[Bug 1761841] Re: [UIFe] Notification for livepatch are not shown.

[Sebastien Bacher]

NoDisplay means the item shouldn't be listed in menus or the shell
overview, there are some UIs that list those items though (like the
gnome-control-center notifications panel, that's required to be able to
turn off notification from component like the one we are discussing.
Note that in the current state it's likely that livepatch isn't listed
in g-c-c but that's a bug/work needed)

Title:
  [UIFe] Notification for livepatch are not shown.

Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  User Interface Freeze Exception Justification
  =============================================
  Livepatch notifications are not shown in Bionic. We need an UIFe because new translatable strings need to be added. The translatable strings appear
  in Desktop Files marked as "NoDisplay=True", so the impact of non-translated strings should be minimum.

  Original Bug Description
  ========================
  update-notifier uses a Systemd path unit to show notifications regarding Canonical Livepatch updates. The systemd path unit requires graphical-session.target (not working in Bionic). A possible solution is to autostart the path unit at startup.
