No updates to 13.04 yet?

**rplantz** · May 1st, 2013

I did a fresh install of 13.04 this past Friday (26 April). I chose to fetch updates as it installed. I see quite a few error messages as the system boots, which go by too fast for me to read, and then it runs just fine.

As I recall, there are quite a few updates almost immediately after most new releases, but I have not seen any yet. I've tried both the Software Updater, and after running

Code:

~$ sudo apt-get update

followed by a list of many Hits, Gets, and Igns, I run:

Code:

~$ sudo apt-get -s upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

Here is my sources.list:

~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Did they release a perfect system this time?

I wonder the same thing

I've checked my sources.list and it seems okay, no weird repositories at all. Well, it works as it should, only had problems with Skype while using my prop-driver for my ATI-card (which I found a fix for) and to get out HMDI-sound (added a daily-ppa for Alsa, which worked good). I did have a update on the Ubuntu-base and Steam the first or the second day, but after that, no updates at all.

Actually, I just did a quick check of my 13/04 amd64 system, and yes, there were plenty of updates on Apr 26 to the base system but very little since (I think none). I have had a few updates but all are due to ppas when I check each one.

I installed on Apr 26th and did get some updates on that date...but i have seen none since...so it seems like so far, there has not been any updates since Friday...

I haven't had any updates the past week or so either. It might just be that there are none for now.
Back in the day updates were constant and copious, but maybe Ubuntu has reached a level of stability that software updates just aren't needed as often.

Then again, I "ttthhink" that usually there is a lull shortly after releases. My guess is that they're gathering bug reports and/or on a long vacation after
all the chaos leading up to the new version.
But really I have no idea.

I also choose to fetch updates as the OS installed and then i went to the DASH and typed software and then clicked on Software Update and installed the updates i required

Glad to hear that it's not just me. I'm definitely not complaining. I'm very happy with what they have done, and I think they deserve a long vacation after each release!

I was running 13.04 while still in development, so i got accustomed to getting updates every day...so it seemed strange to me to not get any for several days but i forgot that on a released version, you don't get daily updates...and of course, this was just released, so i should have expected it to be quiet for a while
