[SOLVED] Disable automatic update not working?

[naox]

Hello,

xbian keeps updating automatically even if I set it to not doit by Kodi addon or shell script. I guess there is a config file with a true/false or yes/no line, which file is this one in order to check if it's proprly setted?

Thank you very much.

Edit 1:
Umm maybe this one

Terminal

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades

Edit 2
strange...

Terminal

xbian@xbian:~$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
01autoremove 05xbian 10periodic 20auto-upgrades 99progress-bar
01autoremove-kernels 06xbian-btrfs 10xbian-periodic 50unattended-upgrades 99xbian-update-motd
03forceloop 07xbian-cache 15update-stamp 70debconf

xbian@xbian:~$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10xbian-periodic
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";

xbian@xbian:~$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";

Two files with the same configuration?

Anyways, I see that https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-update/blob/e8bc5464d17c754a7f8231fc1ec43259885693f2/content/DEBIAN/postinst uses 10xbian-periodic. I suppose that 20auto-upgrades is executed after it and that's my problem.


Just to index here: https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades#Automatic_call_via_.2Fetc.2Fapt.2Fapt.conf.d.2F20auto-upgrades

The question is - where does your /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades file came from (answer below)?

I've checked all my XBian's, neither this file appears on my XBian's nor it exists on my standard Debian's - but
it is there in a recent generated XBian image. So, it seams that this was introduced with Debian Stretch [1] - if APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists and/or? APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade setting does not exist, this file will be generated by postinst procedure of package unattended-upgrades

So, you can remove /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades safely, and I'll think about a solution how to solve this issue permanently

[1] Latest Jessie image does not have this file, so it is new Stretch behavior

With recent updates from Dec 2 (xbian-update, xbian-package-config-shell and xbian-package-config-xbmc), this issue is fixed.

10xbian-periodic has been moved to 20auto-upgrades now

Terminal

root@kmxbilr ~ # cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades
//
// This content is managed by xbian-config console application and
// Kodi's XBian config GUI. Please do not modify this file manually
// unless you know what you are doing.
//
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
