Kernelupdates

[Rüdiger Kupper]

Ich finde es raus. Die Frage ist, ob wir sämtliche Sicherheitsupdates
abstellen wollen (dann müsste ein Eintrag in der apt-Konfig reichen),
oder nur bestimmte.

Das Kernel-update hängt übrigens sicher mit Meltdown/Sectre zusammen...

Konfigurationsfile für unattended-upgrades:
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades. Da kann man insbesondere Pakete eintragen, die nie aktualisiert werden sollen:

// Automatically upgrade packages from these (origin:archive) pairs
//
// Note that in Ubuntu security updates may pull in new dependencies
// from non-security sources (e.g. chromium). By allowing the release
// pocket these get automatically pulled in.
Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins {
        "${distro_id}:${distro_codename}";
	"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-security";
	// Extended Security Maintenance; doesn't necessarily exist for
	// every release and this system may not have it installed, but if
	// available, the policy for updates is such that unattended-upgrades
	// should also install from here by default.
	"${distro_id}ESM:${distro_codename}";
//	"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates";
//	"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-proposed";
//	"${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-backports";
};

// List of packages to not update (regexp are supported)
Unattended-Upgrade::Package-Blacklist {
//	"vim";
//	"libc6";
//	"libc6-dev";
//	"libc6-i686";
};



// This option will controls whether the development release of Ubuntu will be
// upgraded automatically.
Unattended-Upgrade::DevRelease "false";

// This option allows you to control if on a unclean dpkg exit
// unattended-upgrades will automatically run 
//   dpkg --force-confold --configure -a
// The default is true, to ensure updates keep getting installed
//Unattended-Upgrade::AutoFixInterruptedDpkg "false";

// Split the upgrade into the smallest possible chunks so that

//Unattended-Upgrade::MinimalSteps "false";

// Install all unattended-upgrades when the machine is shutting down
// instead of doing it in the background while the machine is running
// This will (obviously) make shutdown slower
//Unattended-Upgrade::InstallOnShutdown "true";

// Send email to this address for problems or packages upgrades
// If empty or unset then no email is sent, make sure that you

// 'mailx' must be installed. E.g. "user@example.com"

// Set this value to "true" to get emails only on errors. Default
// is to always send a mail if Unattended-Upgrade::Mail is set

unattended-upgrades komplett deaktivieren kann man im conf-file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "1";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";

Wenn man dort in der letzten Zeile "0" einsetzt, finden gar keine automatischen Updates mehr statt.

Anbei: Wenn Virtualbox/Infosys nicht läuft, reicht es auch, auf den Lehrerrechnern auszuführen

apt update
apt install virtualbox virtualbox-dkms

Das aktualisiert sowohl Virtualbox als auch das Kernelmodul.
Das ist vielleicht besser als das ganze Image syncen.

erledigt. Unattended upgrades sind im neuen Image komplett abgeschaltet.
