Hi everyone;
I have two machines that have not been receiving update notifications since I upgraded them to 9.04. Both of these machines were upgraded using the command line (i.e., do-release-upgrade), I don't know if that would make any difference. My other machine that I upgraded with the GUI is working fine.
I know there's update notifications are different than before in 9.04. I'm not getting any update notifications at all. Here's what I mean:
- I have the system set to check for updates once every day in the "Software Sources" control panel. So, once an update is available, I expect my system to find it within a day and prompt me to install it.
- I wait several days after I know updates have been released... nothing.
- If I go to the command line and type "sudo apt-get update", wham, now the update notification appears.
So it seems it is not automatically checking for updates in the background, even though I told it to. One of these machines is a server, and I have it set to automatically install security updates. It still doesn't do anything, though, until I manually do a "sudo apt-get update" (although it was working fine in 8.10).
Any ideas? Thanks!
