      Basic service status tells me nothing.

      bna@bnauc02:~$ sudo service unifi start
      Failed to start unifi.service: Unit unifi.service is masked.
      bna@bnauc02:~$ sudo service unifi status
      ● unifi.service
         Loaded: masked (/dev/null; bad)
         Active: inactive (dead)
      bna@bnauc02:~$

        Try starting the service and then looking at the log. Didn't Ubuntu move to systemd now as well? Might want to try the systemd version.

        sudo systemctl start unifi
        
        tail /var/log/syslog
        

        I could well be wrong about the change to systemd.

                A google result the other night said something about the switch to java 8 with 16.04

                but i cannot find that again this morning.

                    This was the link I found about Java 8. but this was related to an install failure and not an upgrade.

                      Have you tried to "Unmask" the service?

                      systemctl unmask unifi.service
                      

                      Ubuntu 16 does definitely make the switch to Systemd.

                        And I fixed it.

                        I changed the repo back to stable

                        ## Debian/Ubuntu
                        # stable => unifi4
                        # deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian unifi4 ubiquiti
                        # deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian unifi5 ubiquiti
                        
                        deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian stable ubiquiti
                        
                        # oldstable => unifi3
                        # deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian unifi3 ubiquiti
                        # deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian oldstable ubiquiti
                        

                        told it to update/upgrade and nothing changed.

                            ==== AUTHENTICATION COMPLETE ===
                            Failed to restart unifi.service: Unit unifi.service is masked.
                            

                            Have you tried to "Unmask" the service?

                            systemctl unmask unifi.service
                            

                            Ubuntu 16 does definitely make the switch to Systemd.

                            Too late i fixed it by reinstalling over itself apparently.

                              If I had realized that stable was not 5.0.X, I would have not changed to stable. Likely saving myself some steps.
