(Get the code!)
Sadly, I can't say this is verification-done for Jammy. I hit a number of bugs trying to test it.
* There doesn't appear to be any line wrapping at all on the main update installation screen anymore. This may seem petty, but this is the updater some of our users are going to use for the next year (and maybe even the next three years if they use Lubuntu Jammy beyond its end-of-life). This looks bad enough to warrant fixing that.
* More to the point, on a fresh Lubuntu Jammy installation, my first attempt at running the upgrade bombed out.
- Installed Lubuntu 22.04.
- Used the sed command in the test plan.
- Enabled -proposed and ran sudo apt update.
- Installed the updated lubuntu-
- Disabled -proposed and ran sudo apt update.
- Rebooted.
- Used the new updater to install all system updates.
- Got the offer to upgrade and accepted it.
- Entered my password.
- All windows vanished, no upgrade was started.
* I then logged out and back in, in an attempt to trigger the upgrade. I was immediately offered the ability to upgrade, but with the peculiar message "An upgrade to Lubuntu 23.10 is available. Would you like to install it? Reboot required". This looks like some things are getting combined that shouldn't be combined with the "reboot required" bit.
* Notwithstanding the above oddity, I confirmed that I did want to upgrade, whereupon I was asked for my password. I provided it... and was immediately asked for my password again. I provided that too, which caused a normal *update* installation window to appear, not the do-release-upgrade window. It finished doing whatever it did very quickly, I clicked "Close", and then everything vanished. No upgrade was started.
* Finally, I rebooted the VM, and was again offered the upgrade. I accepted, input my password (twice again - it asked me for it two times), and *that* finally triggered the do-release-upgrade window. But for some reason, the background "Upgrade Lubuntu" window didn't change to say "Upgrading..." or anything similar like I had seen it do before. It remained active! This looks like a user could very easily start the upgrader twice, or potentially kill an in-progress upgrade on accident.
This needs more work before we can push it into an existing LTS. I'll look into it hopefully soon.
