Due to the shutdown not fully starting yet users may not get visual notification of unattended-upgrades running. In my testing on Bionic when a logged-in user shuts down the system when InstallOnShutdown is configured the user is dropped out to the login manager and nothing shows that u-u is running behind the screens for 30s, when the inhibition timer expires and u-u is starting to gracefully stop and the usual text appears after the login manager exits and plymouth shutdown screen is shown. The fix would be the login manager also monitoring PrepareForShutdown() and exiting (LP: #1803581). On Xenial (with Unity) starting shutdown from the graphical session does not log the user out nor show any progress on the shutdown until the inhibition timer expires which is confusing. Users should be logged out on PrepareForShutdown() (LP: #1803581). * The reversion of unattended-upgrades.service was not complete in u-u 1.7 and needed a further fix in 1.7ubuntu1 (which fix is already included in 1.5ubuntu4). This part may be source of potential regressions. * The fix itself rewrites big part of unattended-upgrades-shutdown and this rewrite could cause regressions in running unattended- upgrades in InstallOnShutdown mode, but also this mode was extensively tested. * The fix includes increasing logind's InhibitDelayMaxSec to 30s to give u-u enough time to gracefully stop in normal mode and install packages in InstallOnShutdown mode. The delay is global, thus any other program holding the lock can delay shutdown or sleep by 30s instead of the original 5s default. This regression is hard to avoid and the 30s was chosen to minimize the regression potential while still giving more than 5s to u-u to finish actions. Bugs reporting increased delay to sleep or shutdown should be monitored to catch other programs misbehaving with this new default.
