[Bug 925260] Re: Update Manager icon appears on the launcher when updates are available, clicking on it does not bring up the update-manager.

[Todd Wilson]

Each new release leaves me hoping that this problem will get fixed.
Alas, the problem still persists for 14.04.

Given that it has been reported and re-reported consistently since
11.04, and yet still has Undecided importance and is Unassigned, it
makes me wonder about the mechanism that's used to move the process
along. For example, is there someone looking at this that decides that
it's too low priority to act on? Or is it not being noticed at all? Is
there any way to find this out?

I personally have no experience with the relevant codebase, but if
someone could help lower the barrier to entry by providing some pointers
to where or what the issue might be, I'd be motivated to look into it,
as I guess some others might be as well.

Title:
  Update Manager icon appears on the launcher when updates are
  available, clicking on it does not bring up the update-manager.

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

Bug description:
  My Update Manager in 11.10 never opens correctly, unless I am in GNOME3 instead of Unity. When new updates appear, the icon shows on the dash, but the window never opens when I click on it. I can right-click and say "Install Updates" or "Check for Updates," which is all good because it does what it is supposed to with those two features, but it gets really annoying because I cannot choose which updates to not install! Please fix this problem ASAP!
  The same problem appears every time I reinstall Ubuntu 11.10 on this machine, but the Update Manager works fine on every other 11.10 machine I use. It is very frustrating.
