yum-updatesd on F9 (from KDE LiveCD)

Jongi · 07-10-2008, 03:24 PM

so I have it installed and running

Code:

[root@Laptop ~]# chkconfig --list yum-updatesd
yum-updatesd    0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
[root@Laptop ~]# service yum-updatesd status
yum-updatesd (pid 2223) is running...

Yet even when there are updates available (checked with yum check-update), I never see any icon that tells updates are available.

How do I get the icon to show?

There is a icon on the wright side of the task bar it is a open box , when there are updates.

all the best

I know what the icon looks like. It is just never there.

Maybe a silly question one of the option in main menu is software update and here you can choice for a notification
if there is a update
Standard the notification is on , but maybe for one reason or a other is off by you

all the best

Hi Jongi:

I don't know for sure that yum-updatesd actually gives a panel icon. The one ronlau9 is referring to is the packagechit icon. A quick look through the yum-updatesd RPM file list and docs seems to indicate that it can be set up to use dbus notifications of updates - but wouldn't those be pop-up notifications? Not sure.... Any way, since I never use (or like) any kind of auto-updates, I don't need (or like) any kind of notification, so I can't confirm for sure.

Regards,
V

P.S. And I'm running F9-KDE-Live-x86 (installed) on one machine, that's why I posted.

No you configure as a notification or as a notification and updater at yhe same time
