How to activate/renew Ubuntu Advantage/ESM if you have HTTP connect proxy like Squid?

  • 772

How to activate/renew Ubuntu Advantage/ESM on Ubuntu 14.04 if you have HTTP connect proxy like Squid - so you get security updates again? With the older tool I get errors and/or timeouts with sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade.

    In the meantime, I found out for myself:

    cat /etc/apt/apt.conf  # check for proxy FQDN! Or create empty file!

cat /etc/environment  # check for proxy FQDN!

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-esm-infra*.list*

sudo apt update

sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:ua-client/stable  # press Enter

sudo apt update

sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-advantage-tools

sudo -E ua status

sudo -E ua detach  # optional

sudo -E ua attach <ID_VIA_SEE_IMAGE_BELOW>

### sudo -E ua enable esm-infra

### sudo -E ua status

### sudo update

sudo apt dist-upgrade
