I just ran an errand, and thought about that font workaround. The MATE issue makes me doubt about running the code for all the flavors.
We know that the root cause is changes to the Ubuntu font. That font is explicitly used for desktop in standard Ubuntu and MATE. But is it used for desktop by any other flavor? I fear that we for other flavors mess with their settings unnecessarily. If the reset succeeds, it doesn't matter much, but maybe more flavors have not enabled the required systemd integration, and then our 'temporary' change gets persistent. Which may or may not matter in practice. So maybe it would be better to only run the code for flavors where we know that it makes a difference. Something like: is_mate = False desktops = os.getenv('XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP', '').split(':') if 'MATE' in desktops: schema = 'org.mate.interface' is_mate = True else if 'GNOME' in desktops: schema = 'org.gnome.desktop.interface' else if 'xxx' in desktops: schema = 'yyy' else: return -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2034986 Title: some text became unreadable during a distribution upgrade Status in Ubuntu MATE: New Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in ubuntu-meta source package in Mantic: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader source package in Mantic: In Progress Bug description: I was upgrading from Lunar to Mantic the other day and left a couple of applications open during the upgrade process.
