Public bug reported:
I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 release version. Despite not selecting
"install updates" it spent about two hours downloading kernels, language packs
and translations. When the install was finished it later prompted to install
another 9 updates (19 MB) but would just hang on the download part. I tried
this after several reboots. The problem seems to be that it is not asking for
the password. So I tried installing Synaptic and updating from there and that
works fine.
Also, the update manager confusingly shows two icons on the unity launcher bar
as if its running twice, but actually it is only the two windows (main and
installer) for the application.
