As far as I understand the fix is no longer "proposed" but released; but I still experience this phenomenon (bubble with “software updates available” but no reaction on clicks). On my system (Ubuntu 16.04, daily updates) it happened an hour ago. gnome-software/about says 3.20.1.
Looking through open windows I discovered an update manager, hidden behind other windows. So maybe it just was a wrong expectation of mine that clicking on the bubble would pop up update manager? Is the bubble just a sign to “look for update manager”? Sorry if this sounds more like a question than a bug comment – at the moment I cannot tell the difference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592382 Title: Updates are notified even when they are installed automatically Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Fix Released Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-software source package in Xenial: Fix Released Bug description: HOW TO REPRODUCE: 1. Go to the "Software & Updates" application. 2. Go to the "Updates" tab. 3. Set the "automatically check for updates" option to "daily". 4. Set the "when there are security updates" option to "download and install automatically". 5. Set the "when there are other updates" option to "display weekly". RESULT: In a day there will be a bubble notification telling you there are important updates ready to be installed, but those are set to be installed automatically and the Update Manager won't show up. RELEVANT DETAILS: - The bubble can show up multiple times during the same user session. - The bubble seems to belong to gnome-software, where the Software Updater should be the only application asking the user to upgrade.
