My recollection of the update manager is that you must click the little expando-triangle to see details of what will be downloaded and updated.
So long as your apt sources are properly configured, all packages downloaded and installed are signed for authenticity. The keys that are used for validating the packages can be found via "apt-key list". This is what makes it safe to download packages from mirror sites not operated by Ubuntu. (Though mirrors that do not update frequently may pose other problems, malware, viruses, and man-in-the-middle attackers corrupting packages in transit should not be among them.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1217843 Title: Software Updater won't display updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1217843/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
