Title:
Two independent instances of Software & Updates
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release: 14.04
software-properties-gtk:
Installed: 0.92.37.2
What I expected to happen
A change in the settings of Software & Updates opened through the menu of
Synaptics Package Manager should be reflected when opening Software & Updates
by issuing software-properties-gtk in the terminal.
What actually happened
In Software & Updates opened through the menu of Synaptics Package Manager
(Settings -> Repositories), I opened the Updates tab and changed 'When there
are other updates:' from 'Display every two weeks' to 'Display immediately'. I
then closed the window. In the terminal I started Software & Updates by
executing software-properties-gtk. I went to the Updates tab and the setting
for 'When there are other updates:' was still set to 'Display every two weeks'.
Leaving this instance of Software & Updates open, I then opened another
instance of Software & Updates through the menu of Synaptics Package Manager.
Opening the Updates tab, the setting for 'When there are other updates:' was
indeed 'Display immediately'. This demonstrates that Ubuntu stores two
independent sets of settings for Software & Updates. However, the settings
through the menu of Synaptics are ignored by the system. This can confuse a
user who discovers Software & Updates through the Synaptics menu and relies on
it to customize updates.
I will include a screen shot of these two instances of Software &
Updates open side by side reflecting their divergent settings. Both
windows were opened and the Updates tab chosen. No menu items were
changed before taking the screen shot.
