[Bug 1770686] Re: Hide livepatch widgets in flavors without an online account panel in gnome-control-center

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Andrea, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-properties into bionic-proposed. The package will
build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/software-properties/0.96.24.32.5 in a few hours, and then in the
-proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  Hide livepatch widgets in flavors without an online account panel in
  gnome-control-center

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in software-properties source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  
  [Impact]
  Some distributions ship software-properties-gtk but not gnome-control-center. Considering that Livepatch strictly depends on the online account panel in gnome-control-center we should not show the option to enable Livepatch if those distributions, otherwise enabling Livepatch will fail and it will seem buggy.

  [Test Case]
  1. Start xubuntu (Bionic)
  2. Open software-properties-gtk
  3. Go to "Updates" tab
  4. Make sure no Livepatch UI is displayed

  [Regression Potential] 
  Please make sure the Livepatch UI is correctly displayed in vanilla Bionic.

  [Original Bug Report]

  Unfortunately Livepatch strictly depends on the online account panel
  in gnome-control-center. We should hide the checkbutton in flavors
  (e.g. Xubuntu) that do not ship gnome-control-center and/or the online
  account panel.
