Ah yes, that resize display area bug. The reason why you get just one line of terminal output.
Here, this bug has been in effect for several releases now. (Ubuntu with Gnome Flashback) Workaround to get some terminal output: Disable automatic downloads of updated files. The key here is that you need to show details on progress during the download phase, otherwise you'll get the "one-liner". When having terminal output, try resize the window. It will resize down but terminal output will never resize up, adding more lines. Resizing sideways still works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738517 Title: Update-manager does not expand details on progress on 17.10 & 18.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1738517/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
