'Settings & Livepatch' button opens 'settings' tab, not livepatch

[Steve Langasek]

If livepatch is supported on the running release but is not enabled, update-manager changes the text of the 'Settings…' button to 'Settings & Livepatch…'. However, clicking on the button takes the user to the 'Updates' tab of software-properties-gtk, which includes no livepatch settings. To get to the livepatch settings, you have to notice the separate 'Livepatch' tab at the top of the window. This is suboptimal.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Changing it would require some design work. Changing the label from' settings' to 'Settings & Livepatch' was an easy way to get livepatch mentioned but isn't a great user experience indeed. I wouldn't consider it as a rls issue though, the features advertized are available in the interface even if the tabs aren't the most obvious UI elements

@Seb128 can we shove this over to desktop to do the design work on it?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Yes, that's one of the items in our backlog
