It seems the update counts generally may not be populated correctly on initial login.
Under 19.04 I'm currently seeing these counts on initial login... 52 updates can be installed immediately. 0 of these updates are security updates. ...but then immediately after login... sudo cat /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available 66 updates can be installed immediately. 8 of these updates are security updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1842159 Title: Please suggest running apt update & apt upgrade in MOTD when list of available packages is old To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1842159/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
