[Bug 2091200] Re: Update Manager notification never pop up.

[Jehú Marcos Herrera Puentes]

I tested with a fresh installation of Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS and 24.10
Both using the same configuration on update-manager with Immediately notify.

Only on the LTS release update-manager works as expected and pop up
after a couple of seconds when you reboot the system.


So there is something wrong with the non-lts releases that prevent update-manager to pop up despite the confguration. You need to execute it manually.

Here are some logs when I executed update-manager via cli in 24.10:

WARNING:root:can not import unity GI Namespace Dbusmenu not available
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/uaclient/apt.py:299: Warning: W:Unable to read /var/lib/ubuntu-advantage/apt-esm/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ - DirectoryExists (2: No such file or directory)

  apt_pkg.init_system()


Output from 24.04.1 LTS:

WARNING:root:can not import unity GI Namespace Dbusmenu not available
WARNING:root:Error loading .desktop file /usr/share/ubuntu/applications/texdoctk.desktop: constructor returned NULL
