It seems that running update-manager as root from the CLI does indeed
cause this issue. Please run update-manager from the "Administration"
area to proceed without any issues. If you must use the command line,
just run update-manager as yourself. Dont use "sudo" or "su" to start a
root shell. Marking Confirmed.
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- restart button does nothing in update-manager
+ Restart button does nothing in update-manager when run as root
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: update-manager
+
+ ----
+ Summary: When running update-manager as root, the "Restart" button does not
work. (Tested and confirmed on 10.04, 10.10, 11.04)
+ ----
After (eg) upgrading the kernel, update-manager will tell me the PC
needs to reboot. But when I click the Restart button, nothing happens.
I've got auto-login set if case that is relevant, but IIRC on another PC
running Maverick I have the same problem with no auto-login.
