[Bug 883618] Re: Console upgrade useless.. XSet warnings all over the screen

[James Hunt]

xdg-screensaver is being called (up to twice a minute) I think to stop
any possibility of a screensaver starting. Each time it is called, it
checks DPMS.

A better fix than I suggested in #11 would be for update-manager simply
not to call xdg-screensaver if DISPLAY is not set.

Title:
  Console upgrade useless.. XSet warnings all over the screen

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Console upgrade via do-release-upgrade of kubuntu desktop is a real pain.  (from a Virtual Terminal, no X11 running)
  Unless you are watching every upgrade's move, there is no way to determine which question got asked.
  It gets scrolled away with  line this:  xset: Unable to open display ""
  also the line gets mis-aligned.

  I was not aware of the issue and watched >1h the screen filled with
  those  error messages..  While the upgrade process waited for my
  answer.
