Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
I did an "update-manager -d" in a terminal window in workspace 1. It
took quite a long time for the GUI to start up (maybe 30-60 seconds),
and I thought it wasn't working. Meanwhile I switched to workspace 2.
When the GUI did finally come up, it popped up in workspace 2. I went
ahead and got the update going. When I came back later, the GUI appeared
to be frozen in the middle of an install, at "installing the upgrade."
The last message displayed was about a package that had been installed
successfully. The GUI appeared to be frozen. I clicked around on it and
couldn't get it to respond. In particular, I couldn't get it to respond
to clicks on the triangle widget to open the black terminal window
showing at what point it had frozen. Only later did I switch to a
different workspace and realize that there was a modal dialog displayed
in that workspace. I don't think the exact error is really relevant, but
I've pasted it below.
The problem here is that the GUI isn't behaving consistently. It opens
some dialogs in the workspace of the terminal window in which it was
started, and others in the workspace I happened to be in when the
software finished its (slow) startup.
This appears to be related to, but maybe not the same as, bugs 95327 and
16581. These all relate to problems with getting dialogs to pop up in
the right workspace. The other two bugs are marked as having been fixed
a long time ago.
