Title:
  update-manager progress bar windows for download and applying changes
  sometimes do not appear.

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Ubuntu 10.10 update-manager can get into a state which will not show theUbuntu 10.10 update-manager can get into a state which will not show the progress windows for downloading, or for applying changes.  The update completes and is  normal otherwise.  This state will presist across reboots.  Running update-manager from a termninal with sudo will always
  make the progress windows appear, and then the next gui invocation of update-manager will have the progress windows, but the next login/reboot, the windows may be absent from the gui again.  The check button from the sudo invocation is enough to fix the problem for the next gui invocation.

  I believe, but am not sure the initial problem was caused by invoking
  update-manager from a non-sudo user (even just to check, since the
  installation could not work).  I had two identical thumbdrives, with
  nothing but updates applied to the default applications, one had the
  problem,  and the other did not.
