That is a great idea.  One less thing to manually explain.

I wish it behaved more like Linux Mint did it.  :)

It placed an icon in the desktop bar at the bottom of the screen. if there were no updates, it would display an icon with a check mark in it. If there were updates, the icon had an exclamation point in it. And it should remain sticky and always viewable.

@humdinger70 I've pushed mintupdate-lite to my server.



Have fun!

Nothing important. I was just agreeing with torredale about the kernel updating was what I posted before. The forum was not cooperating   :(

If I put type the at symbol, I get the error message.

I'd like to see what you had in reply #17 above. But I'm not going to insist on it.

Never mind. I keep getting this message:

Forbidden You don't have permission to access /forums/linux-lite-software-development/ on this server.
 
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Thanks Jerry and Ralphy for keeping the update system as it is.

@Coastie,

For the record, kernel security updates do come with the regular updates in the 3.x series.

... We have a point and click option that works, and is easy to use without any user interaction that could end up in bad decisions being made.

Thanks, @Jerry , for keeping it simple! The mint update system is confusing to me. I rather trust you and whoever else decides what update are needed. I don't even want to mess with kernel updates until they come with the regular updates.

@torreydale, what @Jerry said  :D

Linux Lite has a simple point and click option that works. That's what goes in our distro and that's what our guidelines requires. I'm doing this on my spare time as a hobby and not because we expect to replace our own solution. Nothing to worry about :)

We're not porting Mint Updates, period. This is something Ralphy chooses to do in his spare time, on his own website.

I wish it behaved more like Linux Mint did it.  :)

It placed an icon in the desktop bar at the bottom of the screen. if there were no updates, it would display an icon with a check mark in it. If there were updates, the icon had an exclamation point in it. And it should remain sticky and always viewable.

I have some mixed emotions about this.  When I was newer to Linux, Mint confused me on the updates issue.  I had no idea what I should select or not select to update.  The numbering system was offputting, etc.  Coming from Windows, I was just used to updating everything.  To know what library (or in the case of Windows, what DLL) to update or ignore was too much for me.  I wouldn't expect non-techie friends or family to know either.  It's always been easier to just tell them to be consistent with running the Install Updates utility.  And now that the 3.x series installs security updates to the kernel, I only have to add that they remove the old kernels every month or so using Lite Tweaks.  Training them on update levels 1-5 is going to be a turnoff for them and me.  If we go this route to appease those already familiar with Linux Mint, I say it should remain the advanced option, and the default option remain what we have now.

@humdinger70 how about something like this?  :)























I'm gonna finish it up n my spare time and then I'll share it in my blog so that those interested in having an Update Manager Center can get it.
