My simple workaround which forces discover to work as expected: sudo apt-get install cron-apt sudo rm /etc/cron-apt/action.d/3-download sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/cron-apt /etc/cron.daily/cron-apt
It installs cron-apt package, removes default action: download of packages for upgrade and starts "apt-get update" automaticaly daily, more or less within one hour after session start. If there is something to upgrade you can see immediately after cron-apt "apt-get update" Software updates widget in the system bar. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1571417 Title: Kubuntu 16.04 update manager not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-discover/+bug/1571417/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
