[Bug 549217] Re: security updates not installed daily as configured

Konstantin, I understand that it's frustrating to have a bug report neglected for years. But if another open-source OS is quicker on average at resolving bug reports it receives, it's most likely because it receives an order of magnitude fewer bug reports. The purpose of a bug tracker is to help d

Good thing I quit Ubuntu after logging this bug. Only took 5 years in the backlog and then it's "stale". Thank you for giving me the nudge I needed to try other distros 5 years ago so that I no longer have to deal with this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

[Bug 549217] Re: security updates not installed daily as configured

I performed a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS on an AMD Athlon (32-bit) system around the end of November 2010 and selected an update- check interval of every two days, but in the Configuration Editor /apps /update-notifier shows a setting of regular_auto_launch_interval = 7. Since the system

[Bug 549217] Re: security updates not installed daily as configured

Matthew, I think the problem is that it will be hard for your users to reproduce this bug. It's not even clear that this can be deterministically reproduced. For instance, I just installed Ubuntu onto a VM to try reproducing it, using the same USB stick that I used to install to my desktop (which e

Michael and I have now refined the test case to make it easier to run: 1. Install Ubuntu. 2. Log in to the new Ubuntu installation for the first time. 3. In “Software Sources” > “Updates”, choose “Check for updates: Daily” and “Install security updates without confirmation”. 4. At a terminal, run

[Bug 549217] Re: security updates not installed daily as configured

Michel, I don't understand how that could explain why some users are not notified with the "download all in background" option. The boxes that show pending security updates when manually opening update-manager even though "install security updates without confirmation" has been configured actually

[Bug 549217] Re: security updates not installed daily as configured

The problem is that the installation of the security updates resets the "7 days" counter for normal updates. Currently the code is not able to distinguish between unattended-upgrades installs and manual installs (they go into the same log file). -- security updates not installed daily as configur

Hi, I've done as you suggested above. I did several fresh installs of Ubuntu on Virtualbox - however, slightly different behaviour was exhibited on different occasions. On the very first installation I performed, the Update Manager opened immediately after the installation had completed and sugges

[Bug 549217] Re: security updates not installed daily as configured

I recognize it is difficult to confirm bugs relating to update checking, because (1) they're dependent on updates from a repository you don't control, (2) the steps often involve waiting for days, and (3) we've never had a specification for exactly how they should behave. It would be super-awesome

Re: [Bug 549217] Re: security updates not installed daily as configured

I'm the original reporter, and as far as I'm aware I am actually getting security updates correctly auto installed - but I'm still not getting any notification of new non-security updates (without manually starting Update Manager). I would be prepared to set aside some time for more investigation

[Bug 549217] Re: security updates not installed daily as configured

There doesn't seem anything special to be necessary to reproduce. Maybe it's the usage pattern. The computers are usually not running for more then 2-3 hours at at time, then shut down until next boot. Konstantin does not get any out of the box notifications of security updates. Original reporter

For me this problems happens on a fresh install on two different machines (one Acer Aspire laptop, one AMD 64 3000+ desktop) with no changes to any settings. My steps to reproduce it are: 1. Install Ubuntu. 2. A week later (and after several restarts) open up update- manager manually and see that i

This bug is serious if it's valid, but it's not yet clear that it is valid. What would help most next is for someone to do the work of writing precise steps to reproduce the problem, starting from a pristine installation of 10.04 (or a pristine installation of 9.10 upgraded to 10.04).
