For the 6 months that I had 7.10 installed, I was notified through Update Manager what seemed like every other day or so with updates.* I upgraded from 7.10 Desktop to 8.04 Desktop 5 days ago.* Since then, Update Manger has not notified me about any updates.* The install (which was typical) was clean & my machine has worked flawlessly ever since (in fact, the 8.04 desktop is a phenomenal OS).* I tried Update Manager manually and after checking, it didn't report any updates.* It did however report that my system was up-to-date.


I am just wondering if it is normal to go this long (5 days) without an update notification or maybe if something is wrong with my Update Manager.

Thanks,
Scott

If you enable some of the other groups or add additional repos, then you
might get more frequent changes. The default synaptic config doesn't
yield very many updates, especially so soon after initial release...

I wondered about this too but then I have since I upgraded, installed a couple
of apps which were not previously installed and it went out, got them and
installed them as usual so it MUST be properly connected to a repository,
right? I have had no updates shown me since the day of release.

I just got my first set of updates automatically tonight.* Life is good.

Thanks,
Scott
