Title:
  system update should be run unatteded

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Note: This is an enhancement request!

  I performed an update to 9.04 beta

  I would like to see the option in update-manager to run unatteded
  since downloading and configuring takes a lot of time. The best would
  be to run this process during night time or absence.

  During configuration of upgraded packages, the update-manager asks to
  keep or replace changed system wide settings. If the user doesn't
  select a choice the installation stops.

  I would suggest to
  * add a option "Perform unattended upgrade" to the update-manager with the following characteristics
   * perform upgrade with default options not showing any warnings like for packages which are no more maintained etc.
   * upgrade all new packages by installing the new system wide configuration options
   * backup all configuration options changed by the user
   * save all warnings like for packages which are no more maintained etc.
  * when the upgrade has finished, the computer shall shut down
  * at the first log-in after the upgrade, open a wizard program that
   * shows all saved warnings like  for packages which are no more maintained etc.
   * offer the user to reconfigure the wide configuration options or re-install his changes

  => this could reduce the time a user effectively spends for an upgrade by leaving the system unattended
  => this could reduce the energy because the computer will automatically shut down when the process is finished.

  Thanks for looking into this!
