Public bug reported:
I performed an upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 on the Unity desktop using
update-manager. The process started as expected and downloaded all the
packages but stopped near the beginning of the install process stating
it was preparing libc6. It was only because I expanded the terminal that
I notices it required a few services to restart for the installation to
continue. This prompt came up twice but this would be a massive problem
for anyone unfamiliar with the process, i.e. a non technical person
using the system. What should really happen is that a GTK prompt should
come up with a restart or cancel button, not a terminal dialog like it
currently does. Either that or it should just restart these services
anyway without prompt as the user should not really be using the system
at the point of upgrade anyway. They are hardly critical services anyway
(cups and cron as I remember).
