INSTALLING NOMACHINE ON UBUNTU UPGRADE
This time I selected a few options differently ("don't change the contents of this file, leave them as is", rather than letting the upgrade overwrite them) and it completed with no issues. I was then able to change SDA1 to my "working" drive, and I ran the upgrade again from within the Ubuntu Live environment. Once I had the data backed up, I ran an Ubuntu Live CD on that VM and mounted SDA1. I may have accomplished it EVENTUALLY, but it would have taken all weekend, and it was Friday dammit! So I managed to transfer off the entire well, I was too nooby at that time. Oddly, the data was definitely still there. Reinstalling GRUB, putting a new linux image in the boot folder, etc etc. So I tried about 10 million different things from Googling. System couldn't see it's storage anymore. Did I mention that the VM could no longer find SDA1? Yeah. Always verify your backups BEFORE doing an upgrade!!! So the upgrade fails mid upgrade. Mistake #2: I had a backup, but turns out it was only a file level backup. It had been running on an ancient server and I had done a P2V conversion a few months earlier. This was a very old web server, very out of date, previous IT guy never upgraded it or patched anything. Mistake #1: try to upgrade from an ancient 8.04 LTS Ubuntu OS to 12.04 LTS on a Thursday night.
INSTALLING NOMACHINE ON UBUNTU INSTALL
I went through the install process and after the install it said to add any users to the lpadmin group that you want to have remote desktop permission. I decided the other day to install NoMachine on my Ubuntu desktop and my Windows laptop as remote desktop has always seemed to be smoother for me than VNC.
