needs a new release of xorg-lts-transitional in bionic, which I've got halfway done
** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => xorg-lts-transitional (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: xorg-lts-transitional (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: xorg-lts-transitional (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-lts-transitional in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1749688 Title: 16.04 HWE -> 18.04 = xorg held back (+ partial breakage because of it) Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in xorg-lts-transitional package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: When upgrading from a 16.04 installation which had HWE (later point releases) xorg is getting held back as apt is having trouble resolving the path from xserver-xorg-core-hwe-16.04 to xserver-xorg-core. In at least one instance I've seen a system from a user POV completely break because of that as it failed to get any keyboard input. Forcing xorg to get properly installed fixes any and all issues as expected. - devel upgrade from xenial to bionic - restart - xorg not upgraded - try to get a hold of tty or repair mode - sudo apt install dist-upgrade && sudo apt install xorg - restart - working system I am going to attach logs for an ubuntu-desktop system, but I've also seen this with kubuntu-desktop and the derived neon-desktop. It's a bit unclear to me why apt is having trouble with the resolution, it does seem like a fairly serious problem though.
