Terminal Update Widget
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): https://github.com/Zren/plasma-applet-terminalupdate
Requires plasma-discover to be installed. Uses apt commands to update (KDE Neon / Kubuntu).
Clicking the "Update" button will instead open Konsole with the output of apt list --upgradeable, prompting you to run sudo apt full-upgrade.
1. After installing, right click the "triangle" in the system tray, then click "System Tray Settings".
2. Uncheck "Updates"
3. Check "Updates (Terminal)"
The widget also links to the Ubuntu (https://usn.ubuntu.com/releases/ubuntu-16.04-lts/) and KDE Security Notices (https://www.kde.org/info/security/) if you're interested in seeing what triggered a security update.
v3 - March 13 2018 2 years ago
* Fix position of update status text (should of been above the button).
* Show button to open /var/log/apt/history.log
* Use the Oxygen-*.ogg instead of KDE-*.ogg sounds. With KDE Neon, plasma-desktop depends on oxygen-sounds, but doesn't depend on kde-runtime-data which ships the KDE-*.ogg sounds.
* Fix Ubuntu 16.04 Security Notices link as the old link 404s.

v2 - January 22 2017 3 years ago
* Use `apt full-upgrade` instead of `apt upgrade`
* Use a different sound effect when there's packages to autoremove.
* Check for notify-send first and help the user install it. Kubuntu comes preinstalled with this, but KDE Neon doesn't.
v1 - September 22 2017 3 years ago
* First public release
* If no updates known, run a script in Konsole that calls `sudo apt update`, then run the upgrade script.
* If there are known updates, run a script in Konsole that calls `sudo apt upgrade`.
* Plays sounds effects and notifications on error/completion.
* Requires `libnotify-bin` (aka `notify send`) to show notications.

The notify-send command is used to send a notification when updates have finished installing.
The scripts are in:
~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/com.github.zren.terminalupdate/contents/scripts/

1) Right after installation on my KDE neon there was no "Updates (Terminal)" in System Tray Settings, thought i could add to panel as separate widget. After logout and login though "Updates (Terminal)" appeared and one can follow 3-steps instruction above.
2) After update process i occurred an error message. There was unknown command in script: "notify-send". You need to manually install "libnotify-bin" package and everything works fine.
