Ubuntu LTS promises updates for five years. Ubuntu Pro increases this to 10 or even 12 years.
fail2ban is a pretty critical security component. It failed out of the box in Ubuntu 24.04. More than 2 months have passed and still no fix has been released. This is NOT a specific criticism of the maintainers of fail2ban -- I am sure they are doing what they can, and the whole situation is somewhat unfortunate. The fix is imminent anyway. But the bigger question remains: Should I trust Ubuntus/Canonicals update guarantees for a decade when they fail within the first few months? Not on an exotic package, but on a fairly mainstream security component? Is Ubuntu Server ready to go? I have had excellent experiences with Ubuntu Server in the past, but I have my doubts about the future. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2055114 Title: fail2ban is broken in 24.04 Noble To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fail2ban/+bug/2055114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
