Ubuntu
update-manager package

update manager terminal always closes

Asked by Christopher Barry

regardless of the checkbox setting in update manager's terminal, the terminal always closes after the updates have completed.

I like to review the terminal output before closing the terminal, and this bug prevents this.

press CTRL+ALT+T and run:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade; sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade

You can then review the output.

that does not solve the bug mentioned in the question (whch has been turned into a bug report now).
the built-in terminal has a checkbox to not close after update, but the terminal dialog ignores the setting.

no. at least not for 10.04 which I'm still using. be interested to know if later releases have addressed this bug.

I've stopped using it, and just use the cli.

Can you help with this problem?
