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.

Found it:

canonical-livepatch status

returns

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 yet

No 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?

At the moment with 7.5 only Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 are supported.

Ubuntu 24 is released? Where did you get this from?

[nichu42]

Sorry, I'm talking about 22.04.3

[girish]

@nichu42 that you can safely upgrade to

Is there any compatible issue with Ubuntu Pro and Cloudron if I enable this feature? Currently I am using Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS.

[joseph]

@IniBudi there should be incompatibility but afaik you don't need Ubuntu Pro for Cloudron. Any specific reason?

@joseph
I came here with a similar (I think) question's asked by @IniBudi
I can't find anymore the specific of what I will claim, but ....

Once upon a time, I remembered that Cloudron was saying to not doing the update (maybe during the installation or the first login) that Cloudron was taking of them.
In that sense, (https://docs.cloudron.io/updates/) mentioned that; fairly, Cloudron do a backup before updating.

With that in mind; I was thinking also of activating Ubuntu Advantage on my Cloudron; but...

• Does that means that
  • Cloudron lose control on the update ?
  • I might create incompatibility because I don't (actually never) read the ChangeLog before updating ?
  • ...

Totally, completely, assuredly, obviously. Why pay for this "pro" service when Cloudron already manages the server? Cloudron IS the thing managing the server, and by that, also Ubuntu. Choose one.
