Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
----
Summary: When running update-manager as root, the "Restart" button does not work. (Tested and confirmed on 10.04, 10.10, 11.04)
----
----
To reproduce: Just run update-manager as root from the CLI. When asked, press the "Restart" button. (Must have installed updates that require a reboot.)
----
After (eg) upgrading the kernel, update-manager will tell me the PC needs to reboot. But when I click the Restart button, nothing happens.
I've got auto-login set if case that is relevant, but IIRC on another PC running Maverick I have the same problem with no auto-login.
