Enable esm-apps on armhf

cn flag

Since recently, it seems to be possible to get updates for software in universe by attaching it to a (free) Ubuntu Pro subscription.

This has worked on my desktop (amd64), so I also tried to do it on my NAS (armhf). Attaching the device has worked, but it didn't automatically enable the esm-apps repository. When trying it manually, it also didn't work:

> sudo pro enable esm-apps
One moment, checking your subscription first
Ubuntu Pro: ESM Apps is not available for platform armhf.
Supported platforms are: amd64, arm64, i386, ppc64el, s390x.

Is there anything I can do?

Maybe remove the Pro subscription, re-install and use a *supported* architecture (ie. *arm64*) then re-attach the Pro subscription to your new-install.

I'm afraid that the CPU is ARMv7. I've looked at the repositories and there are some packages in there that are marked as `all` (some Python, Java and JavaScript packages) and it would be nice to get at least those updates.

It is not supported. So it doesn't make any sense to use it on this machine. You can get updates without it.

Ubuntu PRO allows you to get security *patches* (to 'universe' packages); not updates which are available with the PRO enabled.

"security patches" != "updates". LTS release generally don't update (that's their designed purpose!) Software updates are in the 6-month releases of Ubuntu.

You don't need Pro subscription to get updates from universe.

ESM is an addition to universe.

ESM is not available for armhf. So you can remove the subscription from that machine.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
