Hi there...

I was wondering anyone knows if/why the yum update notification applet (the one displaying an icon on a panel when new updates are available) has been removed in SL5. And if yes, is anyone is aware of have it back on a brand new SL5 machine?


Not near an SL5 box at the moment, IIRC its in the yumex-applet package. See what this returns...
# rpm -qa | sort -f > ~/rpmqa.log
# grep -i rhn-applet ~/rpmqa.log
# grep -i yum-applet ~/rpmqa.log
# grep -i yumex ~/rpmqa.log
# yum search yumex

No yumex-applet? Was it removed, renamed or merged with another package in SL5?
