2014-07-05 23:59:42 Ray DeCampo description Placeholder since launchpad crashed last time ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: update-manager 1:0.196.12 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-30.54-generic 3.13.11.2 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-30-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2 Aptdaemon: Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sat Jul 5 19:52:25 2014 DpkgHistoryLog.txt: DpkgTerminalLog.txt: ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/update-manager GsettingsChanges: b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'show-details' b'true' b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'window-height' b'582' b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'first-run' b'false' b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'window-width' b'444' b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'launch-time' b'1404592982' InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-05-25 (41 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140417) InterpreterPath: /usr/bin/python3.4 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US PATH=(custom, user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: update-manager UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) Describe what happened: I have a system with two users (bob and alice) granted administrator privileges. Both users are typically logged in, using 'switch user' to change between them. The update manager will indicate to user bob that updates are available, but bob ignores the dialog. When alice switches to her desktop, there is an active app on the unity bar for 'Software Updater'. The shortcut is not responsive to clicking or middle-clicking. Running 'update-manager' from the command line has no effect as well. What you expect: The 'Software Updater' app should be responsive for alice allowing her to install the updates. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 $ apt-cache policy update-manager update-manager: Installed: 1:0.196.12 Candidate: 1:0.196.12 Version table: *** 1:0.196.12 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:0.196.11 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: update-manager 1:0.196.12 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-30.54-generic 3.13.11.2 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-30-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.2 Aptdaemon: Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sat Jul 5 19:52:25 2014 DpkgHistoryLog.txt: DpkgTerminalLog.txt: ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/update-manager GsettingsChanges:  b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'show-details' b'true'  b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'window-height' b'582'  b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'first-run' b'false'  b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'window-width' b'444'  b'com.ubuntu.update-manager' b'launch-time' b'1404592982' InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-05-25 (41 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140417) InterpreterPath: /usr/bin/python3.4 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron:  LANGUAGE=en_US  PATH=(custom, user)  XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set>  LANG=en_US.UTF-8  SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: update-manager UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
