McDebian Updates


McDebian Stretch Upgrade to Buster 4.19.91

Notes:

This upgrade can be done without changing all your Debian configs.

After the "apt-get upgrade" hostapd service will fail since in Debian 10 the hostapd.conf DAEMON_CONF setting has been deprecated.

To resolve this issue run the below commands:

#New setup for Hostapd with Debian Buster
systemctl disable hostapd
systemctl enable hostapd@wlp1s0
systemctl enable hostapd@wlp2s0

Firmware:

Follow "Flashing firmware from McDebian" instructions to upgrade to McDebian 4.19.91 firmware. https://github.com/Chadster766/McDebian/wiki/2.-Firmware-Uploading#flashing-firmware-from-mcdebian

Below is my recommended upgrade path:

#McDebian Stretch Kernel 4.19.91 Updates
cd /

wget --user=mcdebian --password=mcdebian123 http://www.protechs-online.com/downloads/McDebian/rootfs-updates/mcdebian-rootfs-kernel-modules-firmwares-updates-v4.19.91-ver1.gz

rm -rf /lib/modules/*
rm -rf /lib/firmware

tar zxfk mcdebian-rootfs-kernel-modules-firmwares-updates-v4.19.91-ver1.gz

#Upgrading McDebian Stretch to Buster
sed -i 's/stretch/buster/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

#Recommended answers to questions during the upgrade process:
#Restart services during package upgrades without asking? (Answer No)
#Services to restart for PAM library upgrade: cron (Select <Ok>)
#Start the MiniSSDP daemon automatically? (Answer No)
#Interfaces to listen on for UPnP queries: (Answer Ok)
#Configuration file questions I recommend "N" unless you want to compare the new against the old and take what you need to update the config file with "Z" option.
#What do you want to do about modified configuration file sshd_config? (Answer "keep the local version currently installed")

apt-get full-upgrade
apt --purge autoremove
reboot

#Disable minissdpd if you like
systemctl disable minissdpd

#Confirm upgrade is complete
cat /etc/debian_version
uname -a
