Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-notifier
Release: Dapper
Steps to reproduce:
1) Turn on automatic updates.
2) Wait for updates to become available.
Actual results:
A balloon pops up above the Panel (assuming that the Panel is at the bottom of
the screen). The balloon says in its main text that updates are available
(which is fine). The supplementary text tells the user to click the notifier
icon (I am not sure what the English terminology is. I used the Finnish
localization). The only thing in the balloon that can be construed to be an
icon or a button is the [X] button at top right. A non-expert user (not me but
a person whose Ubuntu use I support) locates the only button and clicks it.
(This happens every time until I explain how the balloon works. The designer of
the balloon wanted to user to click the updater icon in the Panel outside the
balloon.) Updates don't get installed and the system stays less secure.
Expected results:
Expected the balloon to state in its main text that updates are available. The
balloon should not need supplementary text and should not have an [X] button at
all. Instead, below the main text the balloon should have two buttons (looking
like dialog buttons but adapted to the balloon color) with the labels "Later"
and "Install".
Additional information:
As precedent, balloons shown by the Microsoft Office Assistant have dialog-like
buttons inside the balloon.
