Xenomorph posted:So Ubuntu 15.10 just came out, and it's forcing TRIM on a system that doesn't support it. I've worked through kinda the opposite issue, but can't think of anything except compiling the kernel with that option turned off.

Is anyone aware of changes to the policy/philosophy of "apt-get dist-upgrade". I imaged a server today with 14.04.1 LTS and was surprised to find lsb_release reporting 14.04.4. Unhappy with a short support (five months) release I locked it down a bit more and reimaged it to straight 14.04.1 from the iso, which did report as such. When I went to apply updates dist-upgrade wanted to pull in base-files, which updates reported release to current. This behavior certainly differs from 10.04 and 12.04 LTS/HWE behavior, though I doubt they ever stated a policy clear enough to hold them to. Since these servers are for production I can't have them going out of support after a few months, or changing kernel lines on me, so 14.04.4 is really not what I'm after. It seems as though it might be 14.04.4 in name only, as it still has the 14.04.1 3.13 kernel. Well gently caress, I checked https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack "Kernel/LTSEnablementStack (last edited 2016-02-19 09:09:11" indicates all 14.04.x less then .5 will go out of support once that is out except for critical cve/secruity. gently caress ubuntu for servers. e: didn't scroll over far enough still gently caress ubuntu server.

Applebees posted:The minor version reported by lsb_release doesn't matter; it's bumped every six months when they update base-files. What matters is if you have a HWE kernel installed, which is brought in by linux-generic-lts-* packages. The v3.13 kernel (Trusty 14.04 GA kernel) is supported for five years. You're right, I tested it on some old systems in need of upgrade. I guess I've been living in a bizarre world where servers are out of date before I'm even hired. I still don't like it.

I've not force reverting anything, I'm installing the OS as distributed on the ISO and then testing what happens with and without letting it pull packages during and after install.

Those updates you are forcefully reverting are the support you say you want
