This bug has been patched, but not actually "fixed". The bug is ages old and it's time we as a community and the development team lay this issue to rest once and for all with a redesigned mechanism for updating, code and all. It's time we fix the solution to get Ubuntu going smoothly for all rather than patch the tire that gets us a little while down the road.
Attached is a hardinfo report on my machine.

Similarly if I do Super-S or Super-W it doesn't show up anywhere. Even if I alt-tab to the application nothing shows up. This happens only when update manager runs on its own. If I kill it and then launch it myself it comes to the foreground just fine. I'm not 100% sure whether this is a unity, compiz, or update-manager bug but so far my bet is on unity. =====Original Report===== Bug #877444 is showing again in latest updates, please re-open it.
