Greetings,
I have two linux lite machines one running 3.8 and one on 4.0. I've noticed that they behave differently when using the update GUI which I habitually run on first power up of the day from the 'Welcome to Linux Lite' pop up. Both machines proceed similarly through the first few clicks.
After entering the password, both machines show the 'Updating Software Sources' window which shows the 'get' activity and then display the 'Updates Available' list window.
After selecting 'update now' at this point the behaviour differs.
The 3.8 machine displays 'Downloading - please wait' window with a progress bar.
This switches to an 'Installing - please wait' window with an activity indicator.
Finally, the 'Completed - success' window appears with the option to view the log.
On the 4.0 machine, if I watch carefully, the 'Downloading - please wait' window appears but it self clears very quickly (blink and you'd miss it).
This is the case even when there is a significant download e.g. a new version of Firefox.
I've not seen an 'installing' window and nothing appears to be happening until the 'updates completed successfully' window pops up.
I've never re-booted during the update but at least once (before I got used to it) I restarted the update process on the 4.0 machine during the 'silent' downloading/installing phase because I'd got confused what was happening.
The only other difference I've noticed is that at the 'enter password' window, 3.8 says the application is /usr/scripts/updates-gui and 4.0 says the application is /usr/bin/lite-updates.
