Package: update-notifier Version: 0.70.7.debian-5 Followup-For: Bug #520201
Clicking on the update notifier widget sometimes requests an administrative password. Mostly nothing happens. Running from command line gives this information: elbou...@red:~$ update-notifier GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details — 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)
