To the best of my recollection, I left the selection as the top one as 
indicated in the screenprint.

Anyway, I left the system for a few hours and when I returned the screen 
was blank.  Pressing the shift key woke the system up, but the update 
manager windows were blank.  I used the applications, system,  log out 
menu to restart the system. I got the screenprints by running via Remote 
Desktop Viewer from a U10.04 system. Mythbuntu left screen capture out 
of their install, pity.

I searched the regular Ubuntu forums and found others were having 
problems with Update Manager.  I had a similar problem in late 2012 with 
another update manager run.  I have been out of town for about 3 months.

This morning, I used the command line to run apt-get update; apt-get 
upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade as was advised on the regular forum. There 
were several updates and no problems noted.

Regards;
John
