[Bug 1003950] Re: launcher does not show minimized update manager while clicked

 

Eric Lambart, did you close the app by right clicking on the launcher
icon and choosing "Exit" from the menu, before trying to launch it?

To find the app, you have two options:

1. or write "software update" (without the final "r") in the dash (Super
key OR Super+A, not Super-R).

2. choose "System details" (I dont know the exact translation, but
should be the first menu item) from the "gear" menu in the top right
corner. Then click the button in bottom right corner, if updates are
available.

About the crashes, it's off topic for this bug, so please report it as a
separate bug report. However, since I had similar problems, I can say
you that it's probably a problem with the video drivers. Here's a couple
of references that helped me to solve them:

Bug description:
  Update manager is showing up in the dock but I can click on the icon
  all day and nothing happens. Similarly if I do Super-S or Super-W it
  doesn't show up anywhere.

  Even if I alt-tab to the application nothing shows up. This happens
  only when update manager runs on its own. If I kill it and then launch
  it myself it comes to the foreground just fine.

  I'm not 100% sure whether this is a unity, compiz, or update-manager
  bug but so far my bet is on unity.
