I fixed it (at least for me). I started the notifier under the console and got this message:
adept_notifier: checking cache for upgradable packages... adept_notifier: error checking cache for upgradable packages... adept_notifier: what: ERROR: The list of sources could not be read. I went digging, and found that all my *.list files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d were owned root.root and had 600 permissions. I'm not sure *why* they were that way, but somehow they had been created that way. I chmod'ed them 604 and started notifier: nice green circle. So, it would appear adept_notifier wants to be able to read *all* the source lists, which only makes sense. -- notifier keeps notifying about available updates after fetching updates https://launchpad.net/bugs/33861 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
