I have this issue on one 22.04 server. Several other 22.04 servers are completely fine.
On the one where it isn't, auditd confirms the file is simply never created during the update process. update-notifier-common is installed on all of them. Looking to see what the differences between the servers are, I do note this is the only one to have Ubuntu Advantage enabled: # pro status SERVICE ENTITLED STATUS DESCRIPTION anbox-cloud yes disabled Scalable Android in the cloud esm-apps yes enabled Expanded Security Maintenance for Applications esm-infra yes enabled Expanded Security Maintenance for Infrastructure livepatch yes enabled Canonical Livepatch service realtime-kernel yes disabled Ubuntu kernel with PREEMPT_RT patches integrated This makes me wonder if something related to livepatch is going 'Ha, you don't need to reboot' even when you do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1984203 Title: /var/run/reboot-required not created after installing new kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1984203/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
