[Bug 1990234] Re: No notification on Kubuntu

[Nick Rosbrook]

This was discussed recently on the ubuntu-devel mailing list[1], and I
believe there is a plan going forward, starting with upgrades from
22.04.

Title:
  No notification on Kubuntu

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  There was no notification about a new release upgrade (not even after
  manually refreshing within Discover).

  My dad was telling me he got some error message but it was displayed
  only too short to read. When I checked it in the command line, I could
  see that the repositories for "impish" could not be reached any more.
  After further investigation, I found out that the support ended. There
  was no notification or anything telling him to upgrade the
  distribution. I had to manually search in order to find the website
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JammyUpgrades/Kubuntu#Upgrade. and
  start the upgrade via `pkexec do-release-upgrade -m desktop -f
  DistUpgradeViewKDE` from the command line.

  You already have the infrastructure to perform distribution upgrades,
  the only thing missing is a regular check for new releases in
  combination with a notification to the user.
