[Bug 1948995] Re: Allow reverting to older revisions of a snap
I think this bug should be followed up with a change to retain=3 on Ubuntu servers. ** Changed in: snapd (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948995 Title: Allow reverting to older revisions of a snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1948995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You can set the number of revisions to keep with `snap set system refresh.retain=`. The choice for Server is probably unfortunately a victim of inheriting the default choice for Ubuntu Desktop, which is 2. We originally had 3 for Desktop too (which is also still the default on Ubuntu Core), but that was deemed to be too storage intensive for most users so for "non-Ubuntu Core" we changed it to 2 instead, and it seems that Server has gotten bundled into the definition of "non-Ubuntu Core". I think there's a strong case to be made for having a different default on Server vs Desktop, so if you want to open a new bug about changing that (or we could re-use this one I suppose), I think that's a reasonable thing to request be changed. ** Changed in: snapd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948995 Title: Allow reverting to older revisions of a snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1948995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

OK thanks. I must say that this is not a great user experience. How would we "increase the number of revisions that are kept around on a system" ? It seems that the default of 2 is pretty low for servers. ** Changed in: snapd (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948995 Title: Allow reverting to older revisions of a snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1948995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi @axino, unfortunately I'm not aware of all the details of your system, but if you do not have the desired snap revision available on your system, then I can't advise on how you could get access to a revision which works for your system. You could try reaching out to the publisher to see if they can re-publish the working revision to the stable channel (since it seems like a regression), or maybe they could put the old revision onto a branch for you to temporarily switch to. Finally, you could try rebuilding the snap yourself with the right assets to effectively revert, and then install this revision locally with --dangerous flag. ** Changed in: snapd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948995 Title: Allow reverting to older revisions of a snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1948995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@anonymouse67 hello ! so how do you suggest we fix our production system now ? ** Changed in: snapd (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948995 Title: Allow reverting to older revisions of a snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1948995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It is by design that you cannot revert to a snap that you do not already have installed on a system. You can try using `snap list ruby --all` to get all currently installed revisions on your system (but note that only one revision can be "active" at a time), the revisions listed by this command are all the revisions that you can revert to. You can increase the number of revisions that are kept around on a system to ensure that you are more likely to have the previous revision available by setting the refresh.retain system setting. I believe on Desktop/Server this setting defaults to 2, but on Ubuntu Core for example this setting defaults to 3. ** Changed in: snapd (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1948995 Title: Allow reverting to older revisions of a snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1948995/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
