Ubuntu Pro & Cloudron
-
It looks like livepatch is out of beta now.
It gets activated automatically when you attach your machine to your Ubuntu Pro account:sudo pro attach insertyourtokenhereIt did not require the installation of ubuntu-advantage-tools.
However, on my Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (Cloudron) machine, is asked me to install an update of these tools.
On my Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (non-Cloudron) machine, it already seemed to have the latest version.
That brings me to a question @girish: Is it OK to upgrade to 22.04.2 on the Cloudron machine? -
@girish said in Ubuntu Pro & Cloudron:
@nichu42 yes, should be OK to update the tools.
Thanks, but actually my question was about Ubuntu itself. Is it OK to upgrade from 22.04.1 to 22.04.2?

Note: keeping the installation up to date doesn't upgrade to the kernel (5.15 -> 5.19)
-
To check if you already have the new kernel:
sudo apt list linux-generic-hwe-22.04 --installed -
To install the metapackage for the new kernel:
sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-22.04 --install-recommends -
Otherwise:
sudo apt install --install-recommends(add an-sto first simulate updates)

How do you know that if the live patch is enabled?On the documentation, I only see that kernel 5.15 is supported and not 5.19.

@random_eric I took my information from here: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2023/02/ubuntu-22-04-2-download

How do you know that the live patching is enabled for that kernel?
I just don't know how to check.-- edit --
Found it:
canonical-livepatch statusreturns
last check: 23 seconds ago kernel: 5.15.0-67.74-generic server check-in: succeeded patch state: ✓ no livepatches needed for this kernel yet tier: updates (Free usage; This machine beta tests new patches.)last check: 1 minute ago kernel: 5.19.0-35.36~22.04.1-generic server check-in: succeeded patch state: ✗ kernel version not supported tier: updates (Free usage; This machine beta tests new patches.)So based on the pattern in the docs,
the 22.04 hwe kernel will only be supported for live patching once the 24.04 LTS is released. -

I was checking the livepatch status and received the info that I need to update the ubuntu-advantage-tools. I did that, and during the installation it told me that I need Kernel 6.2.0-26-generic, which has been now automatically been scheduled for installation. Feeling brave, I did a reboot. Now I am indeed running 6.2.0-26-generic:
last check: 38 minutes ago kernel: 6.2.0-26.26~22.04.1-generic server check-in: succeeded kernel state: ✓ kernel is supported by Canonical until 2024-08-13 patch state: ✓ no livepatches needed for this kernel yetNo issues so far with Cloudron or any apps (although, to be honest, I don't even know if there are any problems to expect when doing a kernel update).
Anyway, while I'm on it. Is it advisable to go to the recently released Ubuntu version 22.04.3 LTS?
