** Description changed: [Impact] * Error messages emitted to software-properties-gtk console "[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json'" due to incorrect expectation that status.json file is written when non-root runs `ua status` * This logic results in multiple `ua status` calls which each result in a network-egress to https://contracts.canonical.com on unattached machines which could result in delays in rendering the GTK dialogs while awaiting a response. [Test Case] 1. Install latest version of software-properties-gtk from -proposed cat > setup_proposed.sh <<EOF - #/bin/bash + #!/bin/bash mirror=http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu echo deb \$mirror \$(lsb_release -sc)-proposed main | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list apt-get update -q apt-get install -qy software-properties-gtk EOF IP=`uvt-kvm ip ${DESKTOP_VM}` scp setup_proposed.sh ubuntu@$IP:. ssh ubuntu@$IP -- sudo bash ./setup_proposed.sh 2. run software-properties-gtk on the commandline ssh ubuntu@$IP -- software-properties-gtk # Validate no error messages on launch 3. Click Updates tab and validate Basic Security Maintenance "Extend..." Active until 04/23/2025 (Extend.. is a link that will spawn a browser to ubuntu.com/security/esm) - 4. Click Cancel button 5. Attach to a UA contract and re-run Software and updates UX ssh ubuntu@$IP -- sudo ua attach $MY_TOKEN ssh ubuntu@$IP -- software-properties-gtk # validate no error messages 6. Click Updates tab and validate: Extended Security Maintenance Active until 12/31/1999 # Note no "Extend..." text or link [Where problems could occur] * invalid parsing of UA contract information or missing /var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json will print messages to the console in the event of errors or warnings. * failures and tracebacks in this code will result in invalid representation of system defaults in the Updates tab about whether or not a machine is attached to a contract or whether the contract is expired. * Other than user-facing documentation about the state of the UA subscription this does not prevent the dialogs from functioning. * limited network environments could have a delay of UX rendering due to `ua status` calls timing out on attempts to reach contracts.canonical.com [Original Description] Release: bionic/focal Version: 0.96.24.32 (bionic) Issue: Software & Updates GTK UI doesn't report availability of Ubuntu Advantage ESM Infra or ESM Apps services on unattached machines Steps to repropduce: Launch software-properties-gtk from the commandline. See unexpected errors on the terminal No ua status file written: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/status.json' Navigation to the "Updates" tab See only: Basic Security Maintenance 04/26/2023 Expected results: See no error messages on terminal See a link to the right of Basic Security Maintenance on the "Updates" tab that points to ESM info Basic Security Maintenance Extend...(links to ubuntu.com/security/esm)
