[Bug 985735] Re: update-manager restarts KDM and interrupts update process

[Steve Langasek]

Since the pam issue was first reported in 10.10, I believe this will
impact upgrades from both 10.04 LTS and from 11.10.  It probably also
affected 10.04->10.10 and 10.10->11.04 upgrades, but may have gone
unnoticed because pam was also restarting kdm at the time and took all
the blame

Title:
  update-manager restarts KDM and interrupts update process

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When updating to 12.04 LTS from Oneiric, the update-manager process
  prompts to restart KDM. The problem is that it actually restarts the
  whole X server, interrupting the update process. The only way to work
  around the issue is to finish the installation manually, with aptitude
  for example.
