** Description changed: - Binary package hint: update-manager - The Update Manager program has no branding to say that it's legit. There's not even an Ubuntu logo. My advisor called me in the other day to ask "What is this program? Why did it pop up? I thought Linux didn't have viruses." After explaining that it was legit, he told me his reasoning: there was little in the help he could /quickly/ find referencing this "Update Manager", and there was no branding or logo, or any helpful-to-his- level-of-skill explanation. He's no dummy, just a born-and-bred Windows user until about 2 months ago. - The Update Manager needs some "user-friendlification", including some - sort of branding, and perhaps a help button. - - ProblemType: Bug - Architecture: amd64 - Date: Wed Jan 20 11:56:35 2010 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) - NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia - Package: update-manager 1:0.126.9 - PackageArchitecture: all - ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-16.53-generic - SourcePackage: update-manager - Uname: Linux 2.6.31-16-generic x86_64 + <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#alert>
