Ubuntu 24.04 repository

[kevinfilipe]

Hi. I can't find the repository for Ubuntu 24.04 here.

Will it be supported? If so, would it be possible to add it?

Thank you.

Hello @kevinfilipe,

Ubuntu 24 is not yet officially supported, but versions built on/for previous versions of Ubuntu should work on Ubuntu 24.

Repo support for Ubuntu 24.04 would be nice. We are currently holding off on deploying 24.04 because of the lack of the NCPA repo. It provides a seamless way for us to make sure that NCPA remains updated across our fleet of machines.

The NCPA Ubuntu 24 repo is in the works. It should be up within the next week or so.

Any update on this? I'm still getting errors while installing NCPA3 on Ubuntu 24.04 OS:

~# apt-get install https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/ncpa3/ncpa-latest-1.amd64.deb

apt-get isn't designed to download packages directly from URLs. When you're putting it as above, it's interpreting that as a package name, which leads to the errors you are seeing.

I recommend either adding the Nagios repo as can be seen here: https://repo.nagios.com/?repo=deb-ubuntu
or using wget/curl to grab the package from the url and then apt installing the downloaded .deb.

Hello,

I even tried by downloading the dep package to the server and local install.

I also don't see any repository for Ubuntu 24.04 in https://repo.nagios.com/?repo=deb-ubuntu

root@server:/home/shuser# apt install ncpa-latest-1.amd64.deb

This is checking against your repos for a package called ncpa-latest-1.amd64.deb. You need to do
apt install ./ncpa-latest-1.amd64.deb
if you're in the folder with the ncpa deb as the ./ indicates the current folder and should be whatever path points to the .deb.

I also don't see any repository for Ubuntu 24.04 in https://repo.nagios.com/?repo=deb-ubuntu

I was told that this was up. I'll check with the guys in charge of the repo.

I've talked with those with access to the repo and they should be updating the repo today.
