Title:
  update manager doesn't indicate software being installed

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

Bug description:
  I have recently upgraded to the Quanatal kernel ( 3.5.0-3-generic) in
  Precise, and I check for updates manually in update-manager
  (1:0.156.14.5), so after manually refreshing update manager (with the
  "Check" button) I was shown a list of updates, and installed them
  (with the "Install Updates" button). I expected the program to show
  the pop-up window and the main window to turn to an inactive window as
  it has always NORMALLY done.  However, the window does not pop up, nor
  does the window become inactive.  The Unity Launcher does indeed show
  the 'progress bar'.  So as I am unsure if the updates are happening
  correctly I again click "Install Updates".  The updates install and
  everything works.  So this is a minor bug.  I will check to see if the
  updates will install normally without clicking again, and I will check
  to see if it is indeed only when I manually refresh the available
  updates (by clicking the "Check" button).
