:detective: Has anyone tried to use the auto flag with the updater (a la "./updater -auto")? Worked for me.
-
I experienced the not at all working updater as well.
Coincidentally i found out that only data is downloaded and the gui updated shortly after the window was made visible again, as brought back in the foreground or i switched back to the workspace the updater ran on from another workspace. It also helped to move another window over the updater and close the window there.
As i am an extremly lazy person and i am using gnome i opened a gnome-terminal an executed the following command (without leading and following quotation marks):
"for i in /dev/; do for i in /dev/; do gnome-terminal -e exit; sleep 1; done; done;"
This will open a gnome-terminal automaticaly every second and automaticaly close it again. If you now make sure the gnome-terminal appears above the updater window the updater will update his gui and keep downloading and therefor updateing. Also this is a very ugly workaround it worked like a charm for me. :D
Hope this helps anyone...

Heh. I updated by clicking furiously on the updater in the task bar, minimizing and unminimizing, until it was complete. Hello carpal tunnel. =P

I believe the updater keeps going if you leave it alone. It just doesn't update the screen frequently. Seems like it completed when I left it running as I went to the discount barn.

I thought so too, but then i started the network traffic tool and there was no traffic at all when i left the updater alone.

./updater -auto
Funktioniert doch super! Warum so viel aufwand?

Yep same here :'(

I just kept hitting alt + tab... :)
I remembered that there was something like that updater -auto, but I am lazy, so I thought that was easier...
