I've wondered that same thing as I watch messages scroll by (when I happen to have not looked away from the terminal). Some upgrades have all kinds of advisories tucked into that scrolling that rips by. Unattended upgrades always come to mind as a place for where those messages would go unseen. It has also come to mind that users have admin emails sent to them as a potential remedy. It's on my to-do to play around with those emails to see if that catches those upgrade messages.. PS I've seen those dbus ones rip by. Seems like I played with restarting something related in just the last couple weeks. I don't remember the experience feeling very successful. :D Cindy :) -- Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *
