unattended update-manager

[T bosc]

Take a look at ubuntu source list on your laptop. Search an example of source.list for your release version and replace your list with this one.
I had a similar problem with Gutsy and this one solved it.

   that seemed a good idea. So I performed the first steps, which worked well.
   But after that I had a more basic problem on 1 machine:
   - on my desktop, update-manager works ( new distribution ... available )
   - on my laptop, I get:
            "you can install 1 update",
            " download size 82 kb"
        but the description window is empty, and clicking on "install updates"
        dows nothing
     Anyway, update-manager gives the message
         "current dist not found in meta-release file"
     and do-release-upgrade gives:
         " Checking for a new ubuntu release
           current dist not found in meta-release file
           No new release found "
     Browsing the Web for that message gave me no useful information. apart that
     this bug was already present in previous releases, and was supposed to be fixed.

May-be this post should be done in a new thread?
