** Description changed:
Impact
------
- There is a 90 second delay during the upgrade to gnome-remote-desktop (as in
the upgrade from Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS or 23.10 to 24.04 LTS)
+ There is a 90 second timeout delay during the upgrade to gnome-remote-desktop
(as in the upgrade from Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS or 23.10 to 24.04 LTS)
+
+ More Details
+ ------------
+ This SRU replaces the "automatic" postinst rules from dh_installsysusers and
dh_installtmpfiles with custom postint rules that ensure that the sysusers and
tmpfiles commands are run before dbus is reloaded. This is similar to what
polkitd.postinst does but the new gnome-remote-desktop postinst is much simpler
than what polkitd does.
+
+ dh_installsysusers also adds
+ Depends: systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-sysusers.
+ (It appears like dh_installtmpfiles does not add similar dependencies).
+
+ Because we only support systemd, I have manually added:
+ Depends: systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-sysusers,
+ systemd | systemd-standalone-sysusers | systemd-tmpfiles
Test Case
---------
+ From Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 LTS:
+ 1. sudo apt remove gnome-remote-desktop
+ 2. sudo systemctl stop gnome-remote-desktop
+ 3. sudo deluser gnome-remote-desktop
+ 4. sudo rm -fr /etc/gnome-remote-desktop /var/lib/gnome-remote-desktop
+
+ Those steps will undo adding the user that systemd-sysusers is
+ configured to add and undo adding the directories that systemd-tmpfiles
+ adds.
+
+ Then install the update. Verify that the update happens at normal speed
+ without a long delay before completion.
+
+ Alternate Test Case (Not Required)
+ -----------------------------------
+ You could do an upgrade from 23.10 to 24.04 LTS but it requires much more
time and attention to verify that there isn't an arbitrary delay while apt
configures gnome-remote-desktop. Therefore, the other test case is recommended.
What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
+ If a postinst command fails, then the system can be unable to finish
installing gnome-remote-desktop. This can be a pain to clean up. In this case,
the commands are protected by " || true".
Other Info
----------
- This issue is a folllow-up for LP: #2063333 In that bug, gnome-remote-desktop
wouldn't work at all for upgraders.
+ This issue is a follow-up for LP: #2063333 In that bug, gnome-remote-desktop
wouldn't work at all for upgraders.
+
+ This bugfix is being bundled with a new upstream release with more
+ testing LP: #2072771
