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.

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.
