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

[Jonathan Riddell]

I don't know of any graceful method for a KDM restart.  Leaving KDM
running even if it's no use to log in is fine, certainly better than
killing the upgrade half way through and users are prompted to restart
the machine after the upgrade is complete.

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.
