[Bug 1394241] Re: Update Manager quietly crashes

[Phill Whiteside]

running gksudo update-manager launches the GUI and when clicking on the
"Install Now", it then asks for the password, this does not happen with
it being launched either by cron / daemon or selected via menu. Using
gksudo update-manager does update the system.

  Update Manager quietly crashes

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  update-notifier tells me there are updates and I can see the list, but
  when I click on 'install' the program quits with no error message

  happens every time.
