Update notifier: Install updates disabled

[Şerban S.]

Linux Lite doesn't come with an update notifier?

Hi!
It's a little more complicated than I thought...
In fact, the problem is somewhere else:
The default DE in Lite, is XFCE.
I use XFCE for more than 8 years. Changing to something else, is out of question.
And this is where the problem occures:
XFCE lacks a viable solution for "Update Notifier".
Jerry, found a plugin made by Guido Berhoerster and included it in the package.
It seems that the plugin has a bug so Jerry has nothing to do with the bug.
Although the plugin senses the state of the packages and displays it correctly, the menu item "Install Packages" remains disabled so in fact, it is useless.
I thought maybe this is because of the "Preferences" setting of the command and changed it to the correct command (/usr/bin/lite-updates). Still refuses to work.
I think the only way to solve it, is contact the author and explain this.
The trigger for "Enabled" property of the Menu Item, it's either missing or skipped for some reason.
This should be triggered when the "Preferences" window is closed, but it does nothing, so far.
Maybe I should do a restart or even a cold restart to see what happens.
If I can solve it, I'll get back with the solution. Would be nice to make it work.

Have a great day!
