Lite Updates Notify

Linux Lite has a simple point and click option that works. That's what goes in our distro and that's what our guidelines requires. I'm doing this on my spare time as a hobby and not because we expect to replace our own solution. Nothing to worry about

... We have a point and click option that works, and is easy to use without any user interaction that could end up in bad decisions being made.

Thanks, [member=2]Jerry[/member] , for keeping it simple! The mint update system is confusing to me. I rather trust you and whoever else decides what update are needed. I don't even want to mess with kernel updates until they come with the regular updates.

For the record, kernel security updates do come with the regular updates in the 3.x series.

Thanks Jerry and Ralphy for keeping the update system as it is.

@everyone you're welcome

Never mind. I keep getting this message:

Forbidden You don't have permission to access /forums/linux-lite-software-development/ on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'd like to see what you had in reply #17 above. But I'm not going to insist on it.

Nothing important. I was just agreeing with torredale about the kernel updating was what I posted before. The forum was not cooperating 

If I put type the at symbol, I get the error message.

I wish it behaved more like Linux Mint did it. 

It placed an icon in the desktop bar at the bottom of the screen. if there were no updates, it would display an icon with a check mark in it. If there were updates, the icon had an exclamation point in it. And it should remain sticky and always viewable.

[member=6217]humdinger70[/member] I've pushed mintupdate-lite to my server.



Have fun!
