Leó are those comments re: Xubuntu and Ubuntu Budgie using some other updating mechanism beyond Discover? I presume so, in which case, it should affect *ALL* flavors including canonical Ubuntu Desktop. In that case, we need to refile this.

That is correct Walter..initially I only saw this on Lubuntu as I had at that point not tested the other flavors..actually that is the main reason I looked at them as well. After seeing that also on Budgie I expected I would need to refile but was not sure what package would be appropriate.

Also not 100% sure this is still the case with Lubuntu as the last 2 days no updates were available after installing the latest ISO's. Will test this further in the A.M.

Ran a quick test on the latest Lubuntu iso 18.11.2020 and the updates completed with no errors.

I retested Lubuntu iso 18.11.2020 and once again had the failure.

After further testing I see that this affects all flavors so I will a new bug report with more and the latest info. The new report is #1904866

Again retested Lubuntu ISO 18.11.20 http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/419/builds/223132/testcases/1701/results

Lenovo M72e i3-2120T,Testcase:UEFI+secure boot

Ran "apply full upgrades" (enter password and nothing happens and no error message) ran Discover and upgrade succeeds

I think the earlier 2 tests of this ISO showed no update error was because they were so close to the release time that no updates were available.

I did a QA-test install of Lubuntu hirsute on dc7700 (with internet)
[not sure it's important, it detected my location as perth; west side of australia instead of east side; about ~2722km out as the bird flies]

On reboot & first install, I got the prompt telling me there were updates & I entered password. I didn't get any error message.

I then opened terminal and `sudo apt update`, and 38 updates were detected. I would normally `sudo apt full-upgrade` but instead opened discover and it detected the 38 packages. I hit apply in discover and the 38 updates were updated. (confirmed at terminal)

I'll add myself as impacted by this issue as the initial update message implies updates were available, I entered password but none were applied. Discover though worked correctly for me.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Tested the Lubuntu Hirsute daily release 20.11.2020 http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/20201120/hirsute-desktop-amd64.iso

Tested 5 different boxes 2 in virtual machines and 3 bare metal.

I did several installs on some of these machines to test both "Discover" and the "upgrade-notifier" in all cases were the updates successful.

Machines tested were:

1. InWin BL641 i5-10400 - VirtualBox
2. Dell [ Optiplex] MT 7040 ( i7-6700) - QEMU
3. Dell [Inspiron] 3521, (i3-3217U) - bare metal
4. Mac mini 7,1 (2014) ( DC i5) - bare metal
5. Acer [Aspire] E3-111-P60S - bare metal

Tests were run in BIOS,UEFI and UEFI + secure boot modes.

So what I'm hearing you say is there is no issue?

Yes after all the tests today - I found no issue.

[Expired for update-manager (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]
