[Bug 1246364] Re: update-notifier does not show a tray icon in xubuntu

[Eduardo Larroya]

Hi Forest!
I was using the patched version from your PPA (Ubuntu Xenial/Mate Desktop) and worked really well! :)

Since some time ago, the update-notifier is back to the old "ugly"
behaviour, and despite showing the icon, it launches the update
window... :S

I see that a recent system update installed a new version (3.168.3), and
surpassed your version (3.168.2). Do you plan to add the update to your
patched version?

thanks!

  update-notifier does not show a tray icon in xubuntu

Bug description:
  update-notifier does not show a tray icon/notification in xubuntu 13.10 anymore. Instead the software updater window appears minimized, when updates are available.
  Additionally I tried to trigger the 'System Restart Required'-notification manually by adapting /var/run/reboot-required, but no notification was displayed (although it shows up in motd).
  As a side note: I got a 'there is something wrong with updates'-notification by removing update-notifier-common while update-notifier was running.
