O.K. Here is what is happening.
I start my computer, Ubuntu loads up and auto-logs on and in. Since it loads up 
a user that probably doesn't have sudo rights. I open up another terminal to 
access root. [F7] Terminal to [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[F1]Terminal. Then I run commmands 
like: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, and 
sudo update-manager -c -d. I understand I could do that from a terminal window, 
I perfer to use this method for public access computers being upgraded 
real-time, while users continue to use the machines.
When I type the command: sudo update-manager -c -d from the console while a 
[F7] Terminal is open in the background, I get this error message, and a bug 
report is produced.
I expect to be able to open up multiple terminals with or with out gdm, startx, 
or whatever gui interface, on more that one terminal at a time.
Thanks, let me know if i'm expecting to much, or if there is a better option 
for upgrading real-time and sending it to background, so it doesn't bother no 
sudo users.
