I read the posts, but I'm quite unfamiliar with Windows, but from what I
remember and I see at work where I have to use it, the last thing we should do
is mimic that sorry thing of an os...
The problem with opening update-manager on another desktop is, that the
"checking" progressbars sti
Based on some of the comments, looks like some people might be quite interested
in what the updater is
doing, especially people who'd like to disconnect the network as soon as the
downloads are done, or if you'd
like to restart any of the programs.
I propose this: Add check box(es) in the updat
As a side note, there's a pretty simple trick to not have update-manager
steal your focus: just open it on a separate virtual desktop, and it's
out of the way for good. Still good to prevent it to open successive
windows if we can get the progress bar in the main window, but in the
meantime that mi
@Paul: the description of the bug clearly states:
"In WIndows for instance, it asks you if you want to install new updates and
then the updater moves to the system tray and stays out of my way very
efficiently. Once the updates are installed I get a small popup baloon telling
me that everything
I think some you still don't understand the issue here...
It's not about showing a progressbar or anything, it's about the current
behaviour of update-manager's windows. They keep popping up in front of the
active window without needing any attention. And after finishing, there is no
hint that i
I'm in the habit to send the progress window to the background. So far
so good. But when I have preview in compiz enabled, it shows the main
windiws (without the progress bar), so I cannot see what the actual
progress is through the preview window. The solution can have two
directions: solve the co
Hopefully we keep the old behavior, at least as an option. I'd hate it
if it started behaving like in Windows, and hid me information I want to
see.
I actually want to know when it's finished downloading (and if not yet
how long it's going to take) so I can close the connection when I'm on

Dave, I agree with Steve and it is not exactly a duplicate. Here's why:
Once the update manager has been instructed to "install updates", it almost all
the
time does its job without requiring the users inputs at all. So I dont see any
point
in having a separate window dedicated to update manage
Steve, is this a duplicate of bug #67476? If so, can you please mark it
as such?

The current behaviour is that, when I have update-manager opened, and
Firefox opened over it, update-manager's pop-ups with progress bars
appear over the Firefox window, which usually forces me to refocus the
Firefox window (it happens when downloading the packages, then when
installing, afair).

Personally, I like the way update-manager works... if you don't want to
watch the progress, the dialog can easily be placed in the background,
so no problem.
Perhaps making a configurable option somewhere to default minimize
update-manager, for users who are particularly offended by the sight of

Steve, can you explain more? You don't want to progress bars to display
while you are doing updates because you usually put the update window in
the background? Why do you care what is displayed inside the window in
that case? It doesn't sound like a "serious usability drawback" to show
a progress
This bug is a serious usability drawback and has been here for over a
year. The fix is yet easy : just pop-up the new windows without focus,
just above the update-manager window. I'm taking upon myself to link it
to One Hundred Paper Cuts.
