I am not able to change system settings.Suppose i go to settings and want to auto-hide the dock then it doesn't work i.e.,whenever i click on OFF button ,it goes into ON state but again comes to OFF state.This happens to almost all the settings.Second software updater application is launching automatically repeatedly all the time.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Bug reporting is mostly about finding & fixing problems thus preventing future users from hitting the same bug.

I suspect a Support site would be more appropriate, eg. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu. You can also find help with your problem in the support forum of your local Ubuntu community http://loco.ubuntu.com/ or asking at https://askubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org, or for more support options please look at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/community-support/709

(You've filed this bug against the documentation, but haven't provided the page/link where the problem is. This is likely just filed against the wrong package (ie. I note you're using GNOME so maybe your issue is with the GNOME and not documentation about the Ubuntu/GNOME Desktop; but I suspect you'd what you're after faster by seeking support)

Not a docs bug at least. Closing.
