Will I get notified of updates?
I'm using the MATE version. Will I get notified of updates? If so, where?

Re: Will I get notified of updates?
I don't think so but I don't use MATE so I might be wrong. You can try https://packages.debian.org/buster/pack ... -indicator for update notifications.

Thanks.
To get it working in MATE:
In preferences, for example Refresh cache: daily
Command for installing updates: /usr/bin/gpk-update-viewer
as detailed at linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/what-command-to-use-in-package-update-indicator-on-debian-10
The Package Update Indicator icon in the panel goes like a red star and Install Updates works fine.
To get it working in MATE:
Code: Select all
# apt install package-update-indicator pk-update-icon

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian! rms would be proud.

No need to install pk-update-icon, that's just a transitional dummy package that depends on package=update-indicator to ensure the notifications continue after an upgrade from stretch to buster.kedaha wrote:Code: Select all

Indeed, thanks I hadn't even looked at it.Head_on_a_Stick wrote:No need to install pk-update-icon, that's just a transitional dummy package that depends on package=update-indicator to ensure the notifications continue after an upgrade from stretch to buster.
After entering the command /usr/bin/gpk-update-viewer in Update Indicator Preferences, the root password must be entered but no doubt it could be configured so as to enter the user's password instead if a user is in the sudoers file.
