> update-smart-drivedb is not available This was an upstream decision from Debian maintainer, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/smartmontools/+bug/1858121
You could either manually replace /var/lib/smartmontools/drivedb.h with a downloaded version from RELEASE_6_5_DRIVEDB branch. Or copy the new entry to the local smart_drivedb.h file, see -B option on smartctl man page for details. > Would compiling from source code be a safe solution? For smartctl: yes. For smartd daemon: yes, but may require manual changes to systemd service file. With default ./configure settings, everything is installed below /usr/local and does not interfere with the Ubuntu package. We also provide current source tarballs and binaries at https://builds.smartmontools.org/. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873546 Title: GSmartControl interprets code 231 incorrectly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gsmartcontrol/+bug/1873546/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
