Public bug reported: I followed the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UtopicUpgrades/Kubuntu to upgrade Kubuntu 14.04 to 14.10.
My upgrade is nearly complete, it's in "Cleaning up" and prompting me Package changes Remove obsolete packages 96 packages are going to be removed However, KDE has jumped the gun and is already displaying its standard yellow restart notification icon, with a notification bubble System Notification Helper A system restart is needed to complete the update process Presumably the back-end dpkg changes have triggered this notification even though the install script knows there's still work to do. Expected behavior: somehow the cross-platform ubuntu-release-upgrader can disable the desktop environment's restart support, or disable it. (There's a similar bug that shortly after I started the upgrade, KDE displayed both a Muon notification and a System notification telling me that a system upgrade is available.)
