Matthew Paul Thomas, I don't know about Unity, I've never used it (using XFCE here), but it's kind of not a close button, more like a "dismiss" button, if that makes anyone feel better. All dialogs should have a way to close them without doing anything, always, even if it's like "Your house is on fire, do you want me to email the fire department?", it should still have a "No thanks" button or at the very least a window manager close button.
But anyways, the patch was just a quick hack I made in 3 minutes because I wanted to be able to close this dialog and with XFCE there's no way to close it from the GUI otherwise, but if you run update-manager again it shows the same nag dialog about restarting FWIW, it's how I tested the patch. It seems like pretty OK behaviour considering I've already been told I need to restart once and I willingly chose not to do so. Of course the previous behaviour before it was decided to take the user's computer hostage was probably better, but such is progress on the Linux desktop lately; one step forward, two steps back. Feel free to ignore the patch and/or come up with some other better way that doesn't take my computer hostage, I'll gladly stop patching random Python scripts on my system :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1033226 Title: No close option, only restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1033226/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
