Today 2024-04-10 Thank you for acting on my review on 2023-09-5. Now when I change the font size to 12 for all aspects of the LM it also increased the font size in the update manager so I can read what is being installed on my box. The Linux Mint Team does a great job of keeping me and those who try it safe, in the know, functioning, private and free. HipHip Hurray!!!
I would give this a 5 if .... it didn't refresh the list of downloads automatically.. it automatically refreshes the list of updates for example, if you add an app to the "ignore all future updates for this package" (by clicking the right-click context menu option) and also after closing the "Preferences" window..
Had trouble with my original update manager, so uninstalled it here so I could re-install it. The re-install attempt returned a list of errors of files it couldn't access. (no longer supported?)
I had always to struggle with it because this application got stuck during "Calculating...", but now with Linux Mint 18.2 it works really fine. It needs 10 Minutes for calculation when I back up the whole "/" (of course without /media/backupdrive), but then it does it job, even without root privileges!
this app won't update anything until update itself, therefore "refresh button" don't do anything, and that is REALLY CONFUSING, you should make this clear by an warning or something, so ppl won't press refresh and cosider that this app IS NOT WORKING !!!!!
Just recently it has stopped appearing on my panel when closed. I have no idea what caused this but it's very annoying.
would very much like to see a setting where I can set the time when it checks for updates..
