Title:
  Upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 hides service restart message

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I performed an upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 on the Unity desktop using
  update-manager. The process started as expected and downloaded all the
  packages but stopped near the beginning of the install process stating
  it was preparing libc6. It was only because I expanded the terminal
  that I notices it required a few services to restart for the
  installation to continue. This prompt came up twice but this would be
  a massive problem for anyone unfamiliar with the process, i.e. a non
  technical person using the system. What should really happen is that a
  GTK prompt should come up with a restart or cancel button, not a
  terminal dialog like it currently does. Either that or it should just
  restart these services anyway without prompt as the user should not
  really be using the system at the point of upgrade anyway. They are
  hardly critical services anyway (cups and cron as I remember).
