I seem to have the same (or similar) problem. I never receive automatic
notifications of updates in Kubuntu 9.10 / Karmic. I verified
KPackageKit is set to load as a startup service. Every few weeks I run
synaptic just to see if updates exist. They always do, but I must
manually search for these in synaptic or manually run "Software Updates"
to view these updates. I just ran "Software Updates" (which I assume I
the same as KPackageKit) and 117 updates were found. I do see
kpackagekitsmarticon and packagekitd services are currently running
("Software Updates" is in the process of installing updates now).Let me know what additional information I can provide to assist with identification of this problem. I will also report that the kde desktop crashes frequently and, despite multiple attempts to install the necessary crash handler modules, I always receive the crash message indicating the collected data is not useful. I mention this in case kde desktop could be taking KPackageKit with it when it crashes and because I have had no success creating a backtrace yet, due to insufficient information from KDE crash handler. -- KPackageKit crashing on Karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453798 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kpackagekit in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
