How to disable the update manager popup?
I configured this:
Automatically check for updates: Never
But the update manager keeps poping up against my wishes, I have no control. I feel like I'm using Windows again.
I want to be able to install updates from time to time, manually.
What can I do?
update-manager

Disabling the popups in the configuration seems not to be possible, as told by coteyr in the comments on this page (https://askubuntu.com/a/218780/19753: "It's important to note that other then removing update-manager-core you can't really stop the popup. You can just delay it till something else runs apt-get update
" – coteyr Nov 18 '12 at 9:14).
I also wanted to get rid of the popups and of the underlying program that would consume the resources of my Ubuntu 12.04 system on a weak Toshiba AC100 (ARM) -- https://answers.launchpad.net/ac100/+question/214505/.
So the simplest working solution must be removing the "update-manager" (as I've mentioned in the comments at https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/46315/4319 ).
I have had no problems after that because I could still use apt-get
or synaptic
to do package updates.

@imz - on 16.10 it couldn't be removed, since it will remove other packages, likeubuntu-desktop
: paste2.org/xHxWLBtf - a possible solution: remove the binary file (/usr/bin/update-manager
), and apt hold package to prevent updates (echo update-manager hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
).

It's probably better to just removeupdate-notifier
rather than the entire update manager. Remember to runpkill update-notifier
after removing it (or reboot), otherwise Ubuntu will show an error in the indicator panel.

@antivirtel ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage so you can remove it without removing the actual desktop so that shouldn't be a problem.

Open up the config file that runs the update-manager part after apt
nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99update-notifier
Add '#' infront of the line making it something similar to:
#DPkg::Post-Invoke {"if [ -d /var/lib/update-notifier ]; then touch /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp; fi; if [ -e /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available ]; then echo > /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available; fi "; };
Done.
This worked for me in stopping the update manager popping up after every apt update while still allowing me to run update-manager manually if i wanted to.
That seems to have worked for me (16.04)

The comment syntax for this config file is to start lines with//
- this solution may work as long as the APT scripts skip the invalid line rather than stopping with a syntax error.

Just turning off notification of updates will not be enough. There are several background jobs that run apt-get update (including a nightly cron job if I remember right).
To stop the pop-up run update-manager
Then in settings, set Update automaticly to 'Never' and Notify of new version to 'Never'
I suggest leave security at immediately and, setting "others" to every two weeks.
You also need to make sure your not running apt-get update anywhere else. This can happen when you install software, run update-manager, or in a cron job.
If that doesn't work for you:
You can do this by
editing /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic
and changeing
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
to
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
Last Resort
You can also do apt-get remove update-manager
to remove the feature all together.

Ah,apt-get update
is the culprit then. So what do I lose exactly if I remove update-manager-core? I think I read somewhere that it will remove the desktop too if you use unity.

It will remove the desktop 'meta-package'. But that shouldn't harm a thing. It's just a shortcut for installing all the other packages needed for an official "ubuntu" You will loose update-manager. You will need to update manually.

Actually runningapt-get remove update-manager-core
removes almost the entire system. The proper package to remove is update-notifier:apt-get remove update-notifier
which will also remove update-manager-core without pushing further packages to be removed. Cheers! :)

It is good that Ubuntu automatically checks for updates, it is not good that it pops-up windows against your will. You can have less invasive notifications via the gnome bar or from terminal based applications (like Byobu).
To disable the update-notifier while leaving the update-manager automatically checking for updates, run the following from a terminal:
sudo apt-get install gconf-editor
in case you don't have it already installed
sudo gconf-editor
mind the sudo attribute- search for app->update-notifier and un-tick the "auto-launch" option
- close the window
gconf-editor
this time as a user (i.e. without sudo)- search again for app->update-notifier and change the "regular_auto_launch_interval" to the number of days you want it to wait before popping-up (0 is immediately, 1 one day, 99999999 basically never again)
1
This sounds like what I need, but I don't have that option. I have 'apps->update-manager', end there is no 'auto-launch' to un-tick.

You've set it to never check for updates, but you'll find the update manager is opening because it already knows there are updates to be done. Do the updates that it has and it won't bother you again until you update the file lists.
It's a bit like terminal will tell you when there are updates in the apt list that have been put there with 'apt-get update', and will keep on reminding you until you install them.
Now you make me doubt about whether I've already done this in this particular box. Will try again

that might cause problems if the service manager kept restarting update-notifier when it exited. I'm not exactly sure what program it is that manages this "feature". glad that you can still uninstall it without it immediately breaking anything =/, I hope that not having the ubuntu-gnome-desktop metapackage anymore doesn't leave me out of anything like cool programs added to it in the future

This is a solid option but it does not handle package updates.sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/update-notifier.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/update-notifier
tells the packaging system that the sys admin has taken over that file.

Ubuntu 16.04 running Gnome Session
You can fix that by removing "Update Notifier" from the "Startup Applications."
First allow it to display in the list of your startup applications.
sudo sed --in-place 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop
Then uncheck the item here:
gnome-session-properties
This way you don't need to make any changes in your auto-update configuration (but you can if you want to), rename system files nor remove packages.

