Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager

10.10 update-manager can get into a state which will not show the progress
windows for downloading, or for applying changes. The update completes and is
normal otherwise. This state will presist across reboots. Running
update-manager from a termninal with sudo will always
make the progress windows appear, and then the next gui invocation of
update-manager will have the progress windows, but the next login/reboot, the
windows may be absent from the gui again. The check button from the sudo
invocation is enough to fix the problem for the next gui invocation.
I believe, but am not sure the initial problem was caused by invoking
update-manager from a non-sudo user (even just to check, since the
installation could not work). I had two identical thumbdrives, with
nothing but updates applied to the default applications, one had the
problem, and the other did not.
