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 was set up it has NEVER displayed an icon in the Indicator Applet on the Gnome panel, although it seems to launch the Update Manager every seven (7) days. If there are critical security updates, I don't see them until the Update Manager is launched, whether automatically or manually. When Update Manager is launched, its button appears in the bottom panel, but a corresponding alert icon never appears in the top panel.
There is clearly a disconnect between update interval settings made in the Update Manager and those reflected in the Configuration Editor. This was never a problem in my previous Ubuntu 8.10 installation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549217 Title: security updates not installed daily as configured -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
