[Bug 989588] Re: update-manager popup is shown on launcher and alt-tab list but window doesn't show up

Fri Dec 7 20:08:39 UTC 2012

I just experienced this in Raring.  Only one X session running, so it
didn't need that two-user scenario.

In this case, choosing Quit from the quicklist is having no effect. The
update-manager process remains, and the Launcher and the alt-tab
switcher still act as if there's an open window.

I notice now that window isn't attached to any of the virtual desktops.
Maybe that's been true all along, and I've just realized it.  I have the
standard four virtual desktops, and on all of them, the Launcher shows
the hollow or outline pip for "open, but not on this desktop."

Similarly, on all of the desktops, plain alt-tab doesn't show update-
manager among the open windows.  But Control-alt-tab, showing windows
from all desktops, always includes it.  Selecting it from this list has
no effect, just like selecting it from the Launcher.  Hm.

  update-manager popup is shown on launcher and alt-tab list but window

Bug description:
  Yesterday I got a "popup" from update-manager that shows on the
  launcher how many updated packages there are available, but left-
  clicking the icon didn't show the window. Alt-tabbing didn't help
  either, so I closed it from the right-click menu and the next time it
  showed I did get a proper popup window.

  Today this happened again, so filing a bug now.

  Steps to reproduce, hastily written:

  0. (create another user account)
  1. login to my main account
  2. lock screen
  3. switch user
  4. update package lists
  5. switch back to main user

  Update-manager window is shown in Launcher and Alt-Tab, but does not
  appear when selected, by either means.

  Closing update-manager from the quicklist, and restarting, makes a
  visible window, as we've said.  Also, starting the upgrade from the
  quicklist worked, and the in-progress dialog appeared normally.  BUT,
  when the upgrade was done, and should return to the main window, that
  window was still inaccessible.

  I don't know if the two-session scenario is the only way this bug
  shows up, currently.  I used to have this problem, under Precise, with
  only one user session.  But I haven't seen that behaviour in a while.
