I have installed many computers with lubuntu 20.04 for users on our network and I added for them nonadministrative user called "user". Very often window with new updates "Update Notifier" will pop up. Is there any way how to set updates to install them automatically or set the window to pop up just once a day? They cant install it with their account - they dont have sudo rights.

Edit: Answer:

Possibly turn off updates in GUI (testing it now) and:

sudo apt-get install unattended-upgrades sudo dpkg-reconfigure unattended-upgrades

in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic if not, set APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages 0 to 1, set APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval 0 to something in days

in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades uncomment ${distro_id}:${distro_codename}-updates

    Found in the Lubuntu manual here - https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/4/4.3/software_sources.html (I agree with @ParsaMousavi ) – guiverc Jun 19 '20 at 13:03
  • @guiverc There isnt any option to install all updates automatically mentioned in manual, only security which I have already checked. It doesnt help with window poping up every 5minutes :/ – SheldonCopper Jun 22 '20 at 05:34
  • I would jump to terminal & ensure system is fully upgraded (ie. sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade noting the output to ensure all upgrades have been applied). If a package is held (apt-mark hold or equiv.) then being constantly nagged could be expected..or it could be something from a 3rd party source, but I'd expect those commands to provide a clue.. You could ask on https://discourse.lubuntu.me/ as it maybe seen by HMollerCl who I think wrote the Update Notifier too (if I've remembered incorrectly the devs will be there anyway) – guiverc Jun 22 '20 at 05:58
  • @guiverc Everything is ok - there are updates to install, just not security. – SheldonCopper Jun 22 '20 at 06:07
