Maybe registration is temporarily down. Do you get different results with the "Get in touch" option?

This update manager is developed as an outside project to LL by Ralphy. While you're welcome to post about it here it may be faster to go directly to the source. Here's a link to Ralphy's forum and another one to the update manager directly. :)

Weirdness when I try to register for Ralphy's site. It puts up a picture of Grumpy Cat (looking as cute as ever) but calls me a cat abuser. Really?

I was the one who suggested the installation of the MintUpdate system from Linux Mint into LinuxLite. As far as I'm concerned it works great. It's nice to see the icon in the panel and to know immediately whether or not I have updates.


A suggested tweak or two to the tool:
1) When it does the log of updates being applied, it closes that window immediately upon finishing (so you don't get to see the results of the update. MintUpdate has an option to close the window, if that option is selected (that should be the default, good enough for most people). If it's unchecked, then it remains open and a 'Close' button is made available. This way one can review the changes applied and the messages from the upgrade process before closing the process.
2) Please add a 'maximize' button on the top of window tool bar so it can be resized to a full screen (hard to see the scrolling text in such a small window.
