[Bug 191514] Re: Kernel upgrades may leave system unbootable when its hibernated during the upgrade
A good point in a comment earlier: "A small warning dialog like "Warning: the package manager is working right now, it is strongly recommended to wait for it to finish." and the user's options could be like "proceed anyways / wait and proceed / cancel". Of course this could also be a text-based dialog if you're going to call poweroff, reboot or pm-whatsoever from shell." Unattended upgrades is often the update method of choice on the computers of numerous non-computer-savvy desktop users - the more informed friends/relatives turn it on to keep the security up-to-date without user interaction, which may not be possible because the user doesn't know the superuser password required for the upgrade. In this case, a clear warning for the user would be useful, in order to prevent the confused user from forcibly shutting down the computer (by pulling the plug, for example). The easiest way to do this would probably be a LOCALIZED uppercase message in the stdout. Something like "ATTENTION! THE COMPUTER IS PERFORMING AUTOMATIC SECURITY UPDATES, AND WILL SHUT DOWN AUTOMATICALLY AFTER HAVING FINISHED. PLEASE DON'T TURN THE COMPUTER OFF MANUALLY!" (For a possible more GUIly way of printing the message, see a deferred Karmic spec: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/Specs/KarmicUpdatesOnShutdown ) -- Kernel upgrades may leave system unbootable when its hibernated during the upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 191514] Re: Kernel upgrades may leave system unbootable
The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback. ** Tags added: cft-2.6.27 -- Kernel upgrades may leave system unbootable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 191514] Re: Kernel upgrades may leave system unbootable
Hi! I think that shutdown, restart and hibernate should be avoided if the package-manager is working anyways. To achieve this i recommend that the gnome (or KDE/Xfce) dialog to initiate those actions should check for apt's lock-file and warn the user before he can proceed. A small warning dialog like "Warning: the package manager is working right now, it is strongly recommended to wait for it to finish." and the user's options could be like "proceed anyways / wait and proceed / cancel". Of course this could also be a text-based dialog if you're going to call poweroff, reboot or pm-whatsoever from shell.

Thanks for your bugreport. I'm adding a linux-source task here. It seems to me like the best course of action here is to modify the building/updating of the initramfs in a way that the time-window were the system does not boot is minimized. Maybe building them all first and then moving them into place once all is done. I don't know enough about the kernel packages.
