[Bug 925260] Re: Update Manager icon appears on the launcher when updates are available, clicking on it does not bring up the update-manager.

[Todd Wilson]

Ah, this makes sense. I sometimes use a projector on my laptop, and,
while the laptop is connected to the projector, the projector screen is
mapped alongside my laptop screen (rather than shared) so that I have to
drag windows off of my laptop screen for them to appear on the projector
screen. After unplugging the projector cable, the virtual combined
screen reverts to its original size, but perhaps something is not being
reset at the same time, so that when the Update Manager window is later
opened, it is opened into now non-existent screen space. That would
explain what I'm seeing. Thanks, Bryan, for that observation and work-
around.

Title:
  Update Manager icon appears on the launcher when updates are
  available, clicking on it does not bring up the update-manager.

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

Bug description:
  My Update Manager in 11.10 never opens correctly, unless I am in GNOME3 instead of Unity. When new updates appear, the icon shows on the dash, but the window never opens when I click on it. I can right-click and say "Install Updates" or "Check for Updates," which is all good because it does what it is supposed to with those two features, but it gets really annoying because I cannot choose which updates to not install! Please fix this problem ASAP!
  The same problem appears every time I reinstall Ubuntu 11.10 on this machine, but the Update Manager works fine on every other 11.10 machine I use. It is very frustrating.
