Was just snooping around in my Ubuntu Software files & noted that the Updates button indicated a 2. Upon clicking-on that I saw, of course, 2 updates awaiting me. What's odd though is when I click-on the Software Updater icon, over there on the left-side of my screen & then check for updates thru that I'm told: The software on this computer is up to date. Up to date but two updates waiting? Most peculiar.  |

UB, not sure what you mean by 'manual commands'. If you mean sudo commands executed within the terminal: yeah, I've done that at times. In fact, I recently solved a problem with an update not taking place properly with those commands.
If you mean do I manually install updates: yeah, that's my usual method. I could set Ubuntu to do automatic updates behind the scenes but I prefer doing those myself 'cause as they're installing I can click-on a 'details' button to see what's going on in the terminal. A line-by-line progression that shows what exactly is being downloaded & installed.

Well, puzzle solved...kinda. I still don't get why updates would show in my Ubuntu Software Center & not in my Software Updater. Previously when I'd discovered updates in the USC that weren't in the SU I installed them.
But I'm going to ignore those USC updates from now on 'cause I was in there this a.m., installing a screen-shot tool, & noted 2 updates indicated in USC. Which are the same 2 updates I got & installed thru the SU last evening & this morning. In other words, the updates in the USC are ones I've already taken via the US.
Apparently there's no synchronization between the USC & the SU. They're not "talking" to each other, I guess?

UB, something explained doesn't necessarily mean something understood.  |

UB, yeah, obviously they're not "talking" to each other.
Another oddity: the day after I got & installed the Firefox 56.0 update it showed up in my Software Updater again. Thinking it may be a lil' different than 56.0, like 56.0.1, I downloaded it again. And then when I looked at About Firefox it was the same version & number. I've seen that happen before so I'm not concerned about it, just curious as to why it happens.
A clue may be this: after the 1st instalment the FF update was still in my Ubuntu Software Center & then after the 2nd installment it wasn't.
I'd think that when I clicked-on the 2nd one that the installer would "read" my laptop's software & detect that the update had already been downloaded but apparently not.
