[Bug 1211511] Re: Text not visible in Software Updater dialog (update-manager GUI) when updated software is available.

[Peter Flynn]

I just had this identical problem just now (2013-08-16) and I ran sudo
apt-get upgrade to fix it:

The following packages will be upgraded:
  command-not-found command-not-found-data libplymouth2 plymouth
  plymouth-label plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text plymouth-x11
  python3-commandnotfound
8 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Perhaps be better to list "software libraries and packages for internal
management" or something like, just to avoid the empty window.

Title:
  Text not visible in  Software Updater dialog (update-manager GUI) when
  updated software is available.

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

Bug description:
  Software Updater displays the message: "Updated software is available for this computer.  Do you want to install it now?"
  However, the Details of updates list is blank.
  Software Updater displays the size of the download.
  The Technical decription, Changes text area is blank.
  The Technical decription, Description area is also blank.

  When update-manager is run from the commandline, the only output is...
      $ ubuntu-bug update-manager
      (apport-gtk:7449): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large
      (apport-gtk:7449): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_window_set_icon_list: icons too large

      (process:8800): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed
