I know about the 'Update Manager' that runs every couple of hours and picks up updates. But after it runs, I'm now getting a new window
opening up titled 'Software Updater'.

Today it listed about 5 things, and if I say install, it does about 10% of a red line and then back to the screen with nothing showing yet
it still has a 'install' button. I can hit that install button several times and it never seem to do more that 10%.

Anyone know what gives? Can I remove it? More important, where did it come from?

Mint's update manager's name is mintUpdate. It has some nice features.

My Mint has an update-manager in its repo/s which is not installed .

If you use your synaptic and find that you have that update-manager
installed, you could uninstall it from there.

Personally I (often/also) use synaptic as my update manager because I
find it more flexible in terms of my ability to pick and choose what to
update and what not.

This is where I found out about update-manager/ Software Updater

That's just what I did, I removed update-manager in synaptic. I'm still curious where it came from, since it's GNOME's, I wonder if I
installed some item that added it along with it. Oh well, it's gone now.
Thanks Mike.

You must have installed it (Gnome update thingy)
