I since changed both categories of updates ("security" and "other") to
"Display Immediately", and from then (2013-11-24) until now 2013-12-14
Update Manager has never popped up to offer to inform me of updates to
install.
Question: If in the "Software & Updates" window (either directly from
Lubuntu's Preferences menu or from Synaptic), "Automatically check for updates"
is set to "Daily", when, exactly, does it check?
Upon booting? Then it should have checked many times from then until now...
Were it set to check at 11:59:59 pm, then it would never check, as I am not up
at midnight.
[Here's a weird thing... I just brought up Synaptic, and while the Preferences
"Software & Updates" window shows "Display Immediately" for both categories of
updates ("security" and "other"), Synaptic had "Display Weekly" for "Other". I
assumed that both places accessed the same program and data - this implies that
there are two places that the information is being stored. Probably not a good
idea.
This does NOT explain my problem, however, as it has been several weeks since I
updated, and still nothing reported from UpdateManager.]
I have noticed that this is ultimately a Gnome app, so I will look and
see if there is a bug there for this, and add to that, or enter a new
one...
