2012-08-16 18:43:03 Matthew Paul Thomas description I understand the reason for the new behavior to fix bug 289404 and I've read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates - I can live with the software-updater trying to update before starting, but currently 1. A click on the Cancel button during the software updater's automatic starts check for updates closes the Software Updater completely instead of starting it. (maybe the user had just run an update or just wants to check something in the software updater, but now he is forced to wait until all updates have finished - that feels like a big regression) 2. If any of the repository information fails to download the users only choice is to again close the window (see attached screenshot), which then closes the software-updater instead of opening it and ignoring those failed downloads (Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.) This means currently there is no way of opening the software-updater, without finishing a successful update run before.
