Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
The desk tool update-manager window is displaying a strange message like (my Italian to English translate) "maybe it is not possible to check and download updates!" (see the pic, Italian language using http://img7.imageshack.us/i/updatemanager.png/), and when I click the install updates button, it does not ask me the administrator user password, so it fails and do nothing. I understood that it fails when it is trying to ask me the admin password, because of some strange error, it can not show me the password request form. So I'm looking for an update-manager error log file or I'm trying to launch it in debug mode. I think update-manager is talking bad with AptDaemon and dbus, or my AptDaemon have some problem. In the terminal command line I can see some errors: tai@Tai-Sviluppo-01:~$ update-manager WARNING: can not get name for '<gtk.TextBuffer object at 0xa61a734 (GtkTextBuffer at 0xa2dd560)>'WARNING: can not get name for '<gtk.CellRendererText object at 0xa61a75c (GtkCellRendererText at 0xa2e0390)>' tai@Tai-Sviluppo-01:~$ ubuntu-bug update-manager tai@Tai-Sviluppo-01:~$ [4961:4961:353727933751:ERROR:extension_prefs.cc(734)] Bad or missing pref 'state' for extension 'hpibmhghjndideebpackbdlpncgkcppp' [4961:4961:353727933791:ERROR:extension_prefs.cc(734)] Bad or missing pref 'state' for extension 'lncjcfkpannmofmpgdfoonkniofdnaba' Moonlight: 3.99.0.3 Moonlight: Attempting to load libmoonloaderxpi [4961:5045:353728927070:ERROR:all_status.cc(117)] Unrecognized Syncer Event: 7 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: update-manager 1:0.142.23 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-28.50-generic-pae 2.6.35.11 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-28-generic-pae i686 Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Apr 24 10:46:53 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release i386 (20101007) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANG=it_IT.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: update-manager ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 maverick -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769800 Title: update-manager fails when asking the admin password -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
