Title:
  Clicking "Install Updates" button causes Update Manager window to gray
  out and become unresponsive; updates do not get installed

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Update Manager window grays out and becomes unresponsive when the
  "Install Updates" button is clicked, and the mouse cursor shows its
  busy animation while held over it. A dialog for the update progress is
  supposed to appear, but never does; the program thus becomes stuck
  like this until several minutes later when it regains color and
  responsiveness but still shows all the updates it was supposed to do.

  As a workaround, updates can still be performed by using sudo apt-get
  update && sudo apt-get upgrade.
