{{Warning|
<div style<nowiki>=</nowiki>"color:darkred">The Amahi staff '''team strongly''' recommends the [[Amahi_8_Install|Amahi 8 Install installing from Scratchscratch]] over the Amahi 8 Upgradeupgrade.<br />
<br />
There We have tested the fairly clean upgrade cases (with no/few modifications), on virtual machines. In general there are too many variables involved to 100% ensure success, therefore we can '''ONLY''' stress that you . You must accept risk that your Amahi Server could break if you perform the on upgrade. We can only provide limited support on a case-by-case basis!<br />
<br />
There have been successful cases with the upgrade, but those were systems that used [[Express Disc]] install for [[Amahi 7]]. There were no manual system modifications or applications installed when performing We can only provide limited support in the upgrade.<br /><br />Cases that have failed appear to be related to installed applications or manual modifications, such as [https://wwwforums.amahi.orgforums] and [http:/apps/VNC VNCtalk.amahi.org IRC], though in some cases only [[commercial support]] or Gnome Desktop added to the system.<br /><br />We are still gathering data, but will continue to recommend a new install over an upgrade of as the existing [[Amahi 7]] systembest option.</div><br/>}}
:'''NOTE:''' There is no upgrade path from [[Fedora_14|Fedora 14]] or [[Ubuntu|Ubuntu 12.04 LTS]] to [[Amahi_8|Amahi 8]]. This will require a new install. The [[HDA OS Migration Guide]] might be helpful.
= Upgrading Amahi 7 to Amahi 8 =
== Preparation ==
We '''recommend you turn on a temporary DHCP server''', (e.g. in your router) since the network may go down for the duration of the actual upgrade.
All commands are executes as <code>root</code> user or precede commands with <code>sudo</code>
* Apps should be Works best if apps are uninstalled to ensure success* Ensure you have '''NOT ALL''' apps available in Amahi 7 are fully operational for Amahi 8. Check the [https://www.amahi.org/apps App Store] before proceeding.* Back up your data backed up as a precaution
:'''NOTE:''' If the upgrade does not let you due to issues with (for example) extra packages aded added by Amahi-installed apps, you may want to add ''--nogpgcheck '' option, i.e.<blockquote><div style="border: 1px solid #A3B1BF; padding: .5em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #E6F2FF; margin: 3px 3px 1em 3px; text-align: left"> sudo fedup --network 21 --product=server --nogpgcheck</div></blockquote>
You may see warnings similar to the following warning but you can ignore them for now. We will clean it up before the upgrade is complete.
:<i><pre>WARNING: problems were encountered during transaction test::broken dependencies:perl-PlRPC-0.2020-13.fc19.noarch requires perl-4:5.16.3-266.fc19.x86_64:ruby-mysql-2.8.2-9.fc19.x86_64 requires ruby-libs-2.0.0.353-16.fc19.x86_64:Continue with the upgrade at your own risk.</pre></i></div><br />
Once the previous fedup command is complete, reboot the server (the command will tell you):
The actual upgrade will take place now, so you will not be able to access the server (or possibly the network) until it is complete.
It would be good to have a monitor/keyboard on the system to cover the risk that the upgrade process becomes stuck somehow. This also should let you keep up with progress.
Once the upgrade is complete, from the command line execute:
:<i><pre>perl-PlRPC-0.2020-13.fc19.noarch has missing requires of perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.16.2):ruby-mysql-2.8.2-9.fc19.x86_64 has missing requires of libruby.so.2.0()(64bit):Error: check all</pre></i></div><br />
To correct these issues, remove the two bad packages (though this could be dangerous if you had a lot of apps installed (in which case we do not recommend it):
