Only "works" in a limited sense, meaning it's not useful: [reg [EMAIL PROTECTED] name]:~$ update-notifier --force PID TTY TIME CMD 5756 ? 00:00:04 pulseaudio
Cursor sits just below the last line with no indication of further processing. Yes the icon appears, however, if I stop the process [Ctl-C] the notifier icon disappears. I tried these options, without success too: [reg [EMAIL PROTECTED] name]:~$ /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --force Usage: apt-check [options] apt-check: error: no such option: --force [reg [EMAIL PROTECTED] name]:~$ /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/update-notifier --force /usr/bin/python: '/usr/lib/update-notifier' is a directory, cannot continue and this too failed: [reg [EMAIL PROTECTED] name]:~$ /usr/bin/python update-notifier --force /usr/bin/python: can't open file 'update-notifier': [Errno 2] No such file or directory A.K.A. clutching at straws. If you have any other suggestions I will be glad to try them. Thanks for the interest, it helps knowing it should work.
