[Bug 1738517] Re: Update-manager does not expand details on progress on 17.10 & 18.04

[Fredrik Jacobsson]

Ah yes, that resize display area bug. The reason why you get just one
line of terminal output.

Here, this bug has been in effect for several releases now. (Ubuntu with
Gnome Flashback)


Workaround to get some terminal output:

Disable automatic downloads of updated files. The key here is that you
need to show details on progress during the download phase, otherwise
you'll get the "one-liner".

When having terminal output, try resize the window. It will resize down
but terminal output will never resize up, adding more lines. Resizing
sideways still works.
