Alan is correct that this button simply checks for a new version of the installer software itself. The purpose of this is to give us a bit of a get-out in case there are serious installer problems we don't catch before release: we can publish them to lucid-updates and tell affected users to press that button, which is rather more straightforward than telling them to run a bunch of cryptic commands in a terminal.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to present this better? -- Not clear what "update this installer" will do https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496908 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
