The software sources GUI acknowledges but _it doesn't update_. You need to press the button. The main difference between GUI and command line is that you don't get the message: "you need to update first you repository". If you are using add-apt-repository it implies that you know what you are doing.
Let's say I am using 2 connections on my laptop. 3g and ADSL at home. 3g is very expensive and I'm using it only to check my mail and little bit of web. I saw some interesting PPA's and decide to add some to my list. Every time I add new PPA it tries to update and I need to CONTROL-C to cancel it cause it will download about 10MB which is a lot. What I meant to say is configuration should be separate. I'm sure the developer behind this tool would explain you reasons behind this much more clearly. -- add-apt-repository should call apt-get update after adding the repository https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438638 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
