2021-03-22 23:34:55 Robert Ancell description [Impact] There is not currently a graphical method of determining if a system is subscribed to Extended Security Maintenance updates. This is resolved by adding some new UI to the software properties application (design https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#Extended_Security_Maintenance). [Test Case] 1. Open Software Properties 2. Go to Updates tab. Expected result: Information is shown that indicates if this system is using Extended Security Maintenance updates, when updates will supported until, and a link to upgrade to ESM. Observed result: No ESM information currently shown. [Where problems could occur] - Software properties could hit a bug getting a response from the ua app. The current code carefully checks if and what is returned, falling back to a safe default behavior. - Launching software properties could trigger a bug in the ua app. - Software properties could show incorrect information, causing confusion for the user. The solution uses information from distro-info and the ua app which means software-properties contains no data about ESM, and instead relies on these apps that can be updated if things change.
