[Bug 894671] Re: update-manager freezes after initialization

[Doug McMahon]

On a new install from 12/04 it does produce  a crash when taking the extended period to initialise. The crash is what is seen here
Bug  616721 , as in 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/defer/__init__.py", line 472, in _inline_callbacks
    result = gen.throw(result.type, result.value, result.traceback)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/UpdateManager/backend/InstallBackendAptdaemon.py", line 33, in update
    trans = yield self.client.update_cache(defer=True)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

U-M then will work fine 1 time only, after that the process repeats, ie.
extended wait, crash, works fine once

Noting that U-M works fine on a gnome-shell session

Bug description:
  After starting the "UPDATE-MANAGER" from launcher and using the
  "search-button" for updates, the GUI freezes after downloading the
  update-informations. Starting the  the "start-update-button" is not
  possible anyway. These  happens on several machines with

  To close the GUI you have to "minimize" and use the option "close" of
  the launcher-icon.
