[Bug 1046563] Re: update-manager never appears on lubuntu precise

[Scott Cowles Jacobs]

I have installed (fresh) Lubuntu 13.10, and despite setting software-
properties-common (repositories) to check for updates daily and display
security updates immediately (weekly for other updates), I have never
once had Update Manager (excuse me - "Software Updater", as it now seems
to be called...) pop up on my screen - I have had to manually select it
from the main menu; just now I was using Synaptic, and noticed some
pkgs. had "update available" symbols by them.  I had had Lubuntu 12.04,
and almost every day had UM pop up saying something was available; now -
never.

Title:
  update-manager never appears on lubuntu precise

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  i have upgraded to 12.04.1 and I've recently noticed that update-
  manager no longer prompts to install updates.  Previous to 12.04.1, it
  was mostly popping up every day.

  To reproduce, run the cron script and see if update-manager comes up,
  which it won't.

  to fix the bug, update-manager should show updates when they are
  available.

  I believe that update-manager works properly on a default install of
  lubuntu 12.04.  however, once it runs and updates to the new update
  manager, update manager turns itself off.
