[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.

This is a little bit off topic. It could be useful to launch the
following services in our .Xsession. It is up to you to decide what you
want or not:

eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
gnome-settings-daemon # themes, resolutions ...
gnome-power-manager
/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
nm-applet # if you are using network manager
eval `gnome-keyring-daemon`  # for passwords
/usr/lib/seahorse/seahorse-ssh-askpass
update-notifier

AFAIK update-manager requires the session dbus service and the polkit
agent.

Title:
  [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.

Status in “aptdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “aptdaemon” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Released

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.
