to remove
it. No pattern.
The upgrade process was interrupted because the electricity company
turned off the power for two hours, which killed the router. When power returned, I merely continued with urpmi --auto-update --auto --force and
the download continued. I did have script active for the first part -
just scanned through it. Several warnings eg "perl:setting locale
failed", but no errors.
I have setup my pull/install_updates script to use --download-all --test
to pull down all rpms and test if install should work.
I then do the install by removing the --test option.
I would not be comfortable with your perl failures especially if I were
doing updates and had a power fail.
My script uses "script" to have a log of activity which I scan for
error, warning, fail, fail,.... and I do not normally see problems.
If you have a spare ~30 gig amount of space for a partition, and fast
internet connection, I would suggest a clean network install.
