<alyana> hi everyone is this a channel to ask a question?
<Akuli> yes
<alyana> oh good thanks, maybe someone could answer me that. I have
installed ubuntu-mate 16.04.1, and in the application where to
determine how often it should look for updates and security updates,
I did set to download and install security updates immediately. Now
after reopening that, this option is blank and not selectable anymore.
Is that a bug or intended or...?
<alyana> I can still set how often it should look for other updates, and
when to notify. But the drop down box in the middle, about the
security updates, is greyed out
<Akuli> i just remove the updater when i`'`m done installing ubuntu,
and i update with the terminal :)
<alyana> oh I see, when you update with the terminal, does that
include all the available updates then, no matter what type of update
it is (security, application, whatever...) ?
* kw21 ([email protected]) has joined #ubuntu-mate
<Akuli> yes, everything.
<Akuli> first i run sudo aptitude update to refresh my package lists, then
sudo aptitude upgrade to actually download and install the updates
<alyana> ok thank you. I will do that too then. I just wondered why I
could not change the settings anymore in that dropdown box. Any
other option in there is working well, also in the other tabs everything
looks ok. Just under "Updates" the option about the security updates is
blank and grey, and if something like that appears, I just want to know
why.
<Akuli> that sounds indeed weird
<Akuli> then again, thats why i like the terminal :) it lets me control my
system more directly
<alyana> yes, I am starting to use the terminal more and more often as
well... however disappearing options like that make me nervous :) I
could set it once. then I closed the application. Everything seems fine.
Reopening it, gives that behaviour. I have veryfied that on two different
machines now.
<alyana> and I did that directly after a fresh install
<alyana> maybe that application 'application & updates' itself needs an
update :) This has not happened on any other distro I have tried out
I reproduced:
Anyone know how to fix it?
Cheers
