[Toni Elias]

I am positive that I did a reboot.

Please note that the request to reboot was gone after doing the following:
Press "Restart now" and reboot the computer manually.

Title:
  The "Restart Now" button in Software Updater does not restart the
  system

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Every time the Software Updater application (from the update-manager
  package) has finished updating "core" packages like the kernel, it
  says that the computer needs to restart to finish installing updates.
  In that window, clicking on the "Restart Now" button brings up the
  restart pop-up ("The system will restart automatically in 60 seconds")
  but clicking on "Restart" on that pop-up does not do anything and the
  Software Updater application closes as if it just crashed. The system
  does not restart.

  The restart pop-up looks the same as the one brought up by the "Power
  Off" menu in GNOME when clicking on the "Restart..." option.

  When launching Software Updater with the Terminal (/usr/bin/update-
  manager --debug) it prints messages up until the message that says
  that the computer needs to restart shows up, but nothing from that
  moment on.
