View 1 Replies View RelatedOn my previous FC7 boxes, I got icons in the top panel advising me that package updates were available (which I then installed with yum update). With F10, I sometimes briefly see a PackageKit icon in the top panel (not sure what it's advising me of), which disappears after a second or two - easily missed if I'm briefly distracted by something...
F10's Update System option nicely displays info about available security, bug fix and enhancement updates, so long as I remember to select this menu option. But there is nothing at boot or login time which tells me that there are updates available.
Is there some configuration setting I need to adjust to get notifications of new updates when available? There doesn't seem to be any service I can turn on to achieve this outcome.
Just an update on this - I've been away from my F10 box for a couple of hours, and upon return, I have a "Security updates available" popup! I left the box about half an hour after login - no popup at that time - how long should it take to see this popup if security updates are available? And what about if only bug fixes or enhancements are available - should there be some notification of this?
I have those notifications bubbles that appear right and top of my Screen.
Besides being RIDICULOUSLY big, i don't need them
I don't know if it is the same, but they look like this:
NOTE THIS PICTURE IS JUST AN EXAMPLE I FOUND ON THE INTERNETS - I WANT TO DISABLE ALL NOTIFICATIONS
For some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.
I just learned that warsow 0.6 is out, and went to see if it was available in the ubuntu software center yet, as opposed to going and downloading and installing it manually from the warsow website. The ubuntu repo's still have version 0.5, and at the bottom of the page it says:
"Updates: Canonical does not provide updates for Warsow. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."
So if I wanted to 'update' this item in the repo's for the better of the community what would that entail?
There are some updates in the Update Manager list which I do not install. Among them, some drivers for HP Printers (I don't know why this cropped up; I don't even use printers on my laptop), and gcj updates (I use gcc/g++ but not gcj). I unchecked them the first time I saw them on my UM list. However, for every subsequent batch of new updates, UM retains these updates and I need to uncheck them every time. How can I remove them totally from my UM list?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSo, it is my understanding that Ubuntu's automatic updates do not install ANY updates that are not "important security updates." For example, it did not upgrade me to Firefox 4 automatically; I had to do it myself (Don't all new browser versions usually contain new security features/patches? Oh well...That is a separate question entirely).
ANYWAY, is there some way to get the latest stable versions of all of my open-source software automatically (or at least all at once, on command), instead of just security updates? It seems silly to have to install new versions for every program manually.
Also, related/side question: Now that I have installed Firefox 4 myself (via apt-get by adding the mozilla-stable PPA), will I stop getting security updates for Firefox through the standard Ubuntu update manager?
Actually, a really thorough explanation of the whole automatic update system (or a link to one) would be great too.
I installed Lucid Lynx a week ago and I have a problem with the notifications. The notifications that appear on the screen stay for a long time, about 10 seconds. How to control these notifications so that I can reduce the time?

View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to log the notifications that show up in the desktop? For example:
a)When pidgin notifies you that you have a new message can you "save" that notification?
b)When transmission informs you that a torrent finished downloading can you log that notification?
Or if you can't log them can you make a script that "catches" those notifications? What I want to do is that when a certain notification pops it triggers an app or a script. So if I can log the notifications I can "watch" for changes in the log file and trigger something; or if can "catch" the notification I could also do that. I think it can, somehow, be done with d-bus but I can't find my way around the documentation.
In ubuntu Natty with the notification pop ups like for when the song changes in Banshee, they are in my top right corner. Is there anyway to move them?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use pidgin for IRC regularly and am wondering if there is a way for it to show notifications when others talk?
I have "others talk in chat" selected for the sound notifications, but I'd really like it to use the visual notifications (the notification applet?), like it does when I'm chatting with someone over IM. Is that possible?
I'm running standard ubuntu 9.10
How can I change the positions for the notifications? It is at a weired place after installing 10.4 and I need to move it. I have been googling about it and it seems like the position is hard coded in the source code, can this really be true? If it is, I am starting to question my decision to use Ubuntu. How can i serous skilled developer hard code something like that in the source code? Can I trust the developer to know what he is doing?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I receive an instant message from someone and I click on the mail icon and click on their message to open it, their message is multiplied. For instance, if someone says:"Hey, what's up?"
And I click on their message to open it in the messaging menu, this is what will appear: "Hey, what's up? Hey, what's up?"...Take a look at the screenshot to see this in action. This happens in Empathy on Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit.
I've noticed when someone calls attention to my name in xchat or if I get an instant message, I don't get a notification about it unless I happen to go into the dash. Then I see someone highlighted my name or instant messaged me. Is anybody else having this?

I'm running CentOS 5.4 and noticed that for the past month there haven't been any new updates showing up either on 'yum check-update' or 'yum update' (I'm interested in basic and security updates). Although this may be right, I wonder if there is an online reference where I can check the updates that are released for CentOS (security bulletins) and make sure if there is anything wrong with my update system.
