[Bug 1990450] Re: Show potential Ubuntu Pro updates

Fri Sep 22 15:50:02 UTC 2023

Sharing some tip to try the news feature if there isn't a news available
on the server

$ sudo apt install nginx
$ sudo sed -i "s/gzip on;/gzip on;\n\tgzip_min_length 1;\n\tgzip_types application\/json;\n/" /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
$ sudo systemctl restart nginx
$ sudo pro config set apt_news_url=http://localhost:80/aptnews.json
$ sudo editor /var/www/html/aptnews.json

using the content

{
    "messages": [
        {
            "begin": "2023-09-03T00:00:00Z",
            "lines": [
                "You can verify the status of security fixes using the `pro fix` command.",
                "E.g., a recent Ruby vulnerability can be checked with: `pro fix USN-6219-1`",
                "For more detail see: https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-6219-1"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Show the Ubuntu Pro (aka Ubuntu Advantage) updates that would be enabled if you attached this machine. This information is not currently shown.

  The new revision also update the reference to the Software Properties'
  Livepatch tab which doesn't exist anymore since bug #2003527 and was
  replaced by Ubuntu Pro.

+ There is also a new section 'News' showing the apt-news messages if
+ there are any available
+ 
  [Test Case]
- 1. Do fresh install of Ubuntu.
+ 1. Do fresh install of Ubuntu with available updates
  2. Check there are updates available by running:
  $ pro security-status
  Note that updates are only available for older LTS releases.
  3. Open update-manager

- Expected result:
- Updates from step 2 are shown as available.
+ -> There should be a 'Ubuntu Pro security updates (Enable in
+ Settings...)' section at the bottom of the updates list showing disabled
+ and including under it the name of the packages should could be enable
+ if pro was enabled

- Check also the UI layout, Ubuntu Pro widgets should not collide and be
- aligned with the other sections
+ 4. start software-properties, go to the ubuntu pro tab and attach to a pro account
+ 5. close software-properties and restart update-manager
+ 
+ -> There should be a 'Ubuntu Pro security updates' section at the bottom
+ of the updates list showing enabled and including under it packages
+ updated provided by pro that can be installed
+ 
+ 6. Check the top of the update-manager dialog
+ 
+ If there is a message available on the server
+ $ curl https://motd.ubuntu.com/aptnews.json
+ with a timestamp older than one month
+ 
+ then a 'news' section should be displayed including the message
+ 

  [Regression Potential]
  Possibility of introducing new bugs.

  The new livepatch->ubuntu pro string change will not be translated until
  the next language pack refresh
