Unattended upgrades doesn’t work for me

I recently activated „unattended upgrades“ so that I might not have to update my system every 2-3 days by hand.

But nothing has really changed. From the logs I see that unattended upgrades does updates regularly but it never does all of them. So I still have updated pending every couple days.

I know, there are updates that can break your stuff but that can happen anyway. Maybe I‘m just missing a config entry or something. Btw. the same goes for autoreastart if needed. That I should activate as well.

Does anyone have experience with it?

theit8514,

By default it only applies security updates. Check the configuration file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d to enable other updates.
