How do I get rid of the "The Software on this Computer is up to date" message after updates?

  • 772

I'm a bit annoyed by the Update Manager. Since I upgraded from 12.04 I get this message, after installing updates:

Message after Updates were installed successfully

I Find it utterly useless. It just another thing that pops in my face. If an update failed I get an error message regardless. It's interface 101 that you don't need a message when everything went well. How do I get rid of it or file a complaint so that it will not be included in future versions?

I know this is a minor thing but for some reason it really annoys me.

Update: Launchpad Bug

  1. You can disable automatic software update check by setting "Automatically check for update" to never in the drop-down in the updates tab of Software and update settings. Here is the full guide: https://www.garron.me/en/linux/turn-off-stop-ubuntu-automatic-update.html

    Then when you want to update your packages use a command.

    sudo apt update && sudo apt -y dist-upgrade

    You can even use an alias to make things easier. Below is what I'm using in my .bashrc file.

    alias aptupgrade="sudo apt update && sudo apt -y dist-upgrade"
