[Bug 2038946] Re: Lubuntu 23.10: some text became unreadable during a distribution upgrade

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Do you have some idea how it could be avoided?

The idea, as regards the display of the upgrader itself, and which both
you and I mentioned, was to use some non-changed font temporarily. And
that is hopefully in place now for this cycle for the affected flavors.

But otherwise the general advice is to not run programs unnecessarily
during the upgrade, right?

At this time I tend to think that trying to eliminate all instances of
unreadable text due to changed fonts during upgrade wouldn't be worth
it. Aka "won't fix".

But maybe I'm missing something.

Title:
  Lubuntu 23.10: some text became unreadable during a distribution
  upgrade

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

Bug description:
  This is the Lubuntu version of LP: #2034986

  Test Case
  ---------
  - Install Lubuntu 23.04
  - Open a terminal and run this command then perform the upgrade to 23.10:
  do-release-upgrade -d -m desktop -f DistUpgradeViewKDE

  What Happens
  ------------
  The upgrader itself remained readable as did window titles etc.

  However, text in the about:welcome page in Firefox became unreadable.
  This was fixed by restarting Firefox. Therefore, I'm setting this
  severity to Low.

  Also seen with Kubuntu and Ubuntu Budgie.
