[Bug 414181] Re: "Install Updates" button does nothing when Update Manager opened by itself

[Craig Hansen]

I continue to see this problem under 12.04, however the workaround has
become a learned behavior. It's only because I sometimes fail to
remember to press the check button that I continue to see the bug. It's
been three years since 9.04. Another year or so and  I'll be so well
trained that I won't even notice that the bug ever gets fixed. (Sorry if
that comes off as snide, but I'm trying to find the humor in the
situation.)

  "Install Updates" button does nothing when Update Manager opened by

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 9.04, Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.10

  Update manager loads periodically and informs of new updates available.  Clicking "Install Updates" button does nothing.
  The expected behavior (for this user) is that it ask for administrative password and then install the updates.
  However, if the "Check" button is clicked, then Admin Pass is requested, check is performed, and "Install Updates' button becomes active.

  Once learned this is only an annoyance.  If this is the correct
  behavior, the install updates button should be greyed or a notice
  given to recheck before installing.

  WORKAROUND:
  click "check updates" before clicking on "install"
