[Bug 1799310] Re: No warning when upgrading OS will turn off Livepatch

[Jeb E.]

It would be nice to have some warning the added security benefits available in 18.04 would be removed upon upgrade to 18.10...
😥

There really needs to be some sort of dialogue box warning the user.

Title:
  No warning when upgrading OS will turn off Livepatch

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. Install an LTS release, e.g. Ubuntu 18.04.

  2. Turn on Livepatch.

  3. Run “do-release-upgrade”, “ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk”, or
  “ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt” to upgrade to the following non-LTS
  release.

  What happens: You are prompted to upgrade as normal.

  What should happen: At some point before you confirm that the upgrade
  should begin, you are warned that upgrading will turn off Livepatch.

  This warning should not appear if you weren’t using Livepatch anyway.
