# - VirtualBox Guest Additions
# - NVIDIA driver
# - ZFS
# - WireGuard (older kernels)

# Check wireless devices

# Check Python version
python3 --version
 
# The Python minor version may change after upgrading (e.g., 3.12 -> 3.13)
# Note: the 26.04 system Python is protected by PEP 668 and cannot install packages
# directly with pip (including --user). Reinstall dependencies inside a virtual environment —
# after a minor version change the old venv usually needs to be rebuilt:
rm -rf venv/
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
 
# For global command-line application tools, install/reinstall with pipx instead:
# sudo apt install pipx
# pipx reinstall-all

# Check version
mysql --version
 
# Note: MySQL 8.4 removed the mysql_upgrade command;
# the data dictionary upgrade is now performed automatically when mysqld starts,
# so no manual step is needed. Only MariaDB still requires a manual upgrade:
sudo mariadb-upgrade -u root -p
 
# Check table compatibility
sudo mysqlcheck -u root -p --all-databases --check-upgrade
 
# If errors occur, try repair
sudo mysqlcheck -u root -p --all-databases --auto-repair

# PostgreSQL may need data directory migration after upgrade
# Check version
pg_lsclusters
 
# If there are multiple cluster versions (e.g., upgrading from 16 on 24.04 to 18 on 26.04)
# The old cluster is preserved after upgrade
sudo pg_upgradecluster 16 main 18
 
# After confirming the new cluster works, drop the old one
sudo pg_dropcluster 16 main
