Ubuntu Software Updater randomly popping up

Question

I don't know why but it randomly pops up sometimes every hour sometimes every 30 minutes with the message "The software is up to date"

Answer 1

This would help you

• Open Software Sources by running following command in terminal(Ctrl+Alt+T):

  sudo software-properties-gtk
  

• Then go to Updates tab.

• Chose Never Under Automatically Check for Updates option.

• Close the window.

• Update your repository by:

  sudo apt-get update.
  

After that it should not pop-up any message. Repeat same step if you again want Ubuntu to pop-up for you. Just change Never to any other option. Try it once.. Reply if something goes wrong..
