Comment 11 for bug 549217

This bug is serious if it's valid, but it's not yet clear that it is valid. What would help most next is for someone to do the work of writing precise steps to reproduce the problem, starting from a pristine installation of 10.04 (or a pristine installation of 9.10 upgraded to 10.04). Currently these steps are missing from this report and from both its duplicates.

Since 9.04, Ubuntu has not tried to use the notification area to advertise updates; it opens the updates window directly. So Bruno Girin's steps are incorrect, and so is the reference to "tray notifications" in the current description.
