Public bug reported: I just happened to see that Software Updater popped up with an actually empty window: 1. nothing in "install or remove" 2. obviously no details for changes/descriptions
But at the same time it says "26.3 MB will be downloaded" I'll attach a screenshot of that to show what I mean. At the same time there are upgradable packages: $ apt list --upgradable Listing... Done apturl/bionic-updates 0.5.2ubuntu14.2 amd64 [upgradable from: 0.5.2ubuntu14] apturl-common/bionic-updates 0.5.2ubuntu14.2 amd64 [upgradable from: 0.5.2ubuntu14] flashplugin-installer/bionic-updates,bionic-security 31.0.0.122ubuntu0.18.04.1 amd64 [upgradable from: 31.0.0.108ubuntu0.18.04.1] gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-4.0/bionic-updates,bionic-security 2.22.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 amd64 [upgradable from: 2.22.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1] [...] And that matches the 26.3MB $ sudo apt upgrade [...] 22 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 26,3 MB of archives. I can restart it to get the same symptom, done in console one indicator of a problem is: $ /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/update-manager --no-update --no-focus-on-map Failed to connect to https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts. Check your Internet connection or proxy settings Also https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-lts is reachable for me. But even if it would be not reachable, why then "26.3MB will be downloaded" - it seems to know some things? I'd either expect a user visible error (UI) or listing the packages apt knows about to upgrade.
