Thank you for responding so quickly. I have updated the description of your suggestion in order to clarify the idea for the developers. If my description is wrong in any way from what you are suggesting, please feel free to alter as you see fit. I will see about getting this bug marked 'Wishlist' and passed on to the developers.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: update-manager - The update-manger brings up itself at start time (or shortly after the - start), but at this time some startup-applications are running and it is - a bad time for me (especially at work). It will be fine for others, so - let this. + The Update Manager, by default, alerts me of updates when I first login. + However, this is usually not a good time for me to update my system. + Unfortunately, by the time I am shutting down my computer or logging + out, I have forgotten to apply the updates. It would be great if the + Update Manager could have a setting (possibly on by default) that would + cause it to remind a user that there are updates available when the + person goes to either logout or shutdown. This notification could be + presented with a timer, like is present in 9.10 when shutting down, so + that if there is no response within 60 seconds, the computer would + logout/shutdown. If a user were to select to update their system at this + time, Update Manager could apply the updates, then logout/shutdown the + computer. - Additionally the update manager should remind the user if he/she logs- - out or shuts-down, because at this time all applications are closed - - may be I am waiting, because the backup is runnung, so it is a good time - for me. - - So please notify the user about available updates at logout/shutdown. - - ProblemType: Bug - Architecture: i386 - Date: Fri Feb 5 09:49:49 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 - Package: update-manager 1:0.126.9 - PackageArchitecture: all - ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=de_AT.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-17.54-generic - SourcePackage: update-manager - Uname: Linux 2.6.31-17-generic i686 -- Notify outstanding updates at logout/shutdown https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/517449 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
