However users may have uninstalled ubuntu-desktop but kept ubuntu-session or may have installed another flavour then installed ubuntu-session afterwards. In both cases gnome-initial-setup and ubuntu-report are not installed during a release upgrade to bionic but gnome-initial-setup and ubuntu-report still need to run if they log into the ubuntu session. Based on the upgrade crash reports from xenial to bionic collected by launchpad, over a total of 81 reports: - 63.0% have ubuntu-desktop installed - 81.5% have ubuntu-session installed Which means 18.5% do not have g-i-s and ubuntu-report installed during upgrade.
