2>the food analogy was because u had proposed options to choose the daily display of updates but this option is not available. when will that option be available? 3>also, looks like the App Centre idea has been around since 2005, any ideas when that might be implemented? -- [Jaunty] Update Notifier icon would provide useful status information https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332945 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
