[Bug 1308885] Re: Unable to restart into and complete an Ubiquity Upgrade

[LantzR]

[More complete version of comment #2 above]

My workaround  to finish installing 14.04 Tahr, with (System Settings...
-> Details )  showing I was still on 13.10 and 'update-manager -d'
saying there was nothing to upgrade as I described above, was to use the
distribution upgrade for servers:

    `sudo do-release-upgrade -d`

That took me successfully to 14.04

https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html

For me personally the issue with `sudo update-manager -d` being unable
to finish was a paper scratch , a surprise as I expected both a rerun or
a restart to continue where it left off. Most human clients  if they get
caught in this rare net drop situation would get seriously stuck and the
work around of switching to do-release-upgrade is not intuitively
obvious .

Title:
  Unable to restart into and complete an Ubiquity Upgrade

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubiquity: About halfway through getting new packages (1,017+ of 2,045), in an Ubiquity Distribution Upgrade (`sudo update-manager -d`) to 14.04, I lost my wireless access connection.
  The net access had been flaky and I hold Ubiquity blameless in the dropped connection.

  The issue was I was unable to get Ubiquity to continue on. About this
  system still showned 13.10 and `update-manager -d` stated there where
  no updates. I kinda expected a restart to pick up the ball but it
  didnot, nor did a full power restart.

  I am not in any position to be able to recreate the issue, though I
  believe that just pulling the network connection while the system is
  fetching files will manifest what happened to me.

  I had been logging the progress of the file being fetched prior to
  losing the connection. My last manual entry was recording that
  Ubiquity was "Fetching file 1,083 of 2,045 at a blazing 217 kB/s "
