Title:
  update-manger crashes with message could not grab mouse

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  The package is update-manager.  I have been having this problem since
  Jaunty Alpha 5.  Update-manager crashes with a message about not being
  able to capture the mouse.  This also happens when I run update-
  manager -d.  (I tried to upgrade to Lucid because Karmic has been the
  version from hell.)

  Expected behavior - the update-manager would check for new updates and
  allow me to install them.

  Actual behavior - error message and crash.  The crash is so bad that I
  cannot run other programs afterward - the screen is frozen.  Sometimes
  I can recover by clicking on other areas of the screen and regaining
  control.

  I know I won't be able to fie a bug report on another problem - when I
  downloaded the Lucid alpha 2 iso, burned it to cd (ok) and then tried
  to run it to upgrade, I got a kernel panic.  Why aren't we allowed to
  file reports in launchpad without having the problem program up and
  running?  I am so angry right now that if I am considering using
  another distribution.
