Search option in Update Manager

  • 772

I rarely use Update manager and when ever I use it, I don't update everything, just a few programs which I use more frequently.

For selecting a update of a program I have to scroll through a huge list of updates.

Is there any option for searching for a specific update(s)?

updates update-manager search 11.10

  1. For example, you just want to update firefox out of all other updates. Then just type in terminal:

    sudo apt-get install firefox

    It will install only firefox update, leaving the others.
