[Bug 1399993] Re: Unable to open Software Updater after it automatically checked for updates

It seems that this bug has been resolved by the latest kernel update (or
something that went along with it).

Title:
  Unable to open Software Updater after it automatically checked for
  updates

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Software Updater checks for new updates daily, and when it has found
  updates, it displays an icon on the launcher. Clicking on the launcher
  should open Software Updater, whereupon the user is prompted to select
  and install updates.

  However, after I upgraded to 14.10, when software updater's icon
  appers in the launcher, it is unresponsive to clicking. While the icon
  is still there, attempting to launch a fresh copy of Software Updater
  from the Dash will not work, as there is an instance of update-manager
  already running (it's actually sleeping). It is only when I manually
  quit the update-manager (right clicking on the icon and then click
  "Quit" will do) that I can relaunch Software Updater.

  Curiously, after relaunching Software Updater in this case, it will
  forget about its previous window size, and default to the tiny version
  instead.

  This problem happens every time for me, so I'm not sure of the exact
  circumstances under which it's replicable.
