Public bug reported: mark@mark-OptiPlex-755:~$ 'lsb_release -rd' lsb_release -rd: command not found mark@mark-OptiPlex-755:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 mark@mark-OptiPlex-755:~$ apt-cache policy update-manager update-manager: Installed: 1:0.196.12 Candidate: 1:0.196.12 Version table: *** 1:0.196.12 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:0.196.11 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
I expected it to upgrade the packages that it found needed to be upgraded. Instead, it just disappeared off the desktop. No notice of it crashing was given by the system, but that is what I believe happened. I then upgraded the packages via apt-get. Specifically, "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade". These commands found the same needed upgrades that update-manager found, but these commands worked and did the upgrade, whereas update-manager did not.
