| clivejo | is unattended updates turned on in Ubuntu or Kubuntu? | 09:22 |
|---|---|---|
| clivejo | historical I keep auto updates turned off as I have limited internet and like to choose when I update the system. But recently (past 1-2 weeks) Discover is throwing warnings that the lock file is locked and it looks to be the auto updater | 09:27 |
| clivejo | It's still turned off in system settings, so why is it locking the file and installing packages without permission!? | 09:28 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:22 |
| Eickmeyer | clivejo: unattended-upgrades is a systemd process and isn't controlled with system settings. "sudo systemctl disable unattended-upgrades.service" will stop it from running at boot. However, I do not recommend for two reasons: | 15:29 |
| Eickmeyer | 1) unattended-upgrades cleans old kernels from your /boot except the last two, and 2) it updates snaps for you. | 15:30 |
| Eickmeyer | Without that, 1) your /boot partition, if separate, can fill-up and cause big, big problems, and 2) snaps won't necessarily get updated because they can't run at the same time they're being updated. | 15:32 |
| Eickmeyer | I mean, you can do all of that with manual intervention, but you probably don't want that headache of system maintenance. | 15:33 |
| clivejo | well it used to respect System Settings > Software Update > Update Software : Manually until recently | 18:39 |
| clivejo | I have managed my kernels for years and don't need a "helper" doing it for me without my permission! | 18:40 |
| clivejo | regarding snaps, don't use them and don't want to use them! | 18:50 |
