kubuntu - Muon problem

[Bumpalot]

Muon Updates Notification Problem:
March 5 to14 2014: Software update screen: after clicking Updates notification;
Window is blank except for at least 5-15 seconds, then screenshot appears.


Clicking More button – drop down menu inactive. But several seconds later Options suddenly appears – was able to start bug report, but was interrupted as System Updates finally completed.
Other times activating New Updates notification -nothing happens for at least 10 seconds, the Muon screen appears, but is blank. After waiting at least 5 seconds, the update list appears. Can anyone explain this?

what ver. of kubuntu are you on ,,,,, thear was a bug/querk like this in one of the older versions, whatever you are on ,,,,, open a terminal and do

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

then wait and see if it keeps acting this way .
