update-manager package

Update Manager notification is not visible in menu bar

Asked by Mukesh

I have upgraded Ubuntu9.04 from Ubuntu8.10. It seems that that update manager notification in the top right hand side menu bar is not there though there are some update available when it is run from system->Administration->Update manger. while downloading the updates also there is no symbol of update manager is running in right hand side top menu bar as it was there in ubuntu8.10 like circle with yellow colour in ubuntu8.04 and big downward arrow in ubuntu8.10.

Right click on the top taskbar and click on "+ Add to panel"? Is there something in the list?

No this do not solve my problem. When i tried to install sudo apt-get install adept-notifier i got the following message Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package adept-notifier is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package adept-notifier has no installation candidate

Just wait a few hours or even days... and then try to install it again.
And you should also install the "ubuntu-desktop" then again to get all other dependencys your system is (for sure) missing.

And consider to not go into PRE-releases if you cannot handle situations like this.

OK Mr.midnightflash i will wait and again try to install.One question in my mind whether I have to install ubuntu9.10 a fresh or only updates?

From the "now" state... I'd keep it with the Updates.
I have a system that ran through 4 Alphas and ever between through stable for a few month until getting booooring... now it's really a bit slow... but still running OK.

Some people tell you to always do a fresh install after Alpha/Beta... but really not necessary (in my mind) unless something is really disrupted.

Greetings
