In Hardy, updates arrived with an icon in the menubar. In Jaunty, that doesn't seem to be there anymore? Is there a setting somewhere to turn that behavior back on?

Open Update Manager and click on Settings. Another window should pop up and under the section Automatic Updates click "Only Notify me about available updates". That should fix your problem.

If you want to put the icon back on the panel instead of having a notification window pop up:


gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false

It will still check for normal updates once a week, with security updates available immediately. To change the frequency, open gconf-editor and change the settings:


gconf-editor /apps/update-notifier/
