Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-notifier
I'd like to propose a way of saving a couple of MB's on the avarage system. I noticed that when ubuntu starts, it also starts the update-notifier process, which presumably handles the finding of updates, and displaying of the update notifier icon in the gnome tray. I propose stopping the process when one of two conditions are met: 1) No updates found. 2) All updates run. I know that update manager checks for updates on more occasions then just system boot, so i'd like to also propose a connecting scheme like firefox uses for directing multiple processes into one. Eg, the system boots, finds updates, notifies the user, The user runs all the updates, update-notifier stops. Either a set time runs by and update-notifier gets started again trough cron. (to check for updates on the following day) Or, the user selects a new repository, and by doing this, also starts the update-notifier. The firefox like start scripts should make sure that just one update- notifier is running at any time. This is one of those little adjustments that saves memmory, and sets the bar a little lower for low-memmory systems. Its also pretty save to change, as on the avarage desktop, there's a reboot and thus a normale start for update-notifier every day anyway, ** Affects: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- stop update-notifier when updates have been run, or when no updates available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/102762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
