Always "Check" recommended in UpdateManager before "Install Updates"?

[pstein]

When I call Update Manager then there is a button "check".
I guess this button updates the local internal software version repository.
So it is always recommended to do a "Check" before the actual "Install Updates" ?

Why is there a "check" button at all?

Should this be that automatically included in the "Install Update" function?

Open a terminal and run:


sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the updates install successfully then there is no problem. That "check" button runs the command "sudo apt-get update"
Write back if you need more help.
