Dave, I agree with Steve and it is not exactly a duplicate. Here's why: Once the update manager has been instructed to "install updates", it almost all the time does its job without requiring the users inputs at all. So I dont see any point in having a separate window dedicated to update manager which keeps blinking when it switches from downloading to installing files. An unobtrusive notification icon should work well.
Also, once it is done successfully installing all updates, the only available buttons for a user to push are "check for updates" and "close". If the system has just finished updates, why would a user want to immediately check for more updates? If so, why does it sit around waiting for me to just click the close button (there is nothing else a user can do with that window)? What I'm suggesting is once the user has clicked the "install updates" button, minimize update managers to the notif area and if everything goes well, display a notif bubble for a coupla seconds. Bother the user only if something has not gone right with the updates. -- ubuntu incorrectly believes I enjoy staring at progress bars https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200127 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
