Since it's affecting the LTS then this is still both a bug and a paper cut. We should do two things here:
1. Figure out what it is that's causing the 'Install Updates' button to do nothing without first checking for updates. 2. Backport both the first for the above point, as well as the automatic update check (because that's actually quite handy), to 12.04. The reason that point #1 is important is that there could be some updates that were found during the last check but not installed for whatever reason, so the update manager could be sitting there with a list of available update and no way to install them. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Papercuts Ninja, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414181 Title: "Install Updates" button does nothing when Update Manager opened by itself Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Confirmed Status in Software Updater: Invalid Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Ubuntu 9.04, Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.10 Update manager loads periodically and informs of new updates available. Clicking "Install Updates" button does nothing. The expected behavior (for this user) is that it ask for administrative password and then install the updates. However, if the "Check" button is clicked, then Admin Pass is requested, check is performed, and "Install Updates' button becomes active. Once learned this is only an annoyance. If this is the correct behavior, the install updates button should be greyed or a notice given to recheck before installing. WORKAROUND: click "check updates" before clicking on "install" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/414181/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~papercuts-ninja Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~papercuts-ninja More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
