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. ** Affects: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- User expected to click an icon outside the notifier balloon https://launchpad.net/bugs/84691 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
