Weekly Changes – 26/06/2023
Our focus remains on upgrading servers to Ubuntu so the changes are mostly related to servers and the DICE environment. Here are the details of the notable changes…
Ubuntu Jammy
In the same way as for Focal, the dbus-user-session package has been removed from the standard DICE graphical environment. This avoids a bad interaction between OpenAFS and Systemd user sessions, see the systemd bug tracker for full details.
Hardware monitoring
The LCFG hardware monitoring utility (hwmon) now ignores any read-only mounts which are in the /run
directory. This avoids an issue on Ubuntu Jammy where it was incorrectly reporting a problem with the /run/credentials/systemd-sysusers.service
mount.
PostgreSQL
Some server option resources are now configured using the PG_OPTION
macro (which takes the name of the option and the required value).
LCFG support for ancient versions of PostgreSQL – 8.4, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5 – has been removed.
Tartarus
The DICE inventory system – Tartarus – will no longer reset the sub-location (e.g. rack/row) information if the new automatically-detected location is identical to what has already been set manually. See bug#3470 for details.
A minor bug in the way the ii
utility handles the --barcode
option (bug#3469) has been resolved.
