I have my "Software Sources" configuration set to check for updates daily and nothing has shown up for the last few days. I logged into XFCE and automatically I had a notification of several updates available. I logged back into LXDE and nothing showed up.
It wasn't until I ran update-manager in terminal that I got the list of available updates, but no actual tray notification. Is there a way to set this to work as one would expect?
update-manager daemon not starting daily/weekly
Re: update-manager daemon not starting daily/weekly
Apparently, it's a ubuntu bug. Please report it to ubuntu developers on launchpad.
Look at:
/etc/xdg/autostart/update-notifier.desktop
There is a line inside this file read like this:
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;
Because they arbitrarily add this key, it never works in other desktops.
This line should be changed to:
NotShowIn=KDE;
Then, it will work perfectly under GNOME, XFCE, and LXDE.
Please get this ubuntu bug reported.
