Update manager hangs

Same problem here. I have to close it using `xkill`.

Manually upgrading the system fixed this issue in mine

Possibly a duplicate of 12201 (have you tried to run it from a terminal?)

This is different, it's all frozen, not just the missing changelog which is annoying too. No I didn't try running it from the terminal, might've been a good idea admittedly. These woes might be related though.

I've been having this problem for a few weeks now in 6.0.1. I'm concerned about my system not being up to date.

Attached is an image of the update manager. The screenshot program actually failed to capture one detail accurately: the curser in reality is the round spinning curser, not the white arrow as shown in the image. I don't know why the screenshot program doesn't reproduce this faithfully.

For anyone interested in this problem, there's also a forum post about it here:

Exactly, it looks frozen when you run it from the graphical interface. Run it from the console and it might tell you why

ignore this one... o_O

Here's the output of a hung update manager from the terminal.

Edit: That got mangled by the forum, so as an attachment...

I haven't tried the patch for https://trisquel.info/en/issues/12201, but it seems to address the problem manifested in that output.txt file.

kpengboy & GustavoCM you're right. I just had the updater hang and then applied the patch a Lo and Behold! It worketh!

(To apply the patch you need to save the proposed patch file from bug #12201 and then copy it to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (needs root permissions), cd to that folder and finally run patch -p1 (again needs root perms).)

As per above, this is a duplicate of: #12201: update-manager broken on failure to get changelog
