Public bug reported:
Preliminary note: I can't reproduce it anymore since 11th October 2018.
Was hitting it in my VM 100% beforehand though. The VM was set at 1Gb
(default Boxes value at the time), so maybe hitting OOM killing too
hard. I can't dist-upgrade anymore with 1Gb of memory (VM hangs)
anymore, so could be that or package installation order.
This is why the proposed patch is just posted right now, but not applied.
----
On bionic, run do-release-upgrade
At 2/3 of the installation, you will see icons disappearing from the dock and
the system Shell menu, blue background, menu entries missing… (see attached
picture).
After reboot, on cosmic, you end up with Yaru theme. The issue is only
during/after the dist-upgrade upon reboot.
-> Restarting the Shell loads the default Shell theme (not Yaru) as we address
now an ubuntu.css file which doesn't exists. All icons, theme, and menu entries
are restored.
I have attached a potential patch which triggerts the Shell restart in
ubuntu-release-upgrader (before obsolete package cleanup) as a Quirk
(Xorg-only), which is tested.
However, as of today I can't reproduce this issue and unsure if this one was
due to low memory or package ordering, I wonder if it worths pushing this patch.
It seems conscensus on #ubuntu-desktop is to wait and see.
