Bug description:
  [Impact]
  There is not currently a graphical method of determining if a system is 
subscribed to [Extended Security Maintenance](https://ubuntu.com/security/esm) 
updates. This is resolved by adding some [new 
UI](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#Extended_Security_Maintenance) to 
the software properties application.

  [Test Case]
  1. Install latest version of Ubuntu advantage:
  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ua-client/stable
  $ sudo apt update
  $ sudo apt upgrade
  2. Open Software Properties
  3. 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.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1920836] Re: Show Extended Security Maintenence status

[Chad Smith]

I think there was an omission on the latest bionic upload it doesn't
contain the fixes that were added for focal, hirsute and impish.

I've put up a PR that cherry-picks those fixes into the bionic branch
that would need review and upload before I can validate and set
verification-done-bionic on this bug.

[Chad Smith]

@brian-murray the verification-done-impish tag may be unnecessary here
by me. My above verification on impish may have just been supplemental
as 0.99.13 already had released which provided ESM awareness on Impish.
That said, I revalidated this because the current 0.99.13.1 also touched
that same logic and I wanted to confirm no regression.

Hello Robert, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-properties into focal-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-
properties/0.99.9.8 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

I'm hesitant for your to revert on the focal branches as I don't have
context on if there is tooling that consumes those branches directly in
the project. I don't think it's too much for me to get you and/or Robert
a patch for this now. Today is good for me and I'll push a couple PRs
for you and Robert to review.

@chad.smith - can you make merge requests for the required changes to
the ubuntu/hirsute, ubuntu/focal etc branches
(https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties)? I can
then review those and do the uploads as required. If you need any UI
changes I can make those, but I think at this point it's just how to
interact with the ua client correctly which is something you have a lot
more information on than I do.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1920836] Re: Show Extended Security Maintenence status

[Chad Smith]

Thank you for this submission. I was awaiting feedback on this bug to
determine if you'd like to solve the outstanding issue that Extend...
links aren't presented on the software-properties-gtk UI for unattached
machines (and/or) dropping the error messages from the console. But, as
you mentioned error console messaging isn't presented to the UI so this
is a non-issue that we can remedy in future uploads.


That said, I also discovered that changes in ubuntu-advantage-tools 27.2
which have already SRU'd into xenial, bionic, focal and render this
current logic broken.


I've filed LP: #1939732 to capture upcoming features needed in the UI to better 
inform about Extending your support if desired on Bionic/Focal etc.

LP 1939732 could be fixed by this diff:

 The UX "updates" tab no longer can correctly determine that the machine is 
attached because a new field "available" has been published in status.json. 


Current utils.py:get_ua_service_status relies on a now incorrect check:

if service.get("available"):  # then we are not attached
if service["available"] == "yes":
 available = True
 service_status = "disabled"  # Disabled since unattached

Since ua status output on attach machines now provides "available":
"yes" in version 27.2 it broke the assumption that "available" keys
represented a detached system.

[Chad Smith]

>> Is there a reason why the ua client doesn't do this itself
internally, i.e. it gives you fresh json or returns the cached copy if
it can't do the update?

Currently the only "time" during which ubuntu-advantage-tools (UA
client) could perform the logic to exec 'sudo ua status' is during
postinst at package install upgrade time. UA client can not perform that
status setup during package install for the same timeout reasons you
mentioned.  It is a potentially long operation. If run during a package
install it could delay or prevent other package upgrades if it hits a
timeout and/or error. That said, we are working on instrumenting a
systemd timer service that can run config change/setup operations out of
band of typical APT package installs. So, this case could be handled by
that timer-based service.  This SRU does represent.

This changeset as-is does represent an improvement to existing cases
because the Software properties UX demonstrates awareness of ESM (and
contract expiry information) properly for attached machines, or
unattached machines where `sudo ua status` has been run.

Subsequent releases of software-properties will now be able to take
advantage of reading "ua status --format=json" output directly as non-
root (due to a bug-fix released in 27.2.1). The non-root user will not
have to rely anymore on that json file if absent as the --format=json
output will render the same JSON dict that would be present on disk for
the root user. This is a fix that is under verification in the -proposed
queue now for ua-tools and was not available at the time of this
original software-properties PR. I'm ok with this approach as-is knowing
that we can significantly improve the behavior once ubuntu-advantage-
tools 27.2.1 is released to X B F and H

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1920836] Re: Show Extended Security Maintenence status

[Robert Ancell]

Confirmed here that /var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json is only
updated when running 'ua status' as root.

No desktop software is running as root, in the few cases that root
privileges are required a small service is run as root and that is
communicated with via D-Bus.

The warning doesn't show for the majority of users, since they aren't
going to be running from the command line so I would leave it for now,
and remove in the next revision of this code.

I think there is a case where this won't work - if you have a fresh
machine that you haven't done a 'ua attach' on then software-properties
is going to not offer ESM as it's not going to think it's available.

