Upgrade --> 22.04 fails every time with hard crash

[LAZA]

- fresh installed testing VM (ESXi 7.0) with all updates

To Do:
sudo do-release-upgrade -d

Upgrade process starts, installation of the first packages work (till man configuration)

Error:
Crashes after installing the next packages, GUI gone

- neither poweroff nor shutdown work on TTY
- had to do a hard reboot with gives me hundreds of broken dependencies and packages

Which Logs are gonna need to find the problematic process/package/script/whatever... ?

This sounds like a duplicate of bug 1965652. Are there any .crash files in /var/crash?

[LAZA (laza74)]

Yes, but none (as i see it) in the dependency of the upgrade.

_usr_libexec_gvfsd-fuse.1000.crash
_usr_libexec_xdg-document-portal.1000.crash
_usr_sbin_cups-browsed.0.crash

I will add them all (just in case...)

[LAZA (laza74)]

I also added ALL from /var/log

Maybe it helps

[Nick Rosbrook (enr0n)]

Thank you for the additional information. Based on the /var/crash files, I will mark this as duplicate of bug 1965652.

[Nick Rosbrook (enr0n)]

Actually, it seems more appropriate to mark as duplicate of bug 1966317.
