Bug Description

Lubuntu 20.04

Update notifier keeps interrupting every hour or two by appearing on top of work.

Nobody in their right mind would do this intentionally so it must be a bug.

Button to switch to manual update or much less frequent updates is missing.

The irritatingly disruptive update notifier has made Lubuntu unusable for me.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Bug reporting is about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

(I know I've answered a question on this matter at least once; ask ubuntu most likely, so if you've not already asked it, someone has and I'd suggest looking up how to change the time to something you prefer).

Changed in lubuntu-meta (Ubuntu):

It'll outline how to change the value.
