[Bug 966451] Re: When xscreensaver/xlockmore isn't properly stopped, the upgrade leads to a broken system
The dialog regarding xscreensaver/xmorelock just was shown to me when trying to upgrade from 20.04 to 21.10 (running do-release-upgrade in the shell). Upgrade is still running, keeping fingers crossed it will work properly. As there is no information on how to properly disable xscreensaver/xmorelock, I find this message a bit unhelpful. To exaggerate, it reads like "The installation might go wrong and lock yourself out of the system. If you want to prevent that, then go find out by yourself how to do that.

Caleb, this happens too when *do-release-upgrade* is used in a terminal. The here terminal was started from the GUI.

[Bug 966451] Re: When xscreensaver/xlockmore isn't properly stopped, the upgrade leads to a broken system
Same happened to me on upgrade from Xubuntu 12.10 amd64 to 13.04. But my screensaver was *disabled*. I don't see how this should happen. I got this message: Cofiguring libc6 One or more running instances of xscreensaver or xlockmore have been detected on this system. Because of incompatible library changes, the upgrade of the GNU libc library will leave you unable to authenticate to these programs. You should arrange for these programs to be restarted or stopped before continuing this upgrade, to avoid locking your users out of their current sessions. I had been using xscreensaver but it has been disabled for some time. It does, however, appear to be running: ps -ax | grep xscreensaver 1978 ?S 0:03 xscreensaver -no-splash Shouldn't it be switched off? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966451 Title: When xscreensaver/xlockmore isn't properly stopped, the upgrade leads to a broken system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/update-manager/+bug/966451/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 966451] Re: When xscreensaver/xlockmore isn't properly stopped, the upgrade leads to a broken system
It does not effect upgrades via live image. I've never tested using do- release-upgrade because I run no server installs. It does appear running upgrades via update-manager -d, update-manager -d -c, and upgrades offered via GUI by the Update Manager/Software Updater when a new version is available. I'll be glad to perform any additional testing requested, but please be specific about the desired testcase. BTW I know I'm not Pasi, but with our shortened support cycle for interim releases I truly feel we need to fix any release upgrade bugs ASAP. I'm not a dev in any stretch of the imagination but I think we need to look to see if xscreensaver or xlockmore are installed prior to beginning the dist-upgrade and then disable both before continuing to prevent confusion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966451 Title: When xscreensaver/xlockmore isn't properly stopped, the upgrade leads to a broken system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/update-manager/+bug/966451/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Where I said, we need to look to see if xscreensaver or xlockmore are installed prior to beginning the dist-upgrade and then disable both before continuing to prevent confusion, I wish I'd said; ubuntu-release-upgrader needs to look to see if xscreensaver or xlockmore are installed before proceeding with the upgrade, and if installed they need to be disabled before the dist-upgrade proceeds in order to prevent confusion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966451 Title: When xscreensaver/xlockmore isn't properly stopped, the upgrade leads to a broken system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/update-manager/+bug/966451/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
