Thanks for your bugreport. This is on ubuntu 11.10, correct? Could you please check if you have the "policykit-1-gnome" package installed? When its missing update-manager can't put up the permission dialog.
is there anything else unusual about your system. There is one output releated to network-manager. Do you have this package installed ? And if so, is it generally working? Anything else that might be unusual about the system and give us a clue what causes the error? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891255 Title: Update impossible with update-manager -- loses connection to daemon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/891255/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
