The text in software-properties is misleading, that is obviously bad. If you think the auto launching is not working, you can test it with (in a terminal): $ NO_FAKE_STAT=1 faketime '10 days' update-notifier (you will need the faketime package for this to work).
You need to reset the launch time afterward with: $ gconftool --unset /apps/update-manager/launch_time to ensure that its not recorded as launched 10 days in the future. There is also "update-notifier --debug-updates" to check why it thinks it does not need to auto-launch. -- update-manager doesn't show updates, even after 1 week https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356152 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