I do not like automatic updates so I want to disable them always.
I use Ubuntu 14.04 with Gnome desktop environment. I do not know if gsettings is available in Unity.
On slow internet connections disabling apt-xapian-index prevents automatic package downloading which will take all your bandwith (I have 256 kb/s mobile sometimes).
sudo chmod a-x /etc/cron.daily/update-notifier-common
sudo chmod a-x /etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index
sudo chmod a-x /etc/cron.weekly/update-notifier-common
gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-notifier regular-auto-launch-interval 3650
gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-manager launch-time 1900000000
Seemed to do the trick for me. 3650 means days...
1900000000 tells that the update-manager is last run on year 2030 :)
Update: On Ubuntu 16.04 it seems that you are able to disable automatic updates with following commands and by editing two files:
sudo mv /etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop.old
sudo mv /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-software-service.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-software-service.desktop.old
If extension is other than .desktop these commands won't be run on system start.
Edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "0";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";
Edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";
If you have started Update manager even ONCE these files will contain four lines:
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "0";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";
Just change all values to "0"

I am not sure why anyone has not tried this.
I simply disable all checkpoints under "ubuntu software" and "other software" in "software and updates", besides setting options under "automatic updates" and "check for newer version" to "never". This avoids any check up as there is no link, hence no pop-up.
My main pain point was that these updates eat lot of internet data. For people on move, 3G/4G data is expensive and we'd like to optimize its usage. Hope ubuntu understands this concern and provides simpler options to disable updates completely as per user requirements.

I had a similar issue. Executing,
apt-get purge update-notifer*
resolved issue!

Edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
and set:
Prompt=never
change this with your favorite editor).
Never use update-manager
with -d this checks whether the next release is available or not.

For Ubuntu 16.04, and possibly other releases as well:
sudo chmod 000 /usr/bin/update-manager
sudo chmod 000 /usr/bin/update-notifier
Then reboot. (Alternatively, it is possible that merely logging out and back in is sufficient.)
You can verify that update-manager
is not running by examining the output of:
ps auxwww | grep update
(Aside: Other posters have suggested sudo apt-get purge update-notifer*
. However, I prefer not to remove packages that might be tangled up in the various desktop
meta-packages.)
Hmm, several of these answers seem like dangerous hacks.

To disable the anoying popup after 12.04 had no longer support I did:
cd
to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
and edited: 15update-stamp
commented de the original line and added a "fixed" line. My file had:
APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success {"touch /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp 2>/dev/null || true";};
and now I substituted it with:
APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success {"touch /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp 2>true || true";};
Now every time the update is run it is sort of as: "updates where searched for, not found (your system was no longer supported), but it was attempted, everything is as ok as it will get"

@imz - on 16.10 it couldn't be removed, since it will remove other packages, like
ubuntu-desktop
: paste2.org/xHxWLBtf - a possible solution: remove the binary file (/usr/bin/update-manager
), and apt hold package to prevent updates (echo update-manager hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections
).– antivirtel

It's probably better to just remove
update-notifier
rather than the entire update manager. Remember to run pkill update-notifier
after removing it (or reboot), otherwise Ubuntu will show an error in the indicator panel.– Dylan Parry

@antivirtel ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage so you can remove it without removing the actual desktop so that shouldn't be a problem.

Open up the config file that runs the update-manager part after apt
nano /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99update-notifier
Add '#' infront of the line making it something similar to:
#DPkg::Post-Invoke {"if [ -d /var/lib/update-notifier ]; then touch /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp; fi; if [ -e /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available ]; then echo > /var/lib/update-notifier/updates-available; fi "; };
Done.
This worked for me in stopping the update manager popping up after every apt update while still allowing me to run update-manager manually if i wanted to.
That seems to have worked for me (16.04)

Just turning off notification of updates will not be enough. There are several background jobs that run apt-get update (including a nightly cron job if I remember right).
To stop the pop-up run update-manager
Then in settings, set Update automaticly to 'Never' and Notify of new version to 'Never'
I suggest leave security at immediately and, setting "others" to every two weeks.
You also need to make sure your not running apt-get update anywhere else. This can happen when you install software, run update-manager, or in a cron job.
If that doesn't work for you:
You can do this by
editing /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic
and changeing
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
to
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
Last Resort
You can also do apt-get remove update-manager
to remove the feature all together.

It's important to note that other then removing update-manager-core you can't really stop the popup. You can just delay it till something else runsapt-get update

Ah,apt-get update

It will remove the desktop 'meta-package'. But that shouldn't harm a thing. It's just a shortcut for installing all the other packages needed for an official "ubuntu" You will loose update-manager. You will need to update manually.

