I now believe this is a known issue, although I do not have a reference. When there is an update, packagekitd may begin downloading the updates to save time. This saves time when the superuser authorizes updates be downloaded and installed. Unfortunately, this doesn't work well for users like me who have low bandwidth service.
I now suspend packagekitd when I need to use what little download capacity I have, and resume packagekitd later. I also suspend it when the size of the updates is large. I try to resume it and begin the updates when I will be away from the computer for an hour or more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828239 Title: Discover does updates without permission To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/discover/+bug/1828239/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
