So physically at the machine it was only possible to log into the command prompt. There is no graphical interface available.
To top it off Network manager was stopped! Not very good for network-manager to be stopped right after an upgrade. sudo service network-manager restart started the network, where I could resume fixing the computer over ssh. sudo apt install -f is my first course of action. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670291 Title: Landscape: Upgrade 14.04.5 to 16.04.2 fails unable to reboot Status in landscape-client package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in landscape-client source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in systemd source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in landscape-client source package in Bionic: New Status in systemd source package in Bionic: In Progress Status in landscape-client source package in Cosmic: Fix Committed Status in systemd source package in Cosmic: Fix Released Bug description: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/10061 [Impact] * When logind is not available, shutdown command fails to schedule a shutdown, and despite its intentions to immediately shutdown, does not do so. [Test Case] sudo systemctl mask systemd-logind.service sudo systemctl stop systemd-logind.service shutdown +1 The expectation is that system goes to shutdown. It is buggy if the system remains up - i.e. command returns to shell with exit code 1. [Regression Potential] * It is a corner case to run against systemd-shim logind / or logind not otherwise available. The function still performs a clean-shutdown, and should not cause loss of work. [Other Info] * Original bug report, running against systemd-shim/systemd-service post trusty->xenial upgrade, pre-reboot. Used Landscape (Paid Canonical Subscription) to upgrade one of my machines. Landscape only shows "In Progress" for more than 8 hours now and asked for a reboot of the machine in a second alert. In the reboot attempt I get the message: ========================= Failed to set wall message, ignoring: Method "SetWallMessage" with signature "sb" on interface "org.freedesktop.login1.Manager" doesn't exist Failed to call ScheduleShutdown in logind, proceeding with immediate shutdown: Method "ScheduleShutdown" with signature "st" on interface "org.freedesktop.login1.Manager" doesn't exist ========================= Steps to reproduce: * Fully updated 14.04.5 machine * Open Landscape * Choose the machine * Choose Packages * This computer can be upgraded to a newer release * Apply * Wait 2 hours * Alert comes in a seperate Landscape message Machine is ready for reboot * Choose Info... Power * Deliver to selected computers as soon as possible * Error message I found this thread on reddit about this issue maybe the solution can be built into the upgrade script https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/4wy3go/trying_to_run_as_user_instance_but_the_system_has/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/landscape-client/+bug/1670291/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
