How To Configure/Check Automatic Updates Schedule In Ubuntu? One of the nicest features of Ubuntu Linux is the automatic update feature, which helps you keep your computer updated with the latest software and security updates. There’s also a nice GUI tool that helps you configure how often updates are checked, and can even automatically download the new updates.



You will find the tool on your System >> Administration >> Software Sources menu







After the tool opens, click on the Updates tab and in the Automatic updates section, click on the arrow and select how often you want Ubuntu to check for updates. Your choices are:



Daily


Every two days


Weekly


Every two weeks








You can also select how you want to be notified of updates either by no confirmation (updates are installed automatically), downloading updates in the background (make sure you have enough available disk space) or just with a notification that updates are available (pdates are not downloaded until you confirm).



When finished with making your selections, click Close to save your changes.
