Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
Summary: As discovered in bug #188957 if Update Manager cannot resolve its hostname properly it hangs forever without any notice or warning to the user. 1) Description: Ubuntu 8.04 Release: 8.04 2) update-manager: Installed: 1:0.87.26 Candidate: 1:0.87.26 Version table: *** 1:0.87.26 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-proposed/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:0.87.24 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages 3) After the Update icon appeared in the notification tray I clicked on it and the Update Manager window appeared. I then clicked on the "Install Updates" button and I expected to be greeted with a password dialog box. 4) The Update Manager window became non-responsive and no password dialog box appeared. This worked fine in Gutsy (although I'm not sure my /etc/hosts file was configured the same way) ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: update-manager Summary: As discovered in bug #188957 if Update Manager cannot resolve its hostname properly it hangs forever without any notice or warning to the user. 1) Description: Ubuntu 8.04 Release: 8.04 2) update-manager: Installed: 1:0.87.26 Candidate: 1:0.87.26 Version table: *** 1:0.87.26 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-proposed/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:0.87.24 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages 3) After the Update icon appeared in the notification tray I clicked on it and the Update Manager window appeared.
