[Test Case] * Run "unattended-upgrade --dry-run --verbose" on battery and on AC power * With default configuration u-u should stop with the following message on battery: Initial blacklisted packages: Initial whitelisted packages: Starting unattended upgrades script Allowed origins are: o=Ubuntu,a=bionic, o=Ubuntu,a=bionic-security, o=UbuntuESM,a=bionic System is on battery power, stopping * On AC power it should continue: $ sudo ./unattended-upgrade --dry-run --verbose Initial blacklisted packages: Initial whitelisted packages: Starting unattended upgrades script Allowed origins are: o=Ubuntu,a=bionic, o=Ubuntu,a=bionic-security, o=UbuntuESM,a=bionic No packages found that can be upgraded unattended and no pending auto-removals * Add the following configuration file and check u-u continuing even on battery: $ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/51unattended-upgrades-on-battery Unattended-Upgrade::OnlyOnACPower "false"; rbalint@yogi:~/projects/deb/unattended-upgrades$ sudo ./unattended-upgrade --dry-run --verbose Initial blacklisted packages: Initial whitelisted packages: Starting unattended upgrades script Allowed origins are: o=Ubuntu,a=bionic, o=Ubuntu,a=bionic-security, o=UbuntuESM,a=bionic No packages found that can be upgraded unattended and no pending auto-removals [Regression Potential] * Unattended-upgrades may fail to install updates even on AC power, but this is unlikely to happen due to the code changed being fairly simple. on_ac_power may return 255 (false) Power status could not be determined, but this is mapped to being on AC power and installing the updates, only subprocess.call("on_ac_power") == 1 makes u-u skip updates. [Original Bug Text] Ubuntu 17.10 and 18.04 do not install updates with InstallOnShutdown flag set. post-install script on 14.04 and 16.04 would set options in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic to install updates on shutdown of ubuntu desktop. This worked on 17.10 also, until an update before the release of 18.04. After a fresh install of 18.04, ran the post install script. Below is the contents of the two files, updates do not run, even if performing an apt update and leaving the machine up for a few hours to download packages in the back ground. Both the unattended- upgrades and unattended-upgrades-shutdown log files are empty.
