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

[Walter Lapchynski]

assuming by cron job we mean running the /etc/cron.daily/update-
notifier-common script then it does not produce any results.

however, it's clear this does not replicate the native scenario, as
after changing display immediately on other updates, i did get update-
manager to pop up after running apt-get update.

so i think this bug is done.

on another note, though: update-manager tells me i have 10 packages to
be upgraded, while apt-get upgrade tells me i have 0 to be upgraded and
4 to be held back. uh…

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.
