Public bug reported: If there are a lot of updates available, Software Updater in raring will "freeze" for a while before showing the update list.
By freeze, I mean the window goes dark. The GTK event loop isn't given control while update-manager is thinking about the update list. The original source of the problem is that update-manager has a naive recursive calculation of updates. It probably needs to implement a better algorithm. But regardless of the algorithm, it could stand to be responsive while it's thinking. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1137996 Title: Software Updater freezes for a while if there are many updates available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1137996/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
