Any system update that is not currently downloading, downloaded, or failed should *already* be showing a “Download” button. That is true whether it would download automatically next time you are on Wi-Fi or not. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#presenting-individual> That button already exists in the code (plugins/system- update/PageComponent.qml line 444). If it isn’t appearing when it should, fix that bug, don’t add some extra “Download Now” button that would end up comically duplicating the “Download” button when someone accidentally fixes the bug later. (“Download” “Download Now” “Download Right Now I Really Mean It”)
Meanwhile, the underlying problem here probably would be easier to debug if the Updates screen itself reported download errors as designed, which is bug 1215901 (content) and bug 1282499 (presentation). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to system-image in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1508081 Title: Fails to receive OTA updates Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in Ubuntu system image: In Progress Status in system-image package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-download-manager package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Ubuntu Touch 15.04 (r23) [mako] Issue: Phone appears to fail to receive OTA updates. Previously, I jumped from (r15) to (r23) due to missing OTA updates. Currently, I see (r24) appears to be released on 2015 Oct 16. Expected behavior: System Settings > System > Updates (or System Settings > About this phone > Check for updates) reveals new image that I can release and download. Actual behavior: Checking for updates... > Software is up to date See the comment regarding similar issues for large app installs. It seems if anything interrupts the transfer or if the connection is somewhat slow the download performance degenerates then times out.
