You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Sometimes after upgrading system, an icon appears in the notification bar.
A light bulb, if I recall correctly. With the icon comes the following message:
"Ubuntu has some information for you." (or something like that)
It might have something to do with restarting Firefox after upgrade, but I
cannot say for sure.
I was watching a real user (not interested in hacking) use Ubuntu
when this happened. The feature seems to cause a problem in user
experience.
- "Why does Ubuntu suddenly have some information for me?"
- "I didn't ask for any information."
- (notification ignored)
The feature seems to affect user as, if "getting some information"
would be a use case. The message is similar to software that
recommends you some entertainment, or advertises stuff to you.
User does not realize the information is a system message or
relevant in any way. It is just "some information". People encounter
all kinds of useless information everyday. Why would this
"some information" be important to the user.
I think this would be fixed by telling the user something like
"Maintenance required" or "Ubuntu needs your attention".
That kind of a message tells user that it is Ubuntu that has
a problem the user could solve. Not the other way around.
Maybe an apology for the inconvenience would also be
appropriate.
