Public bug reported: I've noted two things on a recent do-release-upgrade wherein I upgraded a system from 16.04 to 18.04. It largely went well, but after the upgrade I didn't see Canonical Livepatch status in my motd.
When I looked, I noted update-motd:amd64 missing, so I installed that, but that still didn't make my motd show Livepatch status. A bit of searching noted that /etc/cron.daily/ubuntu-advantage-tools runs to update /var/cache/ubuntu-advantage-tools/ubuntu-advantage-status.cache, and evidently that hadn't happened. That would be a very reasonable thing to run on boot, not just daily out of cron. I'd think that on boot, perhaps as part of the livepatch service start-up, would be the most reasonable place to do that, in addition to the cron job. It's as yet unclear why update-motd was missing. I didn't see spoor from the do-release-upgrade in /var/log/apt/history.log, which is where I'd have naively expected to see it. ** Affects: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869614 Title: Missing bits noted on 16.04 to 18.04 do-release-upgrade To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1869614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
