[Bug 1046563] Re: update-manager never appears on lubuntu precise

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Karl and Walter; speaking with mvo on this subject I was able to get
update-manager to work properly on my box, as well as display your
symptoms.

I believe you need to set the 'for other updates' setting to 'display
immediately'. check the setting page for update manager, you will see
the option. make sure everything is set to check daily and display
immediately. Then reboot your box, and everything should work as
expected.

Title:
  update-manager never appears on lubuntu precise

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

Bug description:
  i have upgraded to 12.04.1 and I've recently noticed that update-
  manager no longer prompts to install updates.  Previous to 12.04.1, it
  was mostly popping up every day.

  To reproduce, run the cron script and see if update-manager comes up,
  which it won't.

  to fix the bug, update-manager should show updates when they are
  available.

  I believe that update-manager works properly on a default install of
  lubuntu 12.04.  however, once it runs and updates to the new update
  manager, update manager turns itself off.
