Title:
Backport Ubuntu Pro to Xenial
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in software-properties source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
* Impact
We want desktop integration with Ubuntu Pro
* Test case
- ensure that the machine isn't attached to ubuntu pro (otherwise the screen would not be displayed) and is online
$ pro status
and `$ pro detach` if needed
- $ software-properties-gtk
-> the list of tabs should include an 'Ubuntu Pro' one
The Ubuntu Pro tab should state 'This machine is not covered by an
Ubuntu Pro subscription', display a 'Enable Ubuntu Pro' button and
have other controls inactive
- click 'Enable Ubuntu Pro'
-> A dialog 'Enable Ubuntu Pro' opens
-> the first option 'Enter code on ubuntu.com/pro/attach' is selected
-> a pincode is displayed under the option
- go to http//ubuntu.com/pro/attach and enter the pincode
-> after some seconds the software-properties UI should update and display a green mark and 'Valid token' label on the right of the pincode
- click 'Confirm'
-> you should get an authentification prompt
- enter your password
-> a spinner starts animating instead of the 'Valid token' label
-> once the attachment job is done the dialog is autoclosed
-> the UI should now state 'Ubuntu Pro support is enabled', under Security 'ESM Infra', 'ESM Apps' and 'Kernel Livepatch' should be displayed an enabled
(or without 'ESM Apps' if you don't have the current ubuntu-advantage-tools)
- check that the '$ pro status' output matches the UI one
- try enabling/disable options
-> verify that the 'pro status' change accordingly
- Click 'Disable Ubuntu Pro'
-> you get asked for confirmation and password
-> confirm that the UI is back to the original state and that 'pro status' confirm the system isn't attached to Ubuntu Pro anymore
- Go through the testcase again but selecting the 'Or add token
manually' option, the steps should be similar
* Regression Potential
There could be problems in the UI
The new service could be not working as expected
Strings are new and currently have no translations
The livepatch checkbox is also inactive because the current update-
notifier version in xenial doesn't include livepatch support
-------------------------
Ubuntu Pro enables extended support for 10 years for long term support
Ubuntu series. Xenial is therefore currently also supported under
Ubuntu Pro.
Xenial's software-properties-gtk, however, doesn't have the Ubuntu Pro
functionality that exists in Bionic, Focal etc.
Thus this request to backport the Ubuntu Pro functionality to Xenial.
This depends on LP:2029089.
