[Bug 819328] Re: [Oneiric] update-manager crashed with DBusException in _run(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

[David Biesack]

I guess my problem was not running Gnome3 - I was running a bare Xsession session with openbox window manager.
I logged out, then logged in with a Gnome3 Unity session, and update-manager is working OK for me
and downloading and applying changes. So for me the but is that update-manager does not work in
an Xsession (when I ran it there, I never got a password prompt for the sudo behavior).

(I still don't know why 'sudo apt-get update' failed as that should not
need any gui components)

Bug description:
  Run update-manager and get authentication dialog window, which surprised me because it wasn't expected since it never asked for a passwd before and it was told that this is by design, see comment #9 in Bug #814331
  ## It should also be clarified which policy is correct authentication request or not in order to know which behaviour is a bug.

  Then I obviously waited too long to insert a passwd and it crashed unexpected.
  When returning to workspace with still running update-manager it states all updates done, system ist up-to-date.
  When there're new updates available I'll try to reproduce the crash by not inserting a passwd and just doing nothing.
