[ubuntu-uk] update manager
I am just trying to find my way around 11.10 and have noticed that there appears to be an option missing, the option to have updates downloaded in the background. Thus, when I respond to the cue that there are updates available I have to wait for them to be downloaded before they can be installed. Have I missed something?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] update manager
It may have been a deliberate change. For example if a background upgrade was being applied to pulseaudio and firefox, for the duration of the upgrade to that app you would be unable to use it at all - firefox goes haywire part way through an update Is there anything in the release notes about it?

[ubuntu-uk] update manager
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and, today, ran Update Manager. The usual window appeared with a list of updates and I selected install updates. I entered my password and a small window appeared which,amongst other things, said what looked like Downloaded 0 B of 1 B. After a little while, another window appeared and I was asked to insert a CD/DVD'Ubuntu 11.10_Oneiric Ocelot_-Release i386 (20111012)' and given the choice to Cancel or Continue. As I have no idea what this is all about I chose Cancel and the window for Update Manager re-appeared with the list of packages to be installed and any attempt to install updates starts the cycle over again. Could someone please tell me what I need to do to be able to install the updates.

[ubuntu-uk] Update manager showing base files
