I still got this problem for an upgrade to 24.04 done yesterday (by a relative - I just spent 3 hours on the phone trying to fix the machine).
Looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network- manager/+bug/2055012 (marked as a duplicate of this bug), this bug is still affecting other people who attempted the upgrade, well after the deployment mentioned above. Is this bug really fixed? Here is a summary of what we ended up having to do (not recommending as a potential remediation - just stating here to exorcise our pain and recover from the trauma) * progress got stuck in the upgrade process. Opening the "terminal" area in the upgrader doesn't show any text, and then the whole UI is completely stuck (mouse does not move). Attempting to go to a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F1, Ctrl+Alt+F2… doesn't work. We don't have any way to interact with the laptop anymore (no SSH server is running on it), so we power it off by unplugging it, because we have no other option. * after rebooting, a lot of services cannot start, including GDM, so there is no graphical login. We log in manually in the Ctrl+Alt+F2 area * we try all sorts of "apt install -f", "dpkg --configure -a", "apt install --fix-broken". We remove libreoffice as it is left unconfigured, but that doesn't solve anything. Also the Thunderbird attempts to reinstall itself from Snap, but fails since we don't have any internet access, wonderful. Eventually we manage to skip this step and "apt install --fix-broken" completes, but still with some configuration errors for "libdvd-pkg", which we uninstall as well. At the end we seem to have an happy APT, great. * reboot again, with a working GDM and Gnome this time. Big relief, but still no internet connection, although we are connected via Ethernet. We move to a place with Wifi to see if that would work better, to no avail. I do more googling and find https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/2055012, which gives the final hint: sudo apt install systemd-resolved That restores DNS resolution and we have internet access again! Now we "just" need to install thunderbird. We couldn't do it graphically through some software store (couldn't find it anywhere) so had to resort to the terminal again with "snap install thunderbird". Finally we have a working machine again. -- 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/2054761 Title: Dist upgrades from Jammy to Noble crash [Oh no! Something has gone wrong.] Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in mutter source package in Noble: Invalid Status in systemd source package in Noble: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] During upgrades from Jammy to Noble, systemd.postinst trys to reexec all running user managers. It does so using a feature that was not added until v250, and attempting this against a v249 daemon results in it being killed instead, which brings down all user sessions. Hence, during the upgrades, the user session is killed, and the system is left in a bad state. [Test Plan] Run an upgrade from Jammy to Noble on Ubuntu desktop. The upgrade should proceed normally (or at least not have the entire session killed by systemd.postinst). [Where problems could occur] The fix is to add a version guard against this logic in systemd.postinst. If the version string was wrong or typo'd, the fix would not work as expected.
