[Bug 993837] Re: Can't open Update Manager window after a while

[Martijn Brinkers]

Some more information.

I could not start the update manager from Dash either. If I clicked the
update manager from Dash, nothing happened.

update-manager was actually somewhere in the background:

$ sudo ps aux | grep update
martijn   2844  0.0  0.0 403288 13512 ?        Sl   Jun14   0:01 update-notifier
martijn  11622  0.0  0.8 761848 131560 ?       SNl  07:58   0:04 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/update-manager --no-focus-on-map

After killing the update-manager process I was able to start the update
manager from Dash.

Title:
  Can't open Update Manager window after a while

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

Bug description:
  * The Update Manager popped up in the Dock automatically, while I was doing other work.
  * I did not immediately click on it but rather about 30 minutes later (maybe more).
  * Clicking on the icon does nothing, the window doesn't come up.

  I *can* right click the icon and choose 'Install All Available
  Updates' and it will work. I don't know if a window should come up, it
  only shows the progress inside the Dock.

  This bug happens every time, unless I click the icon immediately after
  it pops up in the Dock.
