I am having an issue where if I click on the settings option in Update Manager the app simply reloads itself but never takes me to the settings menu. I have attempted (possibly incorrectly as I am very new to Ubuntu) to uninstall/reinstall the application with no change. Any ideas? On 12.04 if that matters. Thanks.

From a terminal
software-properties-gtk and post whatever it outputs.

Could you post the output from a terminal for
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list

Yea, because that sounds a little disconcerting, was it like this when you installed Ubuntu?

No, I know for a fact it worked fine before I updated to 12.04 from 11.10. I am pretty sure it worked after the update as well but am not 100% confident there.

Those sources look ok as they all seem to be valid.I am not really sure what to do next to get Software Sources working again.

Do you have a Software Sources launcher in the DASH?

Does that work?
