How to disable notification of available updates

[WWDERW]

That's pretty much where I disable them as well, hide them in the System Tray. While I do the updates, I tend to wait a couple of days before I deploy them. Just in case there are any bugs or other issues that may not be quite stable just yet.

Well, I'm on Neon Unstable, so it would be on pretty much constantly

But even on K18 it came on a bit too often for my tastes.
I'm not exactly running essential services that would jeopardise global stability if breached...

I just got me an alias upd='sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y', I run it every two or three days when I feel like letting it run and doing something else.

O.K.

I'm not sure why someone would not want to know that updates are available, but if that works, then ... O.K.

When the available updates icon shows up in the tray, I may not act on it right away. But certainly before the end of my day, I'll go into a konsole and enter the usual "sudo apt update followed by full-upgrade". So, for me it's informative and useful and not at all annoying - and keeps my system more secure than if I ignore it.

To each his own!

Actually, neither got rid of the panel icon for me, on K18, so I tried again on Neon, and it didn't either.
What worked was disabling them in the panel.

Bottom right corner (for me), right-click, Configure panel, hover over the Show hidden icons arrow, get the System Tray options.



See where the cursor is.

You can 'hide' the updates icon on the system tray's settings, and you can also turn off the notification for Discover in System Settings:




Now, for some reason I can't recall how to disable the actual checking for updates , but a quick search should bring up a few threads, as it has been discussed before, in recent months.

Hi,
I disabled checking for updates in software sources but it doesn't work. Updates are checked automatically and I still get notifications on panel. How can I turn off checking for updates?
