Thx.

From that report I dont consider gnome software the best mechanism for updates. So i have now disabled updates via gnome software.

UB uses the software & updates menu option which displays updates when they become available or when manually run.

Not quite clear; have you disabled Synaptic? What is UB? _Software_ does not show software and updates reliably up till now for this happy camper; you might recall I advised it wasnt even searching for software reliably.

No! I have disabled the updates tab in gnome software

UB = Ubuntu Budgie

I just uninstall gnome software because synaptic and cli is all I need

> sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Elementary OS had their own software centre which actually made them a bit of money and worked well. This does not seem to be the goal of Budgie. _Software_ is pretty good visually, but unreliable under the bonnet todate.

Great, so you have replicated what I did, and Synaptic and Software are in sync?
