The Update Manager is just unreliable on my machine and I cannot say why. Update Manager will pop up and tell me something needs to be updated, then I go and click "Install Updates" to proceed. Normally it will ask me for my password and continue to the downloads and installs. But most of the time it will just sit there after I click "Install Updates" and not do anything. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it does not.

Has anyone seen this before?
Any ideas on how to fix this?

I can get my updates through either apt or Synaptic PM but I like the update manager automatically keeping me up to date.

One other thing about this, and I do not know if it is a problem, I keep my account logged in for weeks at a time and the Update Manager may sit there for 12-24 hours before I sit down and click on it.

Thanx
