Re: Official FutureBit Apollo II/BTC Software/Image and Support thread

Result (i am not sure, whether I should update the kept back ones with "sudo apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade" or not):
Note: The Ubuntu Pro ESM Apps nag message can be ignored IMHO or removed (see https://askubuntu.com/questions/1452519/what-are-the-services-apt-news-and-esm-cache-and-how-do-i-disable-them/)

Code:

The following packages have been kept back:
armbian-bsp-cli-orangepi4-lts armbian-bsp-cli-orangepi4-lts-current armbian-config armbian-firmware armbian-jammy-desktop-gnome armbian-plymouth-theme armbian-zsh libharfbuzz0b linux-dtb-current-rockchip64 linux-image-current-rockchip64 linux-u-boot-orangepi4-lts-current python3-apport python3-problem-report python3-update-manager update-manager update-manager-core
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 16 not upgraded.

Can anyone please give me some advise on this?

I would assume you're not running headless and are using the Apollo via keyboard & Monitor which would indicate you're asking about upgrading the Linux OS on the Apollo. Yes? If so, don't. As I recall, Futurebit advises to NOT update the installed Ubuntu 22.04 OS. Now, if I'm wrong on this or misunderstood your question I apologize. But I would avoid any Ubuntu upgrades via "sudo" until Futurebit approves it. Just my opinion.
