Description fujisan 2008-02-29 04:06:07 UTC

I recently noticed that when there are updates available, no icon appears in the notification area. I found out that packagekitd was not running in the background. Appearently it exits after some seconds.


I could easily update the packages with 'pkcon update-system'

Below some outputs:

Comment 1 Richard Hughes 2008-02-29 07:44:26 UTC

Sure, the daemon is suppost to exit when it's not doing anything - it gets automatically started the next time one of the client tools checks for updates. Are you running pk-update-icon in the user session? Could you try changing the updae frequency to hourly and seeing if PackageKit notices updates?

Comment 2 fujisan 2008-03-01 08:17:00 UTC

OK

it works now. I changed the update freq to hourly.
