Update Manager freezes.

Binary package hint: yelp

Update Manager in Jaunty simply freezes up. I can't close it, I can't restart it and if I restart Jaunty (9.04) it comes up and then freezes up. I've got it set to automatically start with Ubuntu, so if there are any updates it prompts for authorisation to install. I can't change the settings in 'Software Sources' as this freezes up too.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks for your bugreport.

Could you please open it in a terminal window and let me know if it prints anything to the terminal
(open e.g. gnome-terminal and then type: "update-manager")

Hi,
This problem was resolved the other day, I'd actually read somewhere about running update manager in terminal so after Ubuntu started up (after running it's scheduled scan) it worked and seems to have fixed itself!
There was about a week's worth of updates, so once it had installed it was working great.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Jon
