This could occasionally timeout or fail, causing issues for any program relying on it. The network request itself is unnecessary for the functionality of that api call, so the fix is to not make the network request anymore. [ Test Plan ] Recreate the bug: In a container ``` truncate -s 0 /var/log/ubuntu-advantage.log pro api u.pro.packages.updates.v1 cat /var/log/ubuntu-advantage.log # See logs about network requests ``` To see the fix, install the new version (currently in staging PPA, but for SRU verification it will be in -proposed) and try again ``` add-apt-repository ppa:ua-client/staging apt install ubuntu-advantage-tools truncate -s 0 /var/log/ubuntu-advantage.log pro api u.pro.packages.updates.v1 cat /var/log/ubuntu-advantage.log # No logs about network requests ``` [ Where problems could occur ] This involves a refactor to the implementation of this API function. If there was an error, it could bubble up to any callers of the function. [ Original Description ] On a fairly standard installation of lunar (ie no Ubuntu Pro linked etc), the update-manager can become a non-functional window when uaclient isn't behaving. This manifests itself in a greyed-out 'checking for updates' window which doesn't respond to any clicks and can only be closed by ending the process in the system-monitor.

I have recently seen: - update-manager unable to install updates for over a month ( LP: #2008280 ) - this issue, - if you turn wi-fi off and open update-manager, then after clicking ok the update-manager window becomes unresponsive ( LP: #2015113 ) - and undoubtedly there are others to come as this is all without uaclient needing to do anything (ie I have no subscription and lunar is not yet released) Please consider how you might make the integration of Ubuntu Pro into update-manager more robust, so that any issues in uaclient don't stop update-manager from functioning correctly. (ie presumably using a try/except around the uaclient call is not unreasonable - you might loose track of any errors that are occurring, but keeping update- manager working (aka allowing people to install their system updates) is a much higher priority) Thanks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-advantage-tools/+bug/2015286/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~group.of.nepali.translators Post to : group.of.nepali.translators@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~group.of.nepali.translators More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
