** Description changed:
I am not a 100% sure if this is a problem caused by the "update-manager"
package or "update-notifier" or unity.
If needed I can reproduce this the next time there are updates available and
report it to some other package or enhance this report. I have also used cli
for some years so let me know if I can do anything else.
I have also seen that there are several "popular bug reports" that look
similar but I am going to go by the guideline that duplicate reports are not a
bad thing and the developer knows better if it is a duplicate or not.
I have had this bug for a while.
I have checked and these are things that do not let me see the update manager
window itself:
* Click
* Double click
* Alt+tab (I can see the icon in the list)
* I do not have second monitor attached. I have had it configured at some
point in the past
* It is not on any of the other workspaces
I can also see the process in pstree output:
| | | |-update-manager,16121 /usr/bin/update-manager --no-update
--no-focus-on-map
| | | | |-{update-manager},16128
| | | | `-{update-manager},16129

Running `sudo apt-get update` does not solve the problem. I can also
open "software centre" and install software from cli.
I tried to start update-manager from cli without closeing anything but
this also does not help. It also doesn't give any output.
+
+ Locking and unlocking to launcher did not do anything.
+
+ I can choose Install all available updates from the right-click menu and
+ this works. Process called "update-apt-xapi" is stared and updates are
+ installed. Also the package manager is locked for that time. (can not
+ update package index at the same time).
+
+ Quit option from the right click menu works. After quitting I can start
+ the update-manager from cli and now it is fully functional.
