This is expected behavior, and is well documented that Internet access is generally required to use the controller. It is possible to run the controller isolated, and we are working on a KB article that should hopefully get published very soon. This is to provide the high level of security that Alta users expect. You will never see a broken lock when accessing your Alta controller settings, and this is a side-effect of that.
Controller updates are still not updating core ubuntu packages, whether they are in use or not. This has become a manual effort each and every update. When will this be corrected?
This is intentional, as we only apply security updates automatically. Applying non-security updates potentially requires manual intervention, with no security benefit. You are, of course, free to update all of the other packages as desired, on your own.
