Hello,
I have F13 on one machine where it never prompts for software
updates. I think it used to prompt in the past (with the same F13). I
even switched automatic updates checking from daily to hourly, but no
difference. Regularly, after some days have passed without prompt for
updates, I run yum update and install the updates that accumulated,
sometimes dozens of them. I googled for the problem but only found old
references and no solution. That machine used to be used not very
frequently, with power downs occasionally lasting a week or two, and
it is usually off during nights. Any idea what is going on? Thanks!
Assuming you're using Gnome, go to "System->Preferences->Startup
Applications" and ensure you have "PackageKit Update Applet" in there
and enabled. If not, add it. The actual program name ("command") is
"/usr/bin/gpk-update-icon".