It is good that Ubuntu automatically checks for updates, it is not good that it pops-up windows against your will. You can have less invasive notifications via the gnome bar or from terminal based applications (like Byobu).
To disable the update-notifier while leaving the update-manager automatically checking for updates, run the following from a terminal:
sudo apt-get install gconf-editor
in case you don't have it already installed
sudo gconf-editor
mind the sudo attribute- search for app->update-notifier and un-tick the "auto-launch" option
- close the window
gconf-editor
this time as a user (i.e. without sudo)- search again for app->update-notifier and change the "regular_auto_launch_interval" to the number of days you want it to wait before popping-up (0 is immediately, 1 one day, 99999999 basically never again)

This sounds like what I need, but I don't have that option. I have 'apps->update-manager', end there is no 'auto-launch' to un-tick.

You've set it to never check for updates, but you'll find the update manager is opening because it already knows there are updates to be done. Do the updates that it has and it won't bother you again until you update the file lists.
It's a bit like terminal will tell you when there are updates in the apt list that have been put there with 'apt-get update', and will keep on reminding you until you install them.
Now you make me doubt about whether I've already done this in this particular box. Will try again

You've set it to never check for updates, but you'll find the update manager is opening because it already knows there are updates to be done. Do the updates that it has and it won't bother you again until you update the file lists.
It's a bit like terminal will tell you when there are updates in the apt list that have been put there with 'apt-get update', and will keep on reminding you until you install them.
Now you make me doubt about whether I've already done this in this particular box. Will try again

This doesn't work for 14.04 (xfce ubuntustudio 64). It checks for updates and reports my computer is up to date.

that might cause problems if the service manager kept restarting update-notifier when it exited. I'm not exactly sure what program it is that manages this "feature". glad that you can still uninstall it without it immediately breaking anything =/, I hope that not having the ubuntu-gnome-desktop metapackage anymore doesn't leave me out of anything like cool programs added to it in the future

Ubuntu 16.04 running Gnome Session
You can fix that by removing "Update Notifier" from the "Startup Applications."
First allow it to display in the list of your startup applications.
sudo sed --in-place 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop
Then uncheck the item here:
gnome-session-properties
This way you don't need to make any changes in your auto-update configuration (but you can if you want to), rename system files nor remove packages.

I do not like automatic updates so I want to disable them always.
I use Ubuntu 14.04 with Gnome desktop environment. I do not know if gsettings is available in Unity.
On slow internet connections disabling apt-xapian-index prevents automatic package downloading which will take all your bandwith (I have 256 kb/s mobile sometimes).
sudo chmod a-x /etc/cron.daily/update-notifier-common
sudo chmod a-x /etc/cron.weekly/apt-xapian-index
sudo chmod a-x /etc/cron.weekly/update-notifier-common
gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-notifier regular-auto-launch-interval 3650
gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-manager launch-time 1900000000
Seemed to do the trick for me. 3650 means days...
1900000000 tells that the update-manager is last run on year 2030 :)
Update: On Ubuntu 16.04 it seems that you are able to disable automatic updates with following commands and by editing two files:
sudo mv /etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop.old
sudo mv /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-software-service.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-software-service.desktop.old
If extension is other than .desktop these commands won't be run on system start.
Edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "0";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";
Edit /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";
If you have started Update manager even ONCE these files will contain four lines:
APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "0";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "0";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";
Just change all values to "0"

I am not sure why anyone has not tried this.
I simply disable all checkpoints under "ubuntu software" and "other software" in "software and updates", besides setting options under "automatic updates" and "check for newer version" to "never". This avoids any check up as there is no link, hence no pop-up.
My main pain point was that these updates eat lot of internet data. For people on move, 3G/4G data is expensive and we'd like to optimize its usage. Hope ubuntu understands this concern and provides simpler options to disable updates completely as per user requirements.

For Ubuntu 16.04, and possibly other releases as well:
sudo chmod 000 /usr/bin/update-manager
sudo chmod 000 /usr/bin/update-notifier
Then reboot. (Alternatively, it is possible that merely logging out and back in is sufficient.)
You can verify that update-manager
is not running by examining the output of:
ps auxwww | grep update
(Aside: Other posters have suggested sudo apt-get purge update-notifer*
. However, I prefer not to remove packages that might be tangled up in the various desktop
meta-packages.)
Hmm, several of these answers seem like dangerous hacks.

To disable the anoying popup after 12.04 had no longer support I did:
cd
to /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
and edited: 15update-stamp
commented de the original line and added a "fixed" line. My file had:
APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success {"touch /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp 2>/dev/null || true";};
and now I substituted it with:
APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success {"touch /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp 2>true || true";};
Now every time the update is run it is sort of as: "updates where searched for, not found (your system was no longer supported), but it was attempted, everything is as ok as it will get"

and edited: 15update-stamp
commented de the original line and added a "fixed" line. My file had:
APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success {"touch /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp 2>/dev/null || true";};
and now I substituted it with:
APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success {"touch /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp 2>true || true";};
Now every time the update is run it is sort of as: "updates where searched for, not found (your system was no longer supported), but it was attempted, everything is as ok as it will get"
