[Bug 883618] Re: Console upgrade useless.. XSet warnings all over the screen

[Hunter Wall]

I experienced this bug on 11.10 -> 12.04 using 1:0.152.25.9, and got spammed to heck by this message. Found a decent solution though: did 
ps aux | grep "xdg"
and found this:
root     16097  0.0  0.0   1916   440 pts/20   S+   15:08   0:00 /bin/sh -c while true; do /usr/bin/xdg-screensaver reset; sleep 30; done
in the output. Killed that process, nothing further.
Thought that future users might find this useful.

Title:
  Console upgrade useless.. XSet warnings all over the screen

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Console upgrade via do-release-upgrade of kubuntu desktop is a real pain.  (from a Virtual Terminal, no X11 running)
  Unless you are watching every upgrade's move, there is no way to determine which question got asked.
  It gets scrolled away with  line this:  xset: Unable to open display ""
  also the line gets mis-aligned.

  I was not aware of the issue and watched >1h the screen filled with
  those  error messages..  While the upgrade process waited for my
  answer.
