This is still a problem in vivid. It looks like GNOME users have a new update notification based on PackageKit, but AFAICT, users of Xubuntu and other desktops are still stuck using the (now broken) update- notifier. My patch still works with the version of update-notifier that is included in Vivid, so it really wouldn't take much for the maintainer(s) to fix this problem.
Side note: I did find a relatively new package called pk-update-icon that looks like it's intended to take over the job that update-notifier used to do, but sadly, it depends on GNOME packages (including, indirectly, gnome-settings-daemon and libwacom2). This makes it look like a bad choice for Xfce. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246364 Title: update-notifier does not show a tray icon in xubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1246364/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
