Things that I have tried/verified: - It works when I manually start puplet in a terminal so I know it works. - removed and reinstalled it via yum - checked paths are correct in Sessions - I have waited long enough for it to check and checked after with pup that packages were indeed wiating to be updated. - I have changed SELinux to permissive to make sure that wasn't interfering - it shows when I do a "ps waux" as "/usr/bin/python -tt /usr/bin/puplet" Anyone have any ideas where I could look next as I did not see this particular problem listed on the YumUpgrade wiki page.
From memory, puplet stays hidden, and listens for dbus notifications from the yum-updatesd service. Perhaps chkconfig --list yum-updatesd to see if it is set to run at runlevel change.
service yum-updatesd status to see if it is running now. dbus also comes into the equation. DaveT.
