Public bug reported: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS is on my spare laptop, so I hadn't used the OS in about two weeks, which is when I had last updated it. I do not use the update feature that requires logging in when I'm in an insecure environment for password use. I was about to use the laptop again, so I checked for updates and Ubuntu said there was nothing new. I put it to sleep and woke it about 30-60 minutes later, somewhere else, where my session time could be short. When I logged into a WiFi network, a dialog said there are updates and asked if I want them now.
What I expect: If there is an update at a Ubuntu server or mirror, Ubuntu will say so when asked, not only half an hour later. Of course, it's possible that when I check there is no update but if I check half an hour later there will be an update. That's a different situation and completely acceptable. But if telling me that there's an update will take half an hour, tell me that it'll take a while, but don't tell me right away that there's nothing. This event happened in late May. I saw the list of packages but don't know which one applies. No crash occurred on my platform. The dialog from ubuntu-bug had nothing relevant to an update (I understand upgrade is different), so I selected Other, resulting in nothing informative. ubuntu-bug --help didn't lead to an answer, either. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1832952 Title: updates should be listed immediately after checking To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1832952/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
