Yeah, I'd probably also change the line just above as well: "# Default prompting and upgrading behavior, valid options: -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795024 Title: release-upgrades Prompt to anything other than normal prevents beta upgrades To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1795024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

When running 18.04 if Prompt=lts and 20.04 is under development then 'do-release-upgrade -d' will start the upgrade to 20.04. Would changing the never comment to the following clear up the matter? "never - Never check, or allow upgrading to, a new release." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795024 Title: release-upgrades Prompt to anything other than normal prevents beta upgrades To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1795024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1795024] Re: release-upgrades Prompt to anything other than normal prevents beta upgrades
Okay, I guess that makes sense. Prompt=lts would prevent upgrade from 18.04 to 18.10, 19.04, and 19.10. When 20.04 comes out, Prompt=lts would then hopefully allow upgrade to the development version with -d. I'll see what the update-manager team comes up with on this one. In the meantime, can we change the comments in the /etc/update-manager /release-upgrades file to note this behaviour? Right now, it only describes the impact on whether the user is prompted to upgrade. It should also describe that it controls whether you will be able to perform the upgrades. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795024 Title: release-upgrades Prompt to anything other than normal prevents beta upgrades To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1795024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1795024] Re: release-upgrades Prompt to anything other than normal prevents beta upgrades
Regarding your question we assume that the majority of people installing the LTS they want to stay on LTS releases so yes "Prompt=lts" will prevent users from upgrading to Ubuntu 18.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795024 Title: release-upgrades Prompt to anything other than normal prevents beta upgrades To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1795024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1795024] Re: release-upgrades Prompt to anything other than normal prevents beta upgrades
do-release-upgrade relies on update-manager's MetaReleaseCore to parse the /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades configuration file so any changes would likely require modifying update-manager to return information about what prompt is set to and for do-release-upgrade to return a more informative error message. ** Also affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795024 Title: release-upgrades Prompt to anything other than normal prevents beta upgrades To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1795024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
