** Description changed: [Impact] * Unattended-upgrades may keep running during shutdown even beyond unmounting local filesystems potentially leaving a broken installation behind. * The fix reverts the original fix of LP: #1778219 and applies a different one startin unattended-upgrades-shutdown _before_ the shutdown transaction starts/ [Test Case] * Run unattended-upgrades in InstallOnShutdown mode and observe it being finished installing a few packages _before_ the shutdown transaction starts: $ lxc launch ubuntu:18.10 cc-uu-onshutdown Creating cc-uu-onshutdown Starting cc-uu-onshutdown $ lxc shell cc-uu-onshutdown mesg: ttyname failed: No such device root@cc-uu-onshutdown:~# apt update -qq 33 packages can be upgraded.

Due to the shutdown not fully starting yet users may not get visual - notification of unattended-upgrades running. In my testing when a - logged-in user shuts down the system when InstallOnShutdown is - configured the user is dropped out to the login manager and nothing - shows that u-u is running behind the screens for 30s, when the - inhibition timer expires and u-u is starting to gracefully stop and the - usual text appears after the login manager exits and plymouth shutdown - screen is shown. The fix would be the login manager also monitoring - PrepareForShutdown() and exiting. + notification of unattended-upgrades running. + + In my testing on Bionic when a logged-in user shuts down the system when + InstallOnShutdown is configured the user is dropped out to the login + manager and nothing shows that u-u is running behind the screens for + 30s, when the inhibition timer expires and u-u is starting to gracefully + stop and the usual text appears after the login manager exits and + plymouth shutdown screen is shown.

Users should be logged out + on PrepareForShutdown(). * The reversion of unattended-upgrades.service was not complete in u-u 1.7 and needed a further fix in 1.7ubuntu1 (which fix is already included in 1.5ubuntu4). This part may be source of potential regressions. * The fix itself rewrites big part of unattended-upgrades-shutdown and this rewrite could cause regressions in running unattended-upgrades in InstallOnShutdown mode, but also this mode was extensively tested. * The fix includes increasing logind's InhibitDelayMaxSec to 30s to give u-u enough time to gracefully stop in normal mode and install packages in InstallOnShutdown mode. The delay is global, thus any other program holding the lock can delay shutdown or sleep by 30s instead of the original 5s default. This regression is hard to avoid and the 30s was chosen to minimize the regression potential while still giving more than 5s to u-u to finish actions. Bugs reporting increased delay to sleep or shutdown should be monitored to catch other programs misbehaving with this new default. [Other Info] This is a regression of introduced in LP: #1778219 and can be observed in a cosmic lxd container easily: $ lxc launch ubuntu:18.10 cc-uu-onshutdown Creating cc-uu-onshutdown Starting cc-uu-onshutdown $ lxc shell cc-uu-onshutdown mesg: ttyname failed: No such device root@cc-uu-onshutdown:~# apt update -qq 33 packages can be upgraded.
