debian update-notifier
Hi
I don't get an update-nofitication icon automatically on the gnome desktop. The package update-notifier is installed. I also ran 'software-properties' and the option 'check for updates automatically' is set on daily. To get the notification I need to run 'apt-get update' and then after a minute the icon appears on the desktop. thanks |
My position is that the update-notifier is for people who are mainly concerned that Linux should be "just like windows." It'll never see the light of day on any system that I use or assist in maintaining.
Once a week, or so, ... # aptitude update # aptitude full-upgrade ... will keep you current. If you've been using the obsolete apt-get, you should run "# aptitude keep-all" once before converting to aptitude. If you use Gnome, I suppose you could activate the update-notifier using the gnome-applets GUI app. |
