Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
Ubuntu 10.10 update-manager can get into a state which will not show theUbuntu 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.
