Hi,
I am not a linux noob but new to Raspberry. I have a Raspi based device which was running Stretch. I wanted to upgrade to latest LTS so followed this tutorial:
How to Upgrade Raspbian Stretch to Raspbian Buster
e.g.
Editing the sources list - replacing Stretch with Buster. Everything seemed to work fine, however after reboot I got just console.
The first error is:
Failed to start Load Kernel Modules
I am able to login and tried to use apt update / upgrade but always get Temporary failure in name resolution error message - for apt, ping etc. Tried to follow using various internet tutorials using nameserver, dhcp and hosts but no luck.
Looks like my Raspi cannot connect to internet - I do not have a router with cable here - expected to resolve this by using my phone as usb modem but does not works apparently - getting same errors with or without the usb connected.
Any ideas what to do? Doing fresh install would probably force me to do all the settings again (not sure if rewriting /home with backup would help much, there is also Samba share set up etc.)...
Would appreciate any help
PS: also have a normal linux (Kubuntu) laptop here so I am able to do various things without need to do everything from console
