I think update-manager? One of the standard GUI updater things.

Here's a chunk of ps -AF --forest that might help:

Title:
  (trusty, debconf passthrough) package shim-signed
  1.17~14.04.1+0.8-0ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess
  installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Terminated)

Status in shim-signed package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm not really sure whether this is a bug; I think the install was
  hanging for a while, with a blank window displaying. I killed the
  install and it went away, but it's certainly plausible that this is
  due to something local, not a bug. Feel free to close this if nobody
  else is seeing it.
