STICKY: How to upgrade a Wheezy image to Jessie (both defunct and replaced versions of Raspbian) [thus obsolete]

[andrewjs18]

so I read through the original post and did the changes that I didn't initially do and ran:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

this is a more helpful error output:

Note for those following this guide: Don't copy and paste the instructions to type into the terminal for after the first boot. Or if you do, make sure you edit them so that whenever you see a long '-' replace it with the standard minus symbol.

some day ago i updated two of my raspberries with 8gb sd card to jessie. everything went without major glitches except one thing that almost killed my upgrade process:
dphys-swapfile, in the jessie default, sets the swapfile to a calculated value with a max of 2gb. on one box i did accept the new file. in the following step it calculated a swap file size of a little less than 2gb, which it tried to allocate, but filled my sd card to 100%.
killing some processes from another terminal window and deleting the file from /var/swap helped me to go on.
the raspbian default in dphys-swapfile is:

Code: Select all

CONF_SWAPSIZE=100

which sets the swap file to a fixed size of 100mb.

maybe some of the posters which ended up with a full sd card ran into the same issue..

Hi all,

I thought I would update my PI last night, and when I went through to do the update, I got the following...

It still went ahead and did the dist-upgrade and the box is working, but the sudo apt-get update is reporting the above warning messages. Anyone know what this is?

There are no other files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, just the raspi.list and the contents of that and the sources.list files match the OP content.

W: Ignoring Provides line with DepCompareOp for package pypy-cffi-backend-api-min
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems[/code]

this warning can be safely ignored. it is caused by a new "Providers" line in the jessie apt lists.
as this is not supported by the old wheezy apt-get you get a warning.
as soon as the dist-upgrade completes, apt-get will know how to handle those lines.

Smashing. I restored my original image and tried again (this time using screen to be able to return back to the upgrade process) and that time i got the results i needed. I think the first time round, the upgrade hadn't worked properly.

Thanks

[stulch]

I've followed these instructions, my pi was upgrading for hours, and I think only the themes cp didn't work, like a few others have said however, I still seem to still have the same Wheezy desktop. Any ideas where I go from here?

[stulch]

...and when I log out it still comes up with the 'Logout LXDE 8.0 session ?' window.

[mikerr]

Just succeeded in converting a wheezy install to a Jessie using the instructions in the first post
but it took hours - really consider using a fresh Jessie image next time !

Only problem is I don't have the Wifi connection GUI - top panel just says "no wifi interface found"
despite that I did get wifi working by adding details manually in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
    ssid="SSID"
    psk="password"
    }

Hi!

Sorry for being slightly late, had a remote, local samba server still on Wheezy (all updates done) and started the update. After some hours and the first reboot I'm stuck with

Code: Select all

...
[OK] Reached target Network
...
[OK] Started LSB: NFS support files common to client and server.
Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to...
 

No network (No route to host), no nothing. Can't even ssh into the machine to get some more details.

Any advice? (Except for: fresh install...)

PS: Sorry, had to comment out the NAS hdds in fstab, now things are going ahead, apparently...

[N7QNM]

Data Point - I have several Pi's that are running wheezy in remote and headless configurations, I just tried this process to upgrade one of the oldest (1st Gen Pi B) and it worked just great. I did "apt-get dist-upgrade (no "y") and looked at each config, installed most of 'em but kept a few.
