@MattWeatherford this is because 24.04 is currently unsupported. See https://falcon.crowdstrike.com/documentation/page/edd7717e/falcon-sensor-for-linux-system-requirements

Obviously the statement from a couple of years ago that "we strive for day of support for major OS refreshes" was hot air then. 24.04 was released three MONTHS ago.

Any news on when it WILL be supported?

@rjchwcc | @MattWeatherford - Believe me, we understand the frustration and apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, our team does not control the project timelines or have influence over them. In fact we face the same limitations from the API side, as we cannot query for information that is not yet available.

Unofficially, we might have a temporary workaround that could help. It may be possible to run the latest Ubuntu sensor in user-mode (bpf) on 24.04, although this is not officially supported. While it's not a perfect solution, it might offer some level of protection until the distribution receives official support.
