I stayed away from 1.18 on linux after lots of reports of broken upgrades, reading the posts I thought it best wait till 1.19 when these upgrades could be fixed (or at least a working solution)
Please tell me more about your 18.04 installation.
The test which determines whether systemd or SYSV-init is solid.
If the script cannot identify one of those two, and it’s not a recognized container, it will flag as an unsupported init/systemd hybrid.
This will happen if the system is still using upstart (from Ubuntu 15).
What is the origin of this installation (original Ubuntu version installed)?
What does cat /proc/1/comm return?
what does which systemd and which init return?
Lastly, when you evaluate each of the two paths (for systemd and init) with readlink <pathname> what do they return?
# Let's see what we can learn from this system
# Detect true control program (init or systemd)
if [ "$(cat /proc/1/comm)" = "systemd" ]; then
# If systemctl exists, we're doing ok so far
if [ "$(which systemctl)" != "" ]; then
Systemd=1
fi
# If this looks like init, be careful of redirectioon
elif [ "$(cat /proc/1/comm)" = "init" ]; then
# Verify it's not a redirected init -> systemd
if [ "$(readlink /sbin/init)" = "" ]; then
Init=1
elif [ "$(readlink /sbin/init | grep systemd | wc -l)" -gt 0 ]; then
Systemd=1
else
Output "Unsupported init/systemd hybrid control configuration."
exit 1
fi
please do a cat /etc/os-release and share here please.
Everything you show me indicates it’s still Ubuntu 15.
Ubuntu 15 and Upstart support was discontinued by Canonical when 16.04 was released. (it’s how they do the even/odd year thing). Because of that, I can’t support any of the odd-numbered years either.
I paste the detection code in plex.sh file and run it that I newly created.
I got error message
-bash: plex.sh: line 12: syntax error near unexpected token `elif’
'bash: plex.sh: line 12: ` elif [ “$(cat /proc/1/comm)” = “init” ]; then
