Muon and updates help

[natman]

Hi,
Just done a fresh install of Kubuntu 11.10, that was yesterday and laptop have been on for while and connected to the internet, but yet no update notification icon.
I ran

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

this showed me

166 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
Need to get 78.6 MB of archives.
After this operation, 35.0 MB of additional disk space will be used.

So this means there are updates right? why dont i see a little green cog/gear in the icon tray to tell me? I looked at the settings in muon and they are set to check daily for updates.

I had the same problem. Check to see if you have muon-updater and muon-notifier installed. By the way, no more green cog, now there is brown package icon.

Re: Muon and updates help

The fact there was no upgrade icon could be because you selected 'download upgrades' as part of the installation?
My experience with Muon is not quite clear yet but it seems it's 24h upgrade cycle is triggered by more than just the fact the clock passes onto a new date.


The results of your attempt to manually upgrade looks a bit fishy but first try this:

After the:

sudo apt-get update

a completer upgrade is achieved with:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

The efficient way is:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Hi,
Ya i did the suggested terminal commands for updates, and applied the updates, restarted the system, checked i have muon notifier and stuff and i do - also checked in muon that its set to give me a taskbar icon.
But yet nothing! i tried sudo apt-get update ... its telling me there are some updates availible, but still no taskbar icon.

Re: Muon and updates help

I have the same issues as the OP.
I have not received update notifications since first installing 11.10 and have waited 72 hours previously without result.
I have tried reinstalling *anything* muon related without success.

Re: Muon and updates help

Ok i just did a reinstall of muon-notifier, still no icon to inform me of updates - which are available to me. Does anyone else have this issue apart from me and bra|10 ?
Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Muon and updates help

I've been running Muon for some time and I only get update notifications when there are updates available at the time I reboot. I had a similar problem way back with kde-update-notifier.
