Hmm. Interesting. <br><br>I had a problem some time ago when it did the same thing to me, it turns out that the update-notifier program was launching before my wireless had established a connection. This was causing it to try and connect to the internet and then immediately close after a short timeout period.<br>
<br>Mind you, I have been running Intrepid since Alpha 6, updating it daily and have not experienced this problem at all. What version are you running?<br><br>Try the following and see if it matches your output. <br><br>blake@ibmt40:~$ ps aux |grep update<br>
blake 3570 0.0 0.1 3240 800 pts/0 S+ 17:25 0:00 grep update<br>blake 6467 0.0 2.9 27444 15284 ? S Oct29 0:02 update-notifier<br>blake@ibmt40:~$ <br><br>If you don't have update-notifier running then it may be quitting prior to establishing a connection like I mentioned earlier.<br>

Hi Dave,<br>
<br>
Can't help you with the first two off the top of my head, but with the update manager, check under System > Preferences > Session and make sure the command 'update-manager' is invoked at session start up. It may have been removed for some reason.<br>
<br>
