System Upgrade?

[Qqmike]

In 22.04.4, Discover pops up with this:
[blue box with a check mark in it] System Upgrade (2 packages to upgrade, 65.2 MB)

What is that?
Never noticed such a thing before. Is that still remaining in 22.04? or would that take me into a more recent version of Kubuntu? Wonder why that blue (option) box is already checked?

No, there is no more recent version of Kubuntu LTS (yet).

You should get more details when you click on it AFAIK.

Screenshot?
Are you on the stock Plasma 5.24, or have you upgraded it via PPAs?

Wonder why that blue (option) box is already checked?

The box is always checked for updates



Have you turned on the Offline Updates feature via System Settings by any chance?
This it what updates look like when one has enabled this (this is not set as the default in 22.04):

And yes, the term "upgrade" is a poor choice here on KDE's part, but it does mention packages being upgraded below it.
(someone should file a bug report on it, but someone is supposed to be working )

What shows when you click on the entry, then "more information"?

or would that take me into a more recent version of Kubuntu?

No

Hmmm, you are right. Detail only regarding a Thunderbird upgrade. How weird, never seen such before. Fairly harmless! Screenshot.

Claydoh & S-K:

OK, so you see my post & screen shot now. Only RECENTLY did I turn on "enable off-line updates"!!! ha-ha

So, having turned on the Offline Updates feature last week (and for the first time), when I see an update available from Discover like that, I should re-boot, right?
I am asking because I leave this PC on 7x24 and almost never re-boot unless prompted by the OS.

The updates are not applied until you reboot, I think you do get a prompt or message to do so.

Thanks.
