update manager crashed

[Ryan Blazecka]

Binary package hint: update-manager

update manager crashed while my machine was just sitting there. I have 7 updates available. I have a pretty clean install of ubuntu (just installed a week or two ago).

update manager has been acting funny today. it tells me which updates are available, but when I want to find out what the changes for the update are, it just sits there, eventually (after several minutes) saying it was unable to download the update description.

There is a s erver problem. That is why you cannot recieve changelogs.

So it crashed while trying to download th changelog?

[Ryan Blazecka (ryanblazecka-gmail)]

no. I commented about the problems downloading the changelogs because that was the only other unusual thing that was going on with my computer, and so I figured it was worth including in the bug report. I did suspect it was a server issue, so I had opened up update manager several times over a period of several hours, seeing if the changelogs were available. but they never were (and still aren't).

but at the time of the crash, my computer was idle. the update manager window was not open and hadn't been for awhile, I just had the notifier sitting in my task bar. I didn't have any other apps open. I was away doing other stuff, and when I came back, it had the crash report window up.
