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

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Matthew Brush, your patch is a first step, though re-adding the close
button would just increase inconsistency between Compiz/Unity 7 (where
dialogs can have close buttons) and Unity 8 (where none will).

More importantly, in its current state the patch contains a security
vulnerability: if someone chooses "Restart Later" the system is left in
an insecure state indefinitely, dependent on the user remembering that
they had been told -- hours, days, or weeks ago -- that they needed to
restart. Even if they reopened Software Updater manually it wouldn't
tell them. That's why I outlined five steps to fixing this bug, of which
your patch is #2.

Title:
  No close option, only restart

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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."
