Like the title says the Update Manager doesn't show up automatically,like it used to do, when there are available updates.To be more specific ,the only way I can update my packages/installed programs is either via Terminal or run open manually the Update Manager.Does anybody know how can I fix that?

Follow this tutorial to display hidden startup applications. Then head to Startup Applications
and look whether Update Notifier
is checked:
Activate the entry, if it isn't.
Edit: If the entry doesn't exist at all click add
and enter the following:
If that doesn't work, head to /etc/cron.daily
and make sure that there is a file named update-notifier-common
.

It seems the Daily checking is activated from the
Update Manager Settings
.Actually I followed the process on the tutorial and the hidden startup programs/services were revealed,but it seems that I do not have an entry with the nameUpdate Notifier
