I figured out the command for adding the key. Do this as root: gconftool-2 --set -t boolean /apps/update-notifier/no_show_notifications true
I'm not sure how to make it mandatory or default w/o the gconf-editor GUI, though. So as root run gconf-editor, find the key we set above, right-click it and choose "set as default" or "set as mandatory". Then you can change the value of the key for the root user if you want to receive notifications. -Rob On Sat, Apr 19, 2008 at 11:40:12AM -0400, Rob Owens wrote: > In the gconf-editor as root, you can find a key called /apps/update-notifier > and check "no_show_notifications".
