I am using Hardy Heron 8.04
I have noticed the application launcher icon for the update manager intermittently appear in the top right hand corner of the desktop.
There is no prompt for a password, and I noted the following:
0) The system monitor indicated the thread was 'sleeping';
1) No download activity was apparent;
2) In 'System>Administration>Software Sources', the 'download all updates in the background' was _unchecked_
I assume this is a zombie thread with possible security implications.
Is this problem unique to my box or is it more common?
