Please advise on 2.2 -> 2.4 upgrade issues - lite098765 - 04-03-2015
Sorry to be a PITA, but the upgrade process clearly doesn't work for me, and I don't see how it even could. Here's a bit from lite-upgrade-series2. Note that it is executed without sudo. The first call it makes is MKDIRBUPS, again without gksudo. It tries to create a backup directory under /etc/skel, which is owned by root and is not publicly writable: drwxr-xr-x 21 1000 root 4.0K Dec 1 01:57 skel. So, it is either my permissions are off or the upgrade script is broken. I have everything updated and upgraded. What should I do?
Code:
# Set functions for non-root execution
# The ones that need root go to the other file: lite-upgrade-system-series2
MKDIRBUPS() {
echo "#Creating back up directories..."
sleep 2
mkdir -p /home/$USER/.llupgradebackup/2.4
if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then
echo "#Error"
sleep 2
zenity --error \
--title="Error" --text="There was an error while\nCreating back up directories!\nUpgrade canceled."
exit 1
fi
mkdir -p /etc/skel/.llupgradebackup/2.4
if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then
echo "#Error"
sleep 2
zenity --error \
--title="Error" --text="There was an error while\nCreating back up directories!\nUpgrade canceled."
exit 1
fi

You must manualy make a directory with superuser privileges
Press Ctrl+Alt+T to open Terminal
Code:
sudo mkdir -p /etc/skel/.llupgradebackup/2.4Type in:
Code:
gksudo leafpad /usr/bin/lite-upgrade-series2Code:
# Set functions for non-root execution
# The ones that need root go to the other file: lite-upgrade-system-series2
MKDIRBUPS() {
echo "#Creating back up directories..."
sleep 2
mkdir -p /home/$USER/.llupgradebackup/2.4
if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then
echo "#Error"
sleep 2
zenity --error \
--title="Error" --text="There was an error while\nCreating back up directories!\nUpgrade canceled."
exit 1
fi
# This line has a hash at the begining and will not execute
# mkdir -p /etc/skel/.llupgradebackup/2.4
# if [ "${PIPESTATUS[0]}" -ne "0" ]; then
# echo "#Error"
# sleep 2
# zenity --error \
# --title="Error" --text="There was an error while\nCreating back up directories!\nUpgrade canceled."
# exit 1
# fi
}Run lite-upgrade-series2
Cheers

Nope, still doesn't work. It is either your script file is different or your /etc/skel permissions are more permissive. It just can't work they way it is written. Advise?