In https://code.launchpad.net/~robert-ancell/software-
properties/+git/software-properties/+merge/400153 that 'ua status' can
timeout and return empty values, which is why we are accessing
/var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json. Is there a reason why the ua
client doesn't do this itself internally, i.e. it gives you fresh json
or returns the cached copy if it can't do the update?

[Chad Smith]

Also per #2 above, if we were to drop the `ua status` call from
utils.py:get_ua_status() that would also mitigate the perceived "time
cost" corradoventu mentioned because `ua status` does reach out to the
internet to contracts.canonical.com to check service availability for
your running distro/kernel/platform. If we don't make that `ua status`
commandline call, and rely on presence/absence of /var/lib/ubuntu-
advantage/status.json then we can avoid the round trip to an external
URL to fill in these service details.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1920836] Re: Show Extended Security Maintenence status

[Chad Smith]

@robert-ancell and @corradoventu those errors are due to running
software-properties-gtk as non-root user on a system that is not
attached to any ubuntu-advantage services.

 The /var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json file is only created by a
root user via an `sudo ua status` or `sudo ua attach ` call. The
absence of the file means that the system is not attached to any valid
Ubuntu Advantage services, and the logic in
softwareproperties/gtk/util.py will still correctly return an empty
representation for ubuntu-advantage services as an empty dict {} and the
UX dialogs properly direct folks to how to activate ESM in this case.


I mistakenly thought software-properties-gtk is invoked as root user in order 
to install/update packages. Given that it is invoked as non-root user we can do 
one of two things:
   1. keep the current implementation which would print messages about missing 
status.json files knowing that the UX dialogs still behave correctly.
OR
   2. drop the subp call to 'ua' 'status' from utils.py:get_ua_status() because 
they will never emit the /var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json artifact and 
also drop the printed messages about No ua status file written as that really 
only means you are non-root and on an unattached machine.

The warnings about the status.json file are due to the ubuntu-advantage

  [Test Case]
  1. Install latest version of Ubuntu advantage:
  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ua-client/stable

  2. Open Software Properties

  [Where problems could occur]
  - Software properties could hit a bug getting a response from the ua app. The

  - Launching software properties could trigger a bug in the ua app.
  - Software properties could show incorrect information, causing confusion for

Hello Robert, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-properties into hirsute-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/software-properties/0.99.10.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
hirsute to verification-done-hirsute. If it does not fix the bug for
you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed-hirsute. In either case, without details of your
testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1920836] Re: Show Extended Security Maintenence status

[Robert Ancell]

This change is based on the expectation that UA tools will be the
version that is about to be SRUd. The old version gracefully fails with
`ua status --format=json`, so should already effectively return (False,
False). I didn't do an explicit check on the version as it's non-trivial
to do and I'd be more worried about introducing a bug in the version
number parsing.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1920836] Re: Show Extended Security Maintenence status

[Chad Smith]

Another thing to note/expect: ua client in release in xenial and bionic
at the moment is a completed incompatible commandine (which we are
planning on SRUing prior to Xenial ESM, so `ua status --format=json`
will not work on something <  version 20. I'm fairly certain you
shouldn't care to support this old version of ua-tools, but you might
want to just do a pre-flight check on Xenial and bionic 'ua version' >=
20 and return (False, False) in that case notiing that those
environments should update their versionn of ubuntu-advantage-tools.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1920836] Re: Show Extended Security Maintenence status

[Chad Smith]

Thanks @robert-ancell for setting up the PPA.

I tested on Xenial Ubuntu Desktop LiveCD and would like to report
Failure on this implementation.

Your use of subprocess is passing capture_output on xenial and that is
raising an error in python before calling ua client.


On a system attached to esm-apps:


python3 -c 'import gi; gi.require_version("Gtk", "3.0"); from 
softwareproperties.gtk.utils import get_esm_apps_status; 
print(get_esm_apps_status())'
Failed to call ubuntu advantage client:
__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'capture_output'
(False, False)


Note that run(capture_output) param is not available on python3.5 (it was 
introduced only in 3.7).

Also just dropping that capture_output param you've got some other logic
relying on result.stdout which is None in this case.

while you iterate on this work, you could substitute esm-infra  in your 
get_esm_apps_status function as it'll behave the same way as app, and all 
contracts are entitled to esm-infra at the moment so it will be easier to test 
enabled, available etc.
 
If you'd like review on the iterations of these SRU branches related to this 
just assign lamoura or chad.smith too and we can take a look.

  - 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.

  [Impact]
  There is not currently a graphical method of determining if a system is 
subscribed to [Extended Security Maintenance](https://ubuntu.com/security/esm) 
updates. This is resolved by adding some [new 
UI](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#Extended_Security_Maintenance) to 
the software properties application.

  [Test Case]
  1. Install latest version of Ubuntu advantage:
  $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ua-client/stable
  $ sudo apt update
  $ sudo apt upgrade
  2. Open Software Properties
  3. 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
