LXD broken after Ubuntu upgrade

garyn · April 29, 2021, 6:35pm

Hi,
I have just been upgrading my laptop from Ubuntu 18:04 to 20:04 and the upgrade got stuck during the LXD uprade. The LXD upgrade GUI went dark and it never recovered, leaving the Ubuntu upgrade rather broken. After a number of rounds of applying updates from the terminal I now have the desktop environment back up, but LXD is broken. I think that it is stuck somewhere in the migration to the snap, perhaps the containers are still at the old location but Ubuntu thinks they should be in the snap?

sudo lxc list
Error: Get “http://unix.socket/1.0”: dial unix /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/unix.socket: connect: connection refused

sudo systemctl status lxd
lxd.service - LSB: Container hypervisor based on LXC

Apr 29 20:16:19 laptop systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: Container hypervisor based on LXC.

I also notice that the lxdbr0 bridge is missing.

I saw an output that said I should run lxd.migrate but that also gives an error:

sudo lxd.migrate
=> Connecting to source server
error: Unable to connect to the source LXD: Get “http://unix.socket/1.0”: dial unix /var/lib/lxd/unix.socket: connect: connection refused

I have one container that is very important to me, so I hope that someone can help me get this working again.

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,
Gary

Can you show:

dpkg -l | grep lxd
snap list
ls -lh /var/lib/lxd/
ls -lh /var/lib/lxd/containers
ls -lh /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/
ls -lh /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/containers/

garyn · April 29, 2021, 7:17pm

Yes, certainly:

sudo dpkg -l | grep lxd
ii lxd 1:0.9 all Transitional package - lxd -> snap (lxd)
ii lxd-client 1:0.9 all Transitional package - lxd-client -> LXD snap

Okay, what does journalctl -u snap.lxd.daemon -n 300 get you?

sqlite3 /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/database/global/db.bin "SELECT * FROM networks_config;"

This should give us an idea of what’s wrong so we can have LXD run a small DB patch on startup to correct it.

I have had duplicate entries before, so I should delete all rows below 21?

stgraber · April 29, 2021, 8:52pm

Wow, that’s pretty special… Yeah, looks like wiping anything below 21 should do it.
You can create /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/database/patch.global.sql containing:
DELETE FROM networks_config WHERE id < 21

Then run lxd --debug --group lxd again and that should get you past that error at least.

This gets everything up and running, so long as the debig command is still running in the terminal, containers can be listed and started and stopped:

However the debug does not finish by itself and so when I Ctrl - C out of the terminal a running container keeps running but lxc list and lxc start container give:

lxc list
Error: Get “http://unix.socket/1.0”: dial unix /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/unix.socket: connect: no such file or directory
root@laptop:/home/gary# lxc stop lamp18
Error: Get “http://unix.socket/1.0”: dial unix /var/snap/lxd/common/lxd/unix.socket: connect: no such file or directory

Perfect, so just run systemctl start snap.lxd.daemon.unix.socket to get it back to being systemd managed and you should be back to normal.

Yes!! It looks like it is working again. Thank you soooo much for your help!
