Public bug reported:
Every time I go into Settings (by L clicking the downward triangle in the upper
R of the screen), L clicking the button that shows a icon of a screwdriver and
a wrench crossing each other).
I go to Details.
I go to the About tab.
I Left click the “Check for updates” button.
This function has NEVER worked properly on this laptop. It always opens
another window that says “Software is up to date”.
I know that the software is not up to date (confirmed in aptitude).
As a work around, I have been applying updates through sudo aptitude in
a terminal window, but I thought it would be nice for you Ubuntu folks
to know the GUI tool for checking for updates has never been working on
this laptop (for years).
It did not ever work for 18.04.4 for years. I'm going to update to v
20.04.4 this week but it's a long time bug so I think it probably won't
be updated in v 20 either.
Thanks.
