I want to add an additional point: Not all computers are connected to the internet all the time. Thus, imagine someone that connects to internet, the system finds out that there are updates available, and then the internet conection is closed for, lets say 1 month. What will this user experience during this month? Daily popups? Constant messages in the desktop? This is not an unusual scenario in third world countries, I must say. The previous notification system was totally acceptable in this case.
Of course it is obvious that I was completely satisfied with the previous way update notifications were managed. For me, as for others, the result of the new update notification system is that I do less updates. That's because when the popup commes out, I instantly close it because I'm doing something else. Second because, when I am not doing something else, it does not necessarily appears, and I don't remember updating. -- [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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
