[Bug 1787553] Re: Add a reminder to enable Livepatch

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Brian, this change adds one sentence to the update success notification,
and one extra word to an existing button. It does not add any buttons,
it does not make the notification appear more often than it otherwise
would, and it does not require any more (or less obvious) clicks to
dismiss than it otherwise would. Unless I’m missing some unintended
change, I don’t see how it’s “really naggy”.

Title:
  Add a reminder to enable Livepatch

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in update-manager source package in Bionic:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  We should remind user about the possibility to enable Livepatch because at the moment we only suggest to do so in gnome-initial-setup.

  Note that there is a new string, but launchpad already has
  translations from cosmic and those are going to be included in the
  next bionic langpack export

  [Test Case]
  Please note that the reminder will not be shown the first 3 times you start update-manager.

  1. Make sure that the computer is full updated and no restart is required
  2. Make sure Livepatch is disabled (you can use cli or software-properties-gtk)
  3. Open update-manager
  4. Make sure no reminder is shown
  5. Close update-manager
  5. Repeat (3-5) two times more.

  Now you're ready to go:

  1. Open update-manager
  2. Make sure a reminder to enable livepatch is shown
  3. Close update-manager
  4. Enable Livepatch
  5. Open update-manager
  6. Make sure the reminder is no longer shown

  [Regression Potential]
  Please make sure the message "%d Livepatch updates applied since the last restart." is correctly shown if livepatch updates has been applied.

  [Original Bug Report]

  "In cases where the updates-complete confirmation wasn’t complicated
  by other things (such as telling you that you need to restart this
  time), it could extend to invite you to set up Livepatch.

  One option would be to omit this invitation until the third or fourth
  update. By then people would have a better understanding of the
  benefit; and they might also have set up an Ubuntu One account for
  other purposes, easing the setup.

  The “Settings & Livepatch…” button would take you to the normal update
  settings UI that includes Livepatch... !
