Canonical Bringing Livepatch Support to HWE Kernels

Ubuntu Pro subscribers will be able to apply reboot-free updates to more Linux kernels from July. As spotted by our friends at Neowin, Canonical announced Livepatch support for Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernels starting this summer. The first HWE kernel being covered as part of this support extension is Linux 6.2, which will be backported from the Ubuntu 23.04 release and pushed out to users of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Livepatch is a feature only available on long-term support (LTS) versions of Ubuntu for users with an active Ubuntu Pro subscription. When enabled, Livepatch allows users to install kernel updates (on eligible :sys_more_orange:

@arstechnica that's nothing new.

Good OSes like #UbuntuLTS support #Livepatch|ing for a decade now.

@beastieboy666 @PW_75 trotzdem sinnvoll automatische Updates durchzjpr7geln und regelmäßige Reboots zu machen - trotz #Livepatch|ing...

What is the ‘Ubuntu Pro’ Banner in Software Sources About?

A few readers have mailed in to tell me they’ve spotted a new promotion for Ubuntu Pro in the Software & Update apps on Ubunu 20.04 LTS. The banner isn’t a nag screen; you have to open the Software & Updates tool (which is often referred to as the ‘software sources’ utility) and click on the Livepatch tab to see it: Livepatch is Ubuntu’s LTS-only reboot-free kernel update mechanism which is especially handy in situations where rebooting a system (or a fleet of systems) to apply a security update is …unideal. Chances are those looking to enable Livepatch are the :sys_more_orange:

Eine Frage an meine #linux Bubble, gibt es eine Möglichkeit bei #Debian 10 einen Kernel #Livepatch einzurichten für den Server? So das dieser nicht ausgeschaltet werden muss um auf einer neuen Kernelversion zu laufen? Hab bisher nur Kernelcare gefunden. Kostet aber etwas.

Für Ubuntu gibt es den Livepatch. Müsste theoretisch auch bei Debian laufen.
