Updates

Favorites is at the top of the Menu...

Kirkx, thanks for this script as it enabled me to do updates on V2.2 Beta. It also raises a similar issue. Running the live ISO you see the welcome screen and "First run updates". This screen does does appear when booting a new installation. I loaded "Linux Lite Welcome" and it advises "Click on Menu, Favorites, Install Updates" but there are no Favorites on my menu. So I went to "Software and updates" and refreshed the sources; I had to delete the google source as it could not be found. I also set to auto update every 24 hours. So far it has not updated automatically and there is no button to "Update Now" which would be useful. When running your script it updated with 8Mb of new files.

I second this idea. Users should have a chance to review all update messages and take a screenshot of any reported errors.

As soon as I installed LL a few months ago I changed the application menu command to keep the update window open (then you can close it with File-Quit):

Code: [Select]

x-terminal-emulator --geometry=95x25 -t "Linux Lite Updates" -e "bash -c /usr/scripts/updates;bash"

For the record, the original command was:

Code: [Select]

x-terminal-emulator --geometry=95x25 -t "Linux Lite Updates" -e /usr/scripts/updates

I would like to see updates pause at the end of updates so you can review all the changes made to your system. I have modified the update script file last few lines to do just that so update does not terminate until you press the [Enter] key.

echo "Updates complete."
echo ""
read -p "Press [Enter] key to exit"
