More minor points - The upgrade that was happening seemed to complete fine. No packages were in a half-installed or unconfigured state, and every available update was completed. (And as I said, the update-manager UI didn't go away.)
It looks like gnome-settings daemon was missing, possibly crashed, at the time I saw the apport window. The g-s-d process wasn't running. I realized this when apport started firefox, the UI styling wasn't normal. I don't know if gnome-settings-daemon went down for reasons of its own, and triggered a problem in the update-manager UI. More on that if I think of anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628104 Title: Doing and update and canceling it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/628104/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
