2018-04-20 00:00:36 Brian Murray description [Impact] Come to find out that the desktop's graphical-session.target is not working in Bionic nor in Ubuntu 17.10. The update-notifier-release check (.path and .service files) are part of that and subsequently are not working. These raise a dialog letting the user know of the availability of a new release of Ubuntu. They should be fixed for both releases. [Test Case] 1) Run 'systemctl --user status update-notifier-release.path and observe that is dead With the version of update-notifier from -proposed that service should be active. A complete test of the job involves: 1) Ensure /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades has Prompt=normal 2) Modify /usr/lib/systemd/user/update-notifier-release.service so that '-d' is passed to check-new-release-gtk (because bionic is still in development) 3) Run 'sudo touch /var/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/release-upgrade-available' 4) Observe a dialog regarding Ubuntu 18.04 being available [Regression Potential] The job is already broken and users won't get the check-new-release-gtk dialog about the next release. Its possible that since we are switching the .path job from graphical-session.target that check-new-release-gtk will be called when a user is not logged in and it will crash. However, that seems like an acceptable risk. [Impact] Come to find out that the desktop's graphical-session.target is not working in Bionic nor in Ubuntu 17.10. The update-notifier-release check (.path and .service files) are part of that and subsequently are not working. These raise a dialog letting the user know of the availability of a new release of Ubuntu. They should be fixed for both releases. It will be fixed by restoring update-notifier's old behavior running check-new-release-gtk every couple of days which is sad! [Test Case] 1) Ensure /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades has Prompt=normal 2) Modify /usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/check-new-release-gtk and set the --devel-release option to a default of "True" this is needed since bionic is still in development 3) Use dconf-editor modify com.ubuntu.update-notifier.release-check-time and set the value to 0 4) kill update-notifier 5) run update-notifier --debug-new-release check Observe a dialog regarding Ubuntu 18.04 being available [Regression Potential] The job is already broken and users won't get the check-new-release-gtk dialog about the next release.
