I can trigger this bug by clicking on install and then just wait in the password dialog. Eventually this crash will happen.

Confirmed here as well. Followed Michael's instruction in comment 2. Just let the password dialog hang and the error appears.

Update Manager just crashed when trying to update Ubuntu 11.04. I have just upgraded my computer from an Ubuntu 10.10 install. Apt-get in terminal is working fine.

This is the error it gave: "update-manager crashed with DBusException in _run(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."

I am sure that the network connection wasn't broken.

My hardware is set for constant uptime, and was up for about an hour I
think, however something was making it unstable and I opened a guest
session. All was fine there. When I closed that, and went back, I got the
error.

have problems with a netrbook which I was last able to update 2 weeks
ago. However I will wait until apr 28 and reinstall Xubuntu on it.
