What is apt downloading?

ke flag

In the last few weeks I've been troubled by the following problem: everyday, apt automatically download something using maximum internet priority: it doesn't request any password. Given my slow internet connection, it usually takes 20-25minutes, in which I'm unable to load any webpage, let alone receive or send emails. The situation is unbearable.

This is a screenshot of the only information I have been able to gather.

Is there any way to get more information? I want to know what my system is downloading...

OS: Kubuntu 22.04.

Don't be afraid to ask any missing information.

EDIT:

This is the content of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "0";
APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0";

This is the content of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20-auto-upgrades:

APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";
APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";

This is the content of /var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log. I believe the system might be downloading nvidia drivers and trying to install them and fails?

APT auto-checks for updates daily. You can disable it, and check for updates manually whenever ready.

Do you mean auto-upgrades? I've added more information to the question, take a look...

Might this be a `snap` or even 'flathub' -related "problem"? (I have disabled and removed snap, to much monkey business with those)

Maybe? Unfortunately I can't remove them, there are app that are only available with those channels.

Hit the WinKey / Super key and type "Software", click on the pinkish icon that appears.

In there; Select the /Updates\ tab and set the options you wish for...

I've checked and manual updates are already selected. I've added a few more screenshot maybe it helps to debug...

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
