There are no periods (.) in any of our /etc/hostname files on our Ubuntu PCs.
That's why I find it strange that it doesn't affect all PCs.

If I modify the hostname file, do I just need to restart the WAPT service on the PC and run `register` to get the new entry in the WAPT console?

Is there no way to use the computer_name?

Is there no way to use the /etc/hosts file to retrieve the machine name in WAPT?
Yet when we try the command dig -x PC-IP, we don't get the same information as in WAPT.

Why does it work for 95% of PCs and only for 10-15...?

Hello,

our Ubuntu users are not on the domain.
Therefore, the /etc/krb5.keytab file does not exist.

The /etc/hostname file does contain the machine name without the ".".
On the WAPT side, the "computer_name" is correct!

Hello,

we are currently experiencing an issue with some machines running Ubuntu 24.04 that appear twice in the WAPT console.

Our WAPT configuration uses the FQDN as the machine UUID (use_fqdn_as_uuid=1).
However, we are finding that some machines are initially appearing with the correct UUID...

We executed the following commands on the server:

Stop the wapttasks service

`sudo systemctl stop wapttasks`


Connect to the wapt psql database:

`sudo -u wapt psql` `

psql (15.12 (Debian 15.12-0+deb12u2))
Type "help" for help.
wapt=> delete from wsusupdates WHERE download_urls::TEXT LIKE ...`

Hi Simon,

thanks for your help, it fixed 95% of the issues.
We just have this one error left that I need to fix:
0x80246fff "There was a download manager error not covered by another WU_E_DM_* error code."

Looking forward to adding a shortcut to clean up the Software Distribution folder ;)

Thank you, I'll call you tomorrow around 2pm

Hello,

We are still unable to install updates using WAPT's WUA.
However, if we remove all traces of WAPT's WUA and use WSUS, there is no problem and the updates are applied correctly.

Hello,

Yes, I'm referring to the "Downloaded on" column.

We upgraded our WAPT version to 2.6.0.16937
, but we're still having trouble deploying KB5053602.

On my computer, for example, the WUA status is showing Error:
0x80246fff "There was a download..."

Hello,

I'm following up on my KB error.
My WAPT server version is 2.6.016552 on Debian.

I'm experiencing the exact same behavior with KB5053602.
The package remains in PENDING_UPDATES status on our client machines.
When I try to download the KB from my WAPT repository...
