$ sudo apt update Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of apt-news.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units. And debugging that identified that snapd on install/update caused the whole system to go into that bad state. But users rarely check so deep and we might want to avoid false perception of Pro being broken (like in this case where we neither caused it, nor can fix it, ...) On the other hand we do not just want to hide it, so if we suppress them and get STDERR we need to consider if they should go at least to the log and if we need another way to flag "there is something wrong here on your system" less associated with the pro client. So the potential range from "suppress / quiet" to "very complex error redirection is huge". While pondering, TBH we probably should go for the simpler method. While hoping that the real fix of the root cause (not just hiding the symptom) will also soon be fixed in either in snapd (triggering it) or systemd (https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/32959 part of the reason snapd triggers it). ** Affects: ubuntu-advantage-tools (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/2074211 Title: Consider hiding error messages in apt-news.service to avoid being percived as "pro is broken" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-advantage-tools/+bug/2074211/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
