FS#273 - Installer does clean install instead of upgrade

I ran the 1.9.12 installer and during the startup it detected the previous installment of elive and came up with a box of upgrade or install.

I chose OK to upgrade, but the installer went through the whole install progress and made a complete install instead of an upgrade.

The 1.9.13 installer still insists on a clean install instead of upgrade.

In the Terminal I can se that it recognizes the correct version of the installed system, but it displays 1.9.13 in the gui.

The 1.9.14 installer still does a clean install instead of an upgrade (doesn’t even give the option to upgrade)

KC has reported a similar error some days ago in the channel, the cause was by using a extra /home partition (will you use it?), please try an updated version of Elive (development isos), this feature should work without problems now, very tested

I just performed an upgrade from .37 to .39

I have the following partitions:

  • /boot
  • /
  • /home
  • swap

I get the error message in grub:

elive.message not found

then the grub menu loads up with possibility to load the default elive kernel, and now I have this screen:

Booting 'Elive /vmlinuz-2.6.26.8-elive-686'

root (hd0,4)
Filesystem type is reiserfs, partition type 0x83

Error 15: File not found

Press any key to continue...

Of course grub can't find any files on THAT partition that's my /home partition if I remember correct...

I fixed that by doing these:

find /grub/stage1
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)

The system comes up with the request to run the fine-tune step, but nothing happens!

sl-modem-daemon and modules were installed again.

Juzz commented on 10.08.2009 22:35

After removing sl-modem-daemon and modules and an extra reboot - then the fine-tune process runs.

/etc/sudoers was replaced with default (only root is present in that).

This hasn't been an issue for the last couple of upgrades.

right!, let me close it :)

Btw I have changed the permissions of the reporters, i think that the reporters can close their own reports, not sure now...
