Please Cc: me on any replies. Thanks. I'll try fedora-list now since I got no response on fedora-test-list. Perhaps this is a user support question, not a testing question. I need some help troubleshooting puplet and yum-updatesd so I can provide useful bug reports. I'm ready to tackle these issues head-on again now that I am running rawhide. I have a freshly installed F7/development system on a new partition. The old /home partition is mounted so I have my user files that have lived on this /home since FC6, FC5, FC4, etc. I have never ever seen a puplet bubble pop up on this system under my user account ever since puplet existed. As far as I can tell, puplet and yum-updatesd are running: cra 4286 0.0 0.6 25484 12928 ? S 17:47:53 00:00:00 /usr/bin/python -tt /usr/bin/puplet root 22013 0.0 2.8 72356 58604 pts/2 S 20:05:06 00:00:15 /usr/bin/python /usr/sbin/yum-updatesd My config is default: [main] # how often to check for new updates (in seconds) run_interval = 3600 # how often to allow checking on request (in seconds) updaterefresh = 600 # how to send notifications (valid: dbus, email, syslog) emit_via = dbus # automatically install updates do_update = no # automatically download updates do_download = no # automatically download deps of updates do_download_deps = no I'm running the latest: >rpm -qf `which puplet` pirut-1.3.6-1.fc7 >rpm -qf `which yum-updatesd` yum-updatesd-3.1.6-1.fc7 How do I start figuring out what is going on here? There must be something wrong in my dotfiles somewhere, since I have had puplet work on other systems. It also works in a new test account I created on this system. Thanks.
