Hi [member=2]Jerry[/member] I have observed this behaviour myself but because I generally update via the terminal I have ignored it.
Since others have reported this I've done some tests to try and find the problem.
Computer Dell Inspiron M5040
Processor AMD E-450 APU with Radeon™ HD Graphics
Memory 3632MB (635MB used)
Machine Type Portable
Operating System Linux Lite 4.4
Starting with a clean Linux Lite install on first boot I created a restore point using Timeshift before doing anything.
From the Welcome dialog I click on the updates and enter my password, then:
Observations:
progress dialog for updating sources appears and is then replaced with available updates list dialog.
clicking on updates button starts process
downloading updates dialog appears briefly before disappearing.
there is no on screen indication of anything happening, in fact it is only the "hdd activity led" on the front of the laptop that indicates something is going on.
the next dialog to appear is the "updating boot configuration, Please wait ....." and then updates completed dialog and option to view the updates log.
After doing a system restore with Timeshift I changed lite-updates with the one posted by Jerry using yad, and repeated the above with the exact same observations.
I did a system restore once more and did one more test. I started lite-updates from the terminal. The exact same thing happened as per the dialogs, but the terminal showed an error:
The awk message came up when the downloading dialog disappeared.
The GTK message appeared when the updating boot configuration dialog appeared followed by the file does not exist and then the updates completed dialog.
I hope this helps in finding the problem.
