Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Updates are often performed as a last task before closing down a machine
(not a restart, but done with it). This is a common scenario for me, at
least. The issue is, that some times, I might be on a slow connection
or the computer I am using is actually a bit slow. So, yeah, that means
it takes time.
Unfortunately, I cannot leave the computer when I have initiated an
upgrade, even though, I can't really use the computer *while* it is
updating. And I am may only hang around it because I intend to shut it
off after it is done.
Therefore, I suggest adding a tick box to the update manager that simply
says 'shut down computer upon successful update'. Or basically, when
the update is done (and no errors were encountered), the system will
attempt to shut down (unless, of course, another application prevents it
from doing so).
Perhaps, for some people, they might want to have an additional tickbox
visible when they have ticked the first; 'shut down computer regardless
of errors'. While this could be dangerous, some people may prefer it
(and then deal with it later, eh).
