Hey Everyone! Quarterly updates across the Linux family with updates are now available with the following image tags: - `ubuntu-2004:2023.07.1` - `ubuntu-2204:2023.07.2` **Note that edge will point to the latest development version, but will be built off of the quarterly release** 20.04 and 22.04 are both available on amd64 and arm64 architecture, Please note: This refresh updates software included in the image, which can be found below. See the [20.04 docs](https://circleci.com/developer/machine/image/ubuntu-2004), and [22.04 docs](https://circleci.com/developer/machine/image/ubuntu-2204) for more information about how to use the machine executor and these images, including utilizing the resource class designation for arm machines. ## What’s New - Standard Quarterly Update - Solved a bug with ulimit preventing core dumps on 22.04 ## Release Cadence These images are updated quarterly, excluding security updates ## Example Here’s a quick usage example: ```auto version: 2.1 workflows: main: jobs: - build jobs: build: machine: image: ubuntu-2204:2023.07.2 steps: - checkout - run: echo "Do some things" ``` ## Software Notes: - Google Chrome is not available on arm images Docker Compose: 2.17.2 → 2.18.1 gcloud: → 424 → 437 Go: 1.20.2 → 1.20.5 Node: 18.15.0 → 18.16.1 Maven: 3.9.1 → 3.9.3 Gradle: 8.0.2 → 8.2 Python: 3.11.2 → 3.11.4 Ruby: 3.2.1 → 3.2.2 yq: 4.33.1 → 4.34.1 sbt: 1.8.2 → 1.9.1 Here is a list of the major software installed on each image.

Hello, we’ve started to get failures in some jobs today since `ubuntu-2204:current` was switched from `ubuntu-2204:2023.04.2` to `ubuntu-2204:2023.07.2`. We’re not sure what the root cause is but seemingly innocuous statements are exiting with code 127. for example: ```auto mkdir -p ~/.docker && echo "$DOCKER_HUB_CREDENTIALS" > ~/.docker/config.json ``` ```auto echo "Installed " && go version ``` SSH-ing into the instance to run those commands don’t return the same error. ---

Hi @danielpoonwj - i am currently unable to reproduce your error from what you’ve provided, though I will say I do not have the `DOCKER_HUB_CREDENTIALS` variable set are you able to share a build link with us or submit a support ticket so we can see what’s going on? ---

Hi @jalex, thanks for getting back to me. Looks like it’s not directly related to the image change, but an issue with the `circleci/go` orb. With `v1.7.2` of the orb, the job with `ubuntu-2204:current` fails but `ubuntu-2204:2023.04.2` passes. Upgrading to `v1.7.3` passes on both, probably because of a fix to the `$PATH`. Not sure why there’s a difference in behaviour between the images, but just an FYI for anyone who may be encountering this. Here’s a minimally reproducible example. Upgrading to `circleci/go@1.7.3` fixes this. ```auto version: 2.1 orbs: go: circleci/go@1.7.2 jobs: test: parameters: machine-image: type: string machine: image: << parameters.machine-image >> resource_class: medium steps: - go/install: version: '1.19' workflows: version: 2 test: jobs: - test: name: test-ubuntu-2204-current machine-image: ubuntu-2204:current - test: name: test-ubuntu-2204-2023-04-2 machine-image: ubuntu-2204:2023.04.2 ``` ---

Hi @danielpoonwj - perhaps [this change](https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/go-orb/commit/d6cff478ae5f5516fcc6ec1cb9a39f938032151e) from 1.7.2 → 1.7.3 is the culprit. Thanks for confirming it is not an image issue. Let us know if you run into any other issues! ---

When can we expect to find OpenJDK 21 installed by default?
