[Bug 1246364] Re: regression: update-notifier stopped showing a tray icon in xubuntu and other desktops

[Adrianna Pińska]

This is still a problem for me four years later. I've been using
Forest's patched packages all this time, but now I have also
inadvertently upgraded to the newer Xenial version. I agree that it's
ridiculous to expect Forest to keep maintaining a parallel fork forever.
Is there any process that we can use to ask the maintainers to re-
evauluate this design decision?

Title:
  regression: update-notifier stopped showing a tray icon in xubuntu and
  other desktops

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in update notifier:
  New
Status in update-notifier package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
