Tested from yakkety-proposed scott@scott-ASUS-M2N68-AM-PLUS:~$ update-manager --version update-manager: version 1:16.10.8
When "details" is clicked when the files are being downloaded, even if maximized, one gets less than one line displayed (I think it's about 1/2 a line!). When the install is being done, one line is displayed, then two, then three, etc. until maybe half the screen height is being used when maximized. I tried to screenshot the install screen before it reached its maximum height, as it looks quite messy until it reaches it, but I was too slow. The white-on-black terminal lines don't reach all the way across the window until the full height is reached, and it scrolls the shorter lines off the top of the terminal screen. If it blanked the screen with the background color first for the full width/height of the display terminal, it would look much better (although as I say, it does not use all of the window height provided) One other thing I noted: A new kernel was being installed, and despite my OS being 64-bit, I noted a reference to GRUB being built (?) for i386, so I tried to select/cut/paste the relevent part of the output before update-manager finished its work. I couldn't. I could make the selection, but right-clicking did not generate the usual copy/select-all options, so I tried to cntrl-C, and paste into leafpad. No-Go. The terminal apparently cannot do cut-n-paste. (Nor can one apparently request the window stay open when the install is complete, as I believe both synaptic and gdebi do). I enclose (hopefully) two screenshots. 1. download detail window with less than one line height 2. install detail window not utilizing full maximized window height ------------------------------------------- System details same as my (duplicate) bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1637909 ** Attachment added: "Maximized detail window during downloading." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1623856/+attachment/4772756/+files/UpdateManager_DownloadWindow.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1623856 Title: Scrolled Windows in update-manager are too small to read To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptdaemon/+bug/1623856/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
