I installed update-notifier version 3.186.2 from artful-proposed and verified that after clicking "Upgrade Now" I was prompted to enter my password, then I saw the Release Notes for Ubuntu 18.04 and after clicking that upgrade button the upgrade did proceed.
** Description changed: Test Case: - 1. Install 1710 and all the updates available + 1. Install 17.10 and all the updates available 2. Reboot 3. Wait until the upgrade notification to 18.04 shows up 4. Press on 'Upgrade now' + + To force the upgrade dialog to appear a second time you will need to use + dconf-editor to reset com.ubuntu.update-notifier.release-check-time to 0 + and then reboot. Expected behaviour The upgrade process starts Actual result The update notifier dialog is closed and nothing happens. This is reproducible with the the Wayland and X sessions. It works fine if update-notifier is executed manually with: $ update-notifier --force-release-check The following messages are logged in the journal: mai 03 09:04:23 ubuntu gnome-software[1600]: running get-distro-updates with refine-flags=require-setup-action with timeout=60 on plugin=appstream took 26ms mai 03 09:04:26 ubuntu PackageKit[1073]: get-updates transaction /3_acacceea from uid 1000 finished with success after 2634ms mai 03 09:04:26 ubuntu gnome-software[1600]: running refresh with timeout=60 with cache age=86400 on plugin=steam took 2743ms mai 03 09:04:26 ubuntu gnome-software[1600]: running get-updates with refine-flags=require-update-details,require-update-severity with timeout=60 on plugin=systemd-updates took 1ms mai 03 09:04:26 ubuntu update-notifier.desktop[1799]: localuser:root being added to access control list mai 03 09:04:26 ubuntu update-notifier.desktop[1799]: Refusing to render service to dead parents. - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 + ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: update-notifier 3.186.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-39.44-generic 4.13.16 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-39-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.8 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu May 3 09:06:03 2018 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-05-02 (0 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20180105.1) - SourcePackage: update-notifier + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20180105.1)SourcePackage: update-notifier UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Tags removed: verification-needed-artful ** Tags added: verification-done-artful -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768748 Title: 17.10 to 18.04 upgrade: 'upgrade now' has no effect To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1768748/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
