I have Update Notifier enabled in my startup apps and I've checked that update-notifier is actually running, and I have my updates set to check for updates daily and only notify about available updates. However, I never get any notifications despite having updates available. I'm using Unity on 11.04 and I've enabled "all" icons on my top panel.
View 2 RepliesI toyed with my desktop panels, and now I don't see my update notifications, although I can see every thing else. I have the notification area and indicator applt session on my panel but still can't see the update notification, when running "ps -A| grep update-notifier" I find it running.... what am I missing...

The error message was: 'Unknown Error" '<type 'exceptions.SystemError'>' (E:Opening configuration file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99synaptic - ifstream::ifstream (13:Permission denied))' This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies

In my startup following line is present:
update-notifier --startup-delay=60
In my repository settings I have chacked that it should llok for updates daily.
Since update-manager was removed from Debian Jessie, I am looking for something similar or a way to install update-manager for 8.2. I would like a GUI.
I have tried gnome-packagekit, but some of the commands don't appear to work or it seems incomplete and I don't know of a way to test to make sure that it is working.
Other sites recommended to use smartpm. However, I cannot seem to find the plugin xfce4-smartpm-plugin in [Xfce Goodies] that would work as a notifier.
Unattended-upgrades does not meet my specifications, because to my knowledge there is no GUI configuration for this.
Though Debian Jessie is a great distro, I am finding it difficult to recommend to some newer users because it does lack a GUI updater/notifier at this time.
I used ubuntuzilla to install 3.5.2 on my IBM T43 Notebook. I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty with all the newest updates.
But now the update notifier can't stop sending me updates about the OLD firefox. 3.1.? I think... It says "firefox" "firefox-gnome support" etc.
It's really rather annoying, and instead of clicking "update now," I have to filter the old firefox stuff out before I update.
Any way to get that thing to shut up?
Sorry if this has already been posted... kinda slipped my mind to use the search function... but if you don't mind, I'd still like some answers HERE instead of just "USE THE SEARCH, NOOB!" responses.
Just checked... seems to me it hasn't already been posted... unless I'm not searching for the right thing
The update notifier displays as usual but it will no longer "show updates" either when double clicked or when right clicked and the option is highlighted. the other options in the context menu function as normal.
Code:
s7726@blackbox:~$ update-notifier --debug-updates

Using the fallback 'C' locale.

I receive these messages after I enter my user_id and password in Ubuntu 9.04;
"An error occured while loading or saving configuration information for update notifier. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly." then clicking on details box this can be seen;- {Failed to connect configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBIT, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash.

then there's another error message;

My Automatic Bug Reporting Tool has been notifying me of bugs when closing Firefox and VLC. It does not say what to do with the bugs, or any other description thereof. It just gives the status that the bugs are not reported. What do I do with this, please?
View 10 Replies View RelatedA client has a desktop program that uploads images and data to a certain folder where i have a script that imports it to a DB, this all works. But i cant just set it to a hourly cron or have the client run a script after they have uploaded via FTP (the client is not techy).
So I need a way to detect when they have finished uploading all the data via ftp, which i just cant see a way of doing....it would have to be a linux command where it notifies a php script when the client has logged out of ftp, then disables shell access temporarily imports the data they have uploaded then reactivates shell access...but i have no idea what linux commands i would have to look into to get this working.
I've noticed g-p-m refreshes information extremely delayed. Sometimes it takes many many minutes before it notifies me that I'm running on battery. how I can change this refresh rate? I've drained the batteries once recently believing the icon that said 89% less than a minute before the batteries were completely discharged (my battery lasts for about 15-20 minutes).

