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

[Alfredzo Nash]

This issue is still confirmed in 12.04.4 LTS after following the steps
here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/QuantalUpgrades. The update
manager does not look for 12.10 upgrade.  Additionally, I checked /etc
/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal and the "P" in
prompt is lowercase. Please advise

Title:
  "Install Updates" button does nothing when Update Manager opened by
  itself

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Triaged
Status in Software Updater:
  Invalid
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Occurs in: Ubuntu 9.04, Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.10, Ubuntu 12.04
  Does not occur in: Ubuntu 12.10

  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"
