Public bug reported: update-notifier is not working any more on our 14.04 machines (about 150). It is not showing available updates and not showing stuff from user.d This is what i get from debugging:
``` update-notifier --debug-inotify --debug-hooks --debug-misc --debug-uevent ** (update-notifier:5751): DEBUG: trayapplet_create() (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: init_already_seen_hooks (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: reading hook_file: /data/home/mlehsten/.config/update-notifier/hooks_seen (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: check_update_hooks() (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: reading '/var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/' dir (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: investigating file 'apt-file-update' (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: is_hook_relevant(): apt-file-update (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: not relevant: 'apt-file-update' (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: investigating file 'bla-data-center-client' (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: is_hook_relevant(): bla-data-center-client (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: not relevant: 'bla-data-center-client' (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: investigating file 'bla-java8-repo' (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: is_hook_relevant(): bla-java8-repo (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: not relevant: 'bla-java8-repo' (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: investigating file 'incomplete-language-support-gnome.note' (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: is_hook_relevant(): incomplete-language-support-gnome.note (update-notifier:5751): hooks-DEBUG: not relevant: 'incomplete-language-support-gnome.note' ** (update-notifier:5751): DEBUG: tray_applet_ui_destroy: hook-notifier ** (update-notifier:5751): DEBUG: trayapplet_create() ** (update-notifier:5751): DEBUG: crashreport_check ``` If i run the same with --force i get at least an icon for installing updates. I tried touching the relevant files like: sudo touch /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp and sudo touch /var/lib/update-notifier/user.d/bla-java8-repo but this doesent help either. Any Suggestions? Why is it that update-notifier sees all the Hooks a not relevant? How do i ensure that a Hook is relevant? P.S: Just for the record, we have no avahi running. ** Affects: update-notifier (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1376693 Title: update-notifier not showing updates To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1376693/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
