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 sudo /etc/cron.daily to trigger the background installation of security updates. 5. Once cron.daily has exited, run killall update-notifier && NO_FAKE_STAT=1 faketime -f +1d update-notifier to test the update-notifier behavior. Update Manager should open, displaying only non-security updates.
If this works, but the steps in the current description still do not, then I guess the problem is with step 4: /etc/cron.daily isn't being run, or the updates are failing when being run from cron. -- security updates not installed daily as configured https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549217 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
