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

[kevjonesin]

Ah, it occurs to me that my expectations are likely based on Linux
Mint's persistent update status icon, rather than mainsream *buntu
distros. Perhaps the lubuntu update notifier is only intended to appear
for when pending updates are actively available? Leads me to question as
to what display and behaviour am I supposed to be seeing?

Title:
  update-manager never appears on lubuntu precise > trusty

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.
