Not sure what is up with that. I assume you are using 14.04? This is not
unique to UbuntuStudio, It seems to happen with Kubuntu as well.I would
think what triggers it is the update. Yup just confirmed that. I think
this is new behavior. (It is probably considered an improvement :) )
I think the theory is that Ubuntu (meaning all the Ubuntu flavours) "is a
GUI based distro and so what on earth would someone be using apt-get for
anyway?"
So if you normally do updating by hand from CLI maybe try going to
settings -> session and startup -> Application Autostart and remove the
check from "Update Notifier". There is an anacron task that runs once a
day that does the update part, so I think the notifier just looks to see
if anything was found.
WRT sw updater, while it does still show the same sw for upgrade, running
the Install option does correctly realize that the sw has already been
installed and comes back with the system up to date screen in a few
seconds.
I don't know if this is a bug or not, If so it will not get fixed here,
but in the update notifier project. So you can do:
ubuntu-bug update-notifier
from the command line if you wish to file a bug report. If you post the
bug number here, I will confirm it. I don't see it listed... but then I am
not the best person when it comes to searchs :)
