Switching Between Online and Offline Ksplice Uptrack Installation Modes

To switch from one Ksplice client software version (or mode) to another Ksplice software version, for example, switch from a Ksplice online installation to a Ksplice offline installation, you must first remove the existing Ksplice client software from the system. You can then install the new version of the Ksplice client software.

Caution:

Failure to remove an existing Ksplice client software version before installing a new Ksplice client software version results in transaction check errors during the package installation process.

• Switch to the offline client.

  If you have the Ksplice Uptrack client software installed on the system and you want to install the offline version of the Ksplice Enhanced client software, you would need to first remove the Ksplice Uptrack client software, and then install the Ksplice offline Enhanced client software, for example:

  sudo dnf remove uptrack ksplice-tools
  sudo dnf install ksplice-offline

• Switch to the online client.

  To switch from an offline installation to an online installation, for example, to switch from the offline Ksplice Uptrack client software to the Ksplice Uptrack (online) client software, use the following commands:

  sudo dnf remove ksplice-offline ksplice-tools
  sudo dnf install uptrack
