Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 16.04, using gnome-software 3.20.1+git20160426.1.a976144 -ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu1
software-properties-gtk has a setting for "When there are other updates" besides security updates. Setting this to "Display every two weeks" should prevent all non-security update notifications from bothering the user more often than every two weeks. gnome-software categorizes some non-security updates as "OS Updates" and every day it displays the pop-up message "Software Updates Available Important OS and application updates are ready to be installed." ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1580836 Title: Gnome Software ignores software-properties-gtk "When there are other updates" setting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1580836/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
