05. Packages

Have you made a snapshot of installed working system? Make one if not.

Do this at the installed VM (from root user):

• apt-get update

  • should produce output and no errors

• update-kernel

  • should install new kernel in parallel with current one

    • as 2020-04-29 it is kernel-image-std-def-1:5.4.32-alt1

    • Look for boot sequence alternation: essential modules search, initrd packing, grub re-configuring

  • should install new kernel modules equivalent to current ones

• apt-get dist-upgrade

  • should upgrade about of 120 packages and can delete some

• apt-get install color-prompt-and-man

• apt-get install dia

  • Should ask you to install additional packages

• apt-get remove libvlc

  • Should ask you to remove more packages (vlc suite)

• Reboot, log in back to root

• check the VirtualBox suite:

  • rpm -qa *virtualbox* | sort

  • see if you have any kernel modules here

• if not, install virtualbox-guest kernel module back in, so you can copy+paste from/to VM

  • apt-get install kernel-modules-virtualbox-addition-guest-std-def xorg-drv-vboxvideo

H/W

Complete all tasks. Pay your attention at last tasks (check if the system has virtualbox-addition-guest module and install it, if it doesn't).

Create 05_Packages directory on sugon server.

• Install the sos package in VM

• Run sosreport binary from root. It will create system info file.

• Scp the file it had created to the 05_Packages directory on sugon server.
