OK so I renamed it. On Friday 07 Mar 2014 13:50:49 Terry Coles wrote:

I've done a search for problems with the Muon Update Manager and found this: http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=11474.45 which rambles on for four pages, but the title says it all; 'Yet more update manager woes! It didn't tell me how to fix it (or at least I haven't found it yet). One thing I have noticed is that there is a tool called update-notifier, which many cannot get to work, and muon-notifier, which some at least can. The muon-notifier seems to be installed by default on my system. However, I cannot see it in the running processes. Kubuntu no longer seems to include any kind of service manager, although I'm sure it did, so I'm not sure how to check to see if it running as a service. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2014-04-01 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
