When I run the command "sudo spi -U", it runs fine and does the update as expected. Below is the screenshot of the output. So, when I click the system tray icon for update notifier, for some reason, the sudo or gksu prompt is not launching.

[SOLVED] Update Notifier not working
Re: Update Notifier not working
What happens if you do
Are you asked for your password?
Code: Select all
gksu ls
Re: Update Notifier not working
Yes, when I run "gksu ls", I am prompted for the root password.

Re: Update Notifier not working
How about (in a fresh terminal)
?
That is what the notifier does when you click on it. Now, there is nothing to update, so you should just see it open.
Code: Select all
gksu gslapt

Re: Update Notifier not working
But, this is not happening which is why I entered the post. When I click the update notifier from System tray, I get the dialog box for "Proceed with updating?". When I click Yes, nothing happens. However, if I run the command "sudo spi -U", it is able to find the updates and installs fine. Something is not working correctly with the update notifier. I am not sure of a way to debug this.

Re: Update Notifier not working
You didn't answer my question. I'm trying to work out what it is that isn't working, which at this remove, can be a bit tedious, I know.

Re: Update Notifier not working
Is this a 14.2 install, or an older Salix version, or upgraded from an older one?mimosa wrote: Can you remember when you started seeing this behaviour, and anything you did at the time (just beforehand) to change anything?
Also, it may be worth trying:
Code: Select all
sudo slapt-get -i --reinstall salix-update-notifier
Re: Update Notifier not working
It was a 14.2 install, installable CD/DVD (not live cd).
I am at work right now. Once I get to home, I will try re-installing the update notifier.

Re: Update Notifier not working
I just had such a problem in Slackel. Update-Notifier could not find
zenity even so it was present. I upgraded zenity and Update-Notifer
worked again.
The way I found this out, on a terminal I typed salix-upgrade-notifier
and it said it cannot find zenity.
