The exact text is "Click on the notification icon to show the available updates." Removing the icon from the bubble itself might help, but the text would still expect people to (a) know what an "icon" is and (b) realize that, despite appearances, the orange-and-white blob is an icon.
I'm going to be boring here and suggest the same solution I've been suggesting since 2005: abolish the icon and bubble, and instead open the updates window directly. That way the updates would be easier to understand and require fewer clicks to install. <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-August/009960.html> <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2006-March/000401.html> <https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2007-January/000129.html> ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- "click the icon" instruction dangerously confusing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175166 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