The issue is if any one send email to abc@ourdomain.com (abc@ourdomain.com the email address which is not exist) it should send failure notification i.e."email does not exist" to the sender.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was configuring my evolution mail client a few days ago, typing in pop3 settings etc but my inbox remained empty, so i removed evolution from my applications and reinstalled it, for one reason or another my mail now loads up into my inbox, unfortunately the notifier (the envelope icon at the top right) now doesnt have evolution on it at all, only the chat program which i dont use. ideally this notifier would 'notify' me when mail arrives but at the moment this does not happen.
View 5 Replies View RelatedRunning 8.0.4LTS. I can't get rid of the Adept Notifier applet because Adept Updater cannot download language-pack-en 1:8.04+20100117. It always comes up with a Requested of "no change". If I do a Request Upgrade it changes to "BREAK (upgrade)", but when I hit Apply Updates, I get the following error:
Could not commit changes - Adept Notifier
There was an error committing changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.
I can live without a new language-pack-en, but I would like to clear it from my Adept Notifier, so I can see when I really do need updates.
I installed the gnome-gmail-notifier today and I noticed that it wasn't translated. Anyone who knows where to ask for a Swedish translation or how to contribute with one? It's a small application so I figure that it won't be much work to translate it. Not that I need to, but I like to have everything in the same language if possible.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI do not use Empathy or Evolution, the default programs used by the messaging panel notifier in GNOME. Rather, I use Skype and Thunderbird for all my needs. Is it possible to change the settings in the panel notifier to use these programs instead? Otherwise, the notifier is completely useless to me and I'd like to remove it individually without removing any of the other panel notifiers that I do use, which is what happens when I right click it and choose "Remove from panel."

why notifier just stopped working? I've tried with several devices that all worked previously.
why I am not getting sound (.wav) with Gmail. I am running PCLOS2010.1 and using the Firefox browser. Sound was OK prior to upgrading to PCLOS2010.1. Users of the PCLOS forum have not come forward.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUpgraded to 11.04 a few weeks ago and after some tweaking found a way to adjust to the Unity shell. When I initially upgraded Im certain that when Evolution alerted me of an upcoming event, that the mail alert icon on the top panel would change to indicate the pending event. However, for the last few days Ive noticed that when Evolution alerts trigger I see the alert bubble, which quickly fades, but the mail alert icon does not change. If Im not right at my workstation when the alert triggers its easy to miss upcoming events. I googled around for a solution, but found nothing or missed it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI did a fresh install of 11.2 (giving OpenSUSE a try after being on Ubuntu for years). I then enabled the community and packman repos. Now, I have noticed that the eject button that normally appears on the Device Notifier plasmoid is gone. I can still click on where that button should be and the device (CD in this case) will still eject. It's just that the button is "invisible."
View 2 Replies View RelatedIm running suse 11.4 on my laptop, everything was ok, this morning, I've attached two or three usb flashes to my laptop and mounted them by device notifer but after an hour, I've attached another usb flash and device notifer stopped working for any usb device or cd/dvd rom actions...

I'm using OpenSuse 11.4 (x86_64) with KDE 4.
It's not possible to mount external USB (ntfs) disks with a non-root user using the Device Notifier or Dolphin. The error is:
Could not mount the following device: MyBook 2
org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.PermissionDenied: Authentication is required
It is a permission problem; running Dolphin under root and clicking the USB disk mounts it without problems. The same should be possible to an ordinary user. The Update Applet does not work for the same reason (I can only install updates using yast).
Of course, I googled the error and there were a number of possible solutions, which I all tried. That includes allowing the action in the policy and adding the user in AdminIdentities local-authority. The file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy contains "yes" for every option. Needless to say it doesn't make sense and I'm out of options.
OpenSuse 11.4 32bit KDE 4.6.0
When I plug in my 8 GB SanDisk Cruzer USB stick into my desktop box, the KDE Device Notifier fails to recognize it. It will recognize every other USB stick. "fsck" reports no errors. I can mount it manually. I can read and write to it. The Device Notifier on my netbook recognizes it. So does another desktop box. By the way this started recently so I suspect some software update.

I have OpenSuSE 11.2, and I am learning Bash scripting. I was wondering how I would make a bash program, That I could have it check multiple craigslist sites [western mass, worcester mass, etc], e.g. in the Free category, and/or enter keywords, and have it update every 5 minutes, and then post the results somewhere, to a file, or even upload it to a server, or if it's even possible? (Kind of like the program "Ad Notifier for Craigslist") Would I have to do this in C/C++? If it has to be done in C/C++ It would have to be windows compatible preferably.
