On a PC with a fresh install of Edgy this bug is still unresolved after several weeks.
Update Manager shows downloads available and opening the manager shows a list of the available updates. Selecting to install, a moving bar appears with the message "Reading state Information". After about 5 to 10 seconds this window then disappears but will reappear if install is again selected. No password input window appears, no updates are downloaded. Updates are available manually using the terminal. No solution given in the Forum? -- The Updater doesn't download and Configure the updates https://launchpad.net/bugs/75003 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
