A thought about getting 2 updates running concurrently. When I have not run the ubuntu computer recently (it is set up for my wife at the moment), I tend to go to Update Manager and run it manually. If it would also run automatically, and I do not notice that it is already running, that could cause it to run twice.
Robert (I am stuck with using this windows xp computer because of some software I need to use. Ubuntu is so very much more efficient and faster on a computer with similar hardware. If I could get everything I want to work on ubuntu, I would abandon windows completely.)
