So, the time has come to upgrade my Ubuntu Server LTS 16.04 to the latest LTS 18.04…
It’s a straight-forwards upgrade, easy-peasy, right?
The Triumph Defeat of Hope Over Reality
Compared to what Linux used to be in the recent past, the upgrade via the stock 16.04 UI went fairly smooth…
I already knew that I had to do the standard ZFS pool upgrade:
sudo zpool upgrade <poolname>
But after the whole upgrade was done, I tried to VNC into the machine again after it rebooted… and failed.
2018/12/25 Update:
I suddenly noted that my Unifi Controller was no longer working… I later discovered that it was due to the Ubuntu LTS upgrade… Another day, another battle…
