I am not a 100% sure if this is a problem caused by the "update-manager" package or "update-notifier" or unity.
If needed I can reproduce this the next time there are updates available and report it to some other package or enhance this report. I have also used cli for some years so let me know if I can do anything else.
I have also seen that there are several "popular bug reports" that look similar but I am going to go by the guideline that duplicate reports are not a bad thing and the developer knows better if it is a duplicate or not.
I have had this bug for a while.
I have checked and these are things that do not let me see the update manager window itself:
* Click
* Double click
* Alt+tab (I can see the icon in the list)
* I do not have second monitor attached. I have had it configured at some point in the past
* It is not on any of the other workspaces
I can also see the process in pstree output:
| | | |-update-manager,16121 /usr/bin/update-manager --no-update --no-focus-on-map
| | | | |-{update-manager},16128

Running `sudo apt-get update` does not solve the problem. I can also open "software centre" and install software from cli.
I tried to start update-manager from cli without closeing anything but this also does not help. It also doesn't give any output. |

I tried to start update-manager from cli without closeing anything but this also does not help. It also doesn't give any output.
Locking and unlocking to launcher did not do anything.
I can choose Install all available updates from the right-click menu and this works. Process called "update-apt-xapi" is stared and updates are installed. Also the package manager is locked for that time. (can not update package index at the same time).
Quit option from the right click menu works. After quitting I can start the update-manager from cli and now it is fully functional. |
