[Bug 1033226] Re: No close option, only restart

[Fjodor]

To be perfectly honest, in order to be able to defend this UX-wise
atrocity, I think the persons responsible have a moral duty to explain
in great detail to the developers and maintainers of every single other
package manager - especially apt and dpkg - why they also need to
implement this craziness themselves.

Furthermore, they need to make their argument in public, and when the
inevitable (and justified) ridicule has died down, they need to be
called to order and fix this, in order for update-manager to, at a
minimum, make a giant leap forward in order to at least be on par with
windows (which allows "restart later" where applicable), if they aren't
going to aim for anything approaching the usual, better, UX of Linux
proper...

If the continuing failure to fix this issue doesn't, failure to justify
the need in excruciating and convincing detail, would, to my mind,
justify virtual (and argumentatorial) torches and pitch forks.

Feel free to quote me for this at any given time!

Title:
  No close option, only restart

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The latest updates to "software updater" in 12.10 has only given one
  option in the pop up after installing updates and that is to restart,
  where is my restart later or close option?

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#Launching_automatically>:
  "Software Updater should launch automatically ... when ... security
  updates require a restart to finish installing, and it has been at
  least 24 hours since you were told about this; or ... non-security
  updates require a restart to finish installing, and the “When there
  are other updates” interval has passed since Software Updater was last
  open (either automatically or manually)."

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#restart>: "If no updates are
  installable, but a restart is required to finish installing previous
  updates, a “Software Updater” alert should appear, with text “This
  computer needs to restart to finish installing updates”, and
  “Settings…”, “Restart Later” and “Restart Now…” buttons."

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#alert>: "If appropriate, the
  alert should have secondary text: “The computer also needs to restart
  to finish installing previous updates.”"

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#After_installing>: "After
  installing, Software Updater should behave as if it has just finished
  a manual check for updates ... whether it be showing updates that
  remain uninstallable, showing that a restart is required, showing both
  at once, or showing that everything is up to date."
