Michael, update-notifier is running:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ ps ax |grep update-notifier 6174 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep update-notifier and I have a notification area in the panel which is showing other notification icons. Concerning your other request, the program to run is apt-check (did you mispelled it?). Here it is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check ; echo "" Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 4 Does it helps? Thanks Fabio -- update-manager doesn't detect updates available https://launchpad.net/bugs/94078 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
