Unable to upgrade nav 12 in debian 11 to any upper version.
by Secundino Grau 17 Feb '26

17 Feb '26

Hello, I have a fully working nav 5.12 instance and when I try to upgrade to 5.13, 5.14, 5.15, always have a lot of internal server errors 500 , and I'm unable to get graphite work again. If the process of upgrade is always within debian 11 packages, no success. I tested upgrading from debian 11 to 12, and then upgraded NAV but not success! Please, does anyone know if there are some steps in the upgrade process that I have missed? Thanks in advance, S. Grau

NAV 5.15.1 - My homepage broke
by Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo 09 Dec '25

09 Dec '25

Upgraded to 5.15.1 on my FreeBSD server and my homepage broke. In Chrome and Firefox no widgets are shown and the buttons/menus connected to dashboards are all over the place. See attachment. Edge is limping along, showing widgets, but with dangling search button and the other buttons as shown in the picture. I guess I am missing some htmx-stuff (perhaps not listed in requirements.txt) but I could need some help and pointers... --Ingeborg -- Ingeborg Østrem Hellemo -- ingeborg.hellemo(a)uit.no<mailto:ingeborg.hellemo@uit.no> Dep. of Information Technology --- Univ. of Tromsø
