Automatic updating fails, but manually it works fine
My system fails to update automatically, but manually updating works fine, both application and ujust.
- Checking the timer, it is activated and does try to run the service.
However, the service fails with a generic error exit-code returned after finding the update.
See attached the output of
journalctl -xeu ublue-update.service and systemctl status ublue-update.service, although they give no actual error message, just the fact it fails.3 Replies
And the actual timer and service files
maybe late but try
sudo topgrade --config /usr/share/ublue-update/topgrade-system.toml and confirm the breaking change notif by topgrade 15.0.0. Quit on the second error (when distrobox tell you "Running distrobox-upgrade via SUDO/DOAS is not supported". Test to run systemctl start ublue-update.service and systemctl status ublue-update.service
the breaking changes :
── 19:08:21 - Topgrade 15.0.0 Breaking Changes ─────────────────────────────────
# Git: Pull Repos
1. The output of "Pulling <repository path>" has been moved behind the
--verbose flag / [misc] configuration block.
# Configuration
1. The enable_winget configuration entry in the windows section has been
removed because it will not cause any issues and will be enabled by default.Thanks for the suggestions Artan.
Unfortunately after doing the steps, the original error as described in OP is still occurring.
The command
sudo topgrade --config /usr/share/ublue-update/topgrade-system.toml does not give any reference anymore to a breaking change, which I think is a good thing that it is now passed this. However, both the timer and manually starting the service give this generic error as described in OP.
So it seems that this was not the root cause of the issue; or one of multiple.
(and yes, I did restart after running the topgrade command, forgot to mention that)
