[Bug 1973785] [NEW] lock screen message appeared during an SSH upgrade

[Brian Murray]

Public bug reported:

I was upgrading and Ubuntu 20.04 system to Ubuntu 22.04 over an ssh
connection and noticed the following message:

`Unable to disable lock screen

It is highly recommended that the lock screen be disabled during the
upgrade to prevent later issues. Please ensure your screen lock is
disabled before continuing.

To continue please press [ENTER]`

Given that I'm connected via ssh the message seems unnecessary. Some
details from main.log:
