Hi Brain Trust,

So, about 5 minutes before I went on my holibobs (lovely, BTW) I finished the beta upgrade to Ubuntu 20.10.

There is a BIG schoolboy error involved here, because what idiot upgrades a "production" systems the morning that you go on holiday??

Anyway, I seem to have lost the ability to serve web pages, and also ssh onto my box.

Both Apache2 and ssh servers appear to be running:

It's going to be something simple, but I'm tired from travelling and can't spot it:

Firewall.

Is this a home system on a LAN? Presumably the console output you included was done on the machine itself, which has an otherwise fully working network connection?

I don't know how you access the machine (via IP or DNS hostname) but have you checked to see if the machine has simply changed it's IP address and you're not connecting to the "old" address?

Finally can you connect locally to sshd and apache from the machine itself?


PS:
I decided to dist-upgrade my main workstation to 20.10 in the middle of a lengthy support call the other day whilst I was trying to remote control a client's systems. Needless to say it was a mistake so don't worry, you're not the only one with bad timing... What can I say, the upgrade was too tempting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
