I just tried an Ubuntu Trusty w/Wily HWE -> Xenial upgrade and all went well, so I suspect this is limited to Ubuntu GNOME. The only notable difference is that during the Ubuntu GNOME upgrade I got the "restart services during upgrade w/o asking" message in Ubuntu GNOME but not during the Ubuntu upgrade.
I had planned on asking about an anomaly regarding that, possibly filing a bug report, because the terminal window extends past the bottom of the screen initially when that message appears so unless the user is aware that you need to move the window upwards by clicking on the titlebar and dragging they'd never be aware of the warning at all. After dragging that window upward you can see the default is no. I typically use the tab key to select yes and then press enter because I'm usually multi-tasking and don't want to be bothered with further notifications but this time I accepted the default "no" because (a) it's possible a user might not even see the warning since it extends past the bottom of the screen and they may try just pressing enter or esc if the process seems frozen, and (b) simply because "no" is the default. I'm attaching screenshots of that warning behavior and I'm doing a fresh install of Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.4 so I can repeat this test but this time selecting "yes" when that warning appears. ** Attachment added: "upgrade_pics.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1571939/+attachment/4639967/+files/upgrade_pics.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571939 Title: Ubuntu GNOME fails to boot after Trusty -> Xenial upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1571939/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
