Question Confused: Onyx System Updates

[Pagemakers]

In Plesk 12.5 I would have manual updates off. Every couple of weeks the system would say a new update is available. EG 12.5 update 45 etc and I would click update.

Now I have upgraded to Onyx (I still have auto updates off) I am presented with 247 packages updates. Am I safe to update these? Would they normally be part of one of the plesk 12.5 micro-updates that would normally update anyway without my knowledge?



If this was Plesk 12.5 with automatic settings off what would be selected on the screenshot below?

I don't seem to be able to turn off auto plesk updates and auto 3rd party updates. When I save the page the 3rd party updates checkbox re-ticks. Is that correct?

On the plesk demo server you can turn both off.

Hi Pagemakers,

Is that correct?

This is not relevant, because the parent configuration is set off.

Why is my system showing I have 247 packages available to install? Plesk 12.5 never did this. It only showed Plesk micro-updates.

How can I turn off these 3rd party notifications (if that's what they are)?

Hi Pagemakers,

Why is my system showing I have 247 packages available to install?

consider to use for Debian/Ubuntu - based systems "apt" or "aptitude" to update/upgrade installed packages on your server. Example: Consider to use

aptitude upgrade

... over your command line ( logged in as user "root" ) and you will get an answer to your question.
