provided you are not subjected to the update notifier bug, you will receive a steady stream of updates. If you are not receiving update notifications, I'd suggest opening a terminal session:

Menu --> Accessories --> LXTerminal

Then issue the following command (you will be prompted for your password). This may take a while to complete... Do NOT turn your computer off!!!!

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

update will pull in the list of new updates, upgrade will install them. If there are a lot of updates to be done, I'd advise doing a reboot once they are all installed. The updates include a fix to the update notifier :)


Phill and all:

I just wanted to comment on the above.

One of the big improvements of 14.04, is that the Software Updater (menu...system tools...software updater) now works reliably on Lubuntu - even on my slowest (450 megahertz) machine.

They have finally fixed that bug (that I despaired they would ever fix).

It is no longer necessary to resort to using a terminal session to update your system.
