Ultimate Edition Forum

heres how I got rid of that nagging ugly icon on my desktop.I have been using it this way for a while with no ill effects. I never really wanted to know if there were "updates" in the first place.Ultimate for the most part works as is(for me it has worked 100%),besides if i want to install something ill use synaptics, the terminal,or just download a script.Believe me, that icon is the root of all evil

this by no means is a "how to" so if you don't know what apt or synaptics are. then don't do it

I have seen other comments about the necessity to upgrade, and pch.shot even saying his XP from 2005 has never been updated.

"If it works....leave the sucker alone"....

I will be following your lead here.....Thanks Cell

Cheers

you can still upgrade with out that orange spot on your desktop.the damn thing reminds me of microsofts little shield icon,and i dislike that just as much.Anyways thats my ranting rave.

A word of warning here. You must install a real firewall and close all your incoming ports(don't use the Windows one-turn off the security center altogether) and a good anti-virus(always updated). Also, run a virus scan once a week.

Thanks for reminding me,I don't have it anymore for long time ago already,but it is good to know for the others users.(Forgive me for being selfish ).Very well Cell!I saw that the new ubuntu main doesn't have it too by default.
