Hi, Julien.
Early in this thread (as below), it seemed like the problem might be
related to that bug, but even after getting update-notifier running by
one means or another, I find that I'm never automatically offered the
updates.
Or rather, to be precise, I was automatically offered updates *once*, on
an occasion when I manually ran "dbus-launch update-notifier." (I have
tested various methods of starting update-notifier, and this was one of
them.)
But for testing purposes, I have not installed any updates since 5/8 so
that they should be reliably offered to me if things were working
right. A manual run of update-manager now offers 83 MB.
This is on a laptop. A day or two ago I also installed 14.04 on a
desktop (plain vanilla configuration), got update-notifier running via a
workaround, and was not automatically offered updates there either.
Despite these observations, do you think that lxsession or another of
the packages from the staging PPA will fix the problem?

It's the same bug that the network icon not showing on the panel. Please see :

https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/staging for the fix.
And be sure to not have autostarted disable in lxsession-default-apps.

I don't find the issue in the Lubuntu or Ubuntu 14.04 Release Notes, but it
seems like 14.04 is subject to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1046563,
reported for 12.04, in which automatic updating fails.
I was noticing that I wasn't being prompted to install software updates. I
ran Software Updater (update-manager) manually once and got a big batch of
updates. I ran it manually again today and it identified another batch that
I could get. It included updates for Software Updater, so perhaps that will
fix the problem.
There is a big discussion of the problem at
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2222325. And beyond the
notification problem, a number of people report seeing big differences
between the updates identified by update-manager and Synaptic.
