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

[Craig Hansen]

Ubuntu 12.04 comfirmed still has this bug. Ubuntu 12.04 still supposed to be supported until April 2017.
Regrettably, this bug was submitted in 2009, and if the policy is to ignore bugs that aren't addressed in 60 days, this system is really just a mockery of the idea of support. This bug has been studiously reported, comfirmed, upgraded, downgraded, pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed,  numbered, marked incomplete, and now expired. 

I hereby propose changing it back to "confirmed."

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

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Invalid
Status in Software Updater:
  Invalid
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

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"
