Feature #17313
Tails doesn't restart after applying an automatic upgrade
0%
Description
On my machine, after doing an automatic upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1 and choosing “Restart Now” my laptop hanged on a grey screen but never restarted. Restarting from the system menu works fine otherwise: it displays the same grey screen but a console message appears on the “Rebooting system” (or something like that).
Could this possibly trigger some occurrences of Bug #10976 if people end up forcing the shutdown?

This looks suspiciously like Bug #17026, so let me ask: how long did you wait before concluding it never restarts?
(I realize that from a user’s perspective, a long delay with no feedback can be equivalent to “never restarts”. But to fix this problem, we need data about what’s actually happening under the hood, not only about how the user interprets it :)

Do I understand correctly that in this context, “otherwise” means “in cases when I did not just apply an automatic upgrade”?

I don’t know how long I waited.
I’ll test again for 4.2 or when I’ll have a fix for Bug #17316.
