** Description changed:
Updated info; You should be able to reproduce this as follows:
Step #1: Install Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.2, 14.04.3, or 14.04.4. Boot into
the fresh installation when complete and apply all available updates via
UI, then reboot when instructed. It seems important to apply the post-
install updates via UI rather than using the terminal!
Step #2: Enable trusty-proposed, update the cache and run "apt-get
install update-manager". (That will update the components needed to
display HWE EOL notifications). Then disable trusty-proposed, set Notify
me of a new release to Never, and update the apt cache again.
- Step #3: Completing step #2 may be enough to launch the HWE EOL upgrade
- notification. If not close any open update or notifier UI, then from
- terminal run "apt-get update" followed by "update-manager".
+ Step #3: Based on recent tests completing step #2 should be enough to
+ launch the HWE EOL upgrade notification in which case you just need to
+ choose to install the HWE upgrade and reboot when prompted.
- If the HWE EOL notification fails to display after step #2 or step #3
+ If the HWE EOL notification fails to appear close any open update or
+ notifier UI, then from terminal run "apt-get update" followed by
+ "update-manager". If the HWE EOL notification still fails to appear then
I'll have to go back to the drawing board.
Original content begins here:
Having updated update-manager from trusty-proposed yesterday I booted
into Ubuntu GNOME Trusty w/Utopic HWE and update-notifier told me that
my HWE was EOL so I accepted the upgrade. Everything seemed to complete
successfully and I was notified to reboot. Upon doing so boot freezes
with the message "Restoring resolver state". I was unsure what package
to file this against and since I can't boot that install I was unable to
file using ubuntu-bug anyway. This freeze occurs whether trying to boot
the lts-xenial kernel or the older lts-utopic kernel.
I can collect info as needed, the only useful info I see in the logs in
from apt/history beginning with the update-manager update yesterday and
ending with the HWE EOL upgrade just a short time ago:
