When upgrading is completed, the update notification icon in the system tray will disappear and your system is completely up-to-date. You may wish to reboot, as the update contains new versions of some restricted drivers for wireless and the kind. The reason that this bug does not appear in LinuxMint, is because it has implemented the bug fix in the install-cd, whereas Kubuntu needs to be updated for the fix to be applied.
