[ubuntu] Setting automatic updates

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. I am new at Ubuntu. The system has given me a message that says "you must check updates manually" ... "You can configure this behavior in Software Sources on the Updates tab". But I can't find Software Sources. I tried Ubuntu Software Center but that doesn't have an Updates tab or anything I can see relating to automatic updates. Does anyone know how to setup automatic updates? (Hardware)

Hi,

Given 10.3 has just been discontinued, there won't be any more updates. But I can't find how to disable automatic updates... According to the manual, the applet config should offer an "automatically start updater on login" checkbox, but mine doesn't (Gnome).

I couldn't find in Yast either.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I changed the default settings in the "Software Sources". I changed the "download from" from the default mirror servers to servers for the US.

Automatic updates 2 years 47 weeks ago

I am planning to switch from Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 to Opensuse 11.3. I wish to know whether Opensuse 11.3 also has automatic updates which checks for new updates released and also keeps a track of newer version releases of the distro.
