On my dedicated Freedombox (Pioneer Edition) on version 23.4, the checkbox is unchecked when the page refreshes with the green "Automatic upgrades disabled" message. I think the checkbox is set based on the contents of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades. With the box checked I see a value of "1", and with the box unchecked a value of "0". Could something be interfering with plinth updating this file on your system? This is what I see in the file with updates enabled (checkbox checked): zeppo@freedombox:~$ sudo cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1"; _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
