Bug#808873: cron-apt never runs

Hi Thanks for letting me know. I have added a note about this in the documentation now and uploaded a new version of cron-apt with that note. Cheers, // Ola On Sat, Jan 16, 2016 at 9:54 PM, Jürgen Bausa wrote: > Its a little more complex as I thought first. Running

Bug#808873: cron-apt never runs

Its a little more complex as I thought first. Running systemd /etc/default/anacron seems to be ignored. Instead, /etc/systemd/system/anacron.service needs to be changed like ConditionACPower=false with this change anacron runs even on battery. Jürgen

Bug#808873: cron-apt never runs

Hi Great to know what the problem was! I'll consider mentioning this in the documentation. Odd. Maybe your previous laptop did not properly report it to the operating system? // Ola On Wed, Jan 13, 2016 at 9:20 PM, Jürgen Bausa wrote: > Ok, that hint helped. > > The

Bug#808873: cron-apt never runs

Ok, that hint helped. The problem is, that anacron does not run on battery by default (see Debian Bug report logs - #666390 anacron: change default ANACRON_RUN_ON_BATTERY_POWER to yes). As my laptop always runs on battery, anacron never runs. What I do not understand is why it worked with my

Bug#808873: cron-apt never runs

Hi Please try to enable cron apt through cron.d/cron-apt again. It is obviously disabled that way. Also can you send me the contents of ls -l /usr/sbin/anacron If you execute /etc/cron.daily/cron-apt is it executed then? I´m asking as some system do not allow execution on all directories. What

Hi Please send me the contents of: /etc/cron.d/cron-apt (when enabled that way) /etc/crontab /etc/cron-apt (all files) And do a "ls -l /etc/cron.*" and send me the output of that. Your log files is probably useful too. At least check that cron is running something else. You mention that it is

Bug#808873: cron-apt never runs

Hi Jurgen If it is not running something is wrong with the cron daemon. Is 'cron' running? Also do you have logs from anything else, maybe you do not have syslog installed? Please also note that by default it is just run once per day (night actually) so you have to check a log of logs. You can
