Overview

Linux Control Center (LCC) has the Package Check Update feature, which facilitates version management of all packages on environment hosts. The Package Check Update action connects to the remote repositories already configured on the target hosts, looking for metadata about packages with available updates. After retrieving the metadata, the Linux Control Center checks the current packages on the machine in its database, and if there is a newer version based on the received metadata, it will be marked as "Upgradable".

Objective

The purpose of this document is to demonstrate how to use the Package Check Update action in LCC.

Running Package Check Update

  1. In the left side menu of LCC, click on Hosts.

  2. Check one or more boxes for the desired hosts and click the Actions button.

  3. Select the Package Check Update action.

  4. Confirm the action by clicking Yes.

  5. Open the host where you sent the Package Check Update action and click Actions History.

  6. Wait for the Package Check Update and Photography actions to reach the Processed status.

The Photography action is responsible for retrieving information about packages, user accounts, and various data from the host and inserting it into the LCC database. This is how LCC displays detailed and accurate information.

  1. After the action completes successfully, go back to the General screen.

  2. Click Show Packages.

  3. To finish, check the Packages Updatable box to filter all packages available for update.

  • The icon inside the red circle indicates that the package has an update available from the repository.
