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!
Take care Oliver

I did "yum update" several times since July 22, but the problem remains.

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". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@nerd.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - They say when you play a Microsoft CD backwards, you'll hear - - Satanic messages, but if you play it forwards, it will install - - Windows...which means Satan is in your system. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Let us be clear. You never get a orange sun symbol in the left side of the upper panel.

Hi Oliver, here it's your solution:
Try this please: (as Root)
yum clean all
ENTER
yum makecache
ENTER
su -c "yum -y --skip-broken update"
ENTER
Reboot your system and turn the Update checker to "Daily" instead of "Per Hour" Some days later, when there are updates available, you are going to get notifications.

I just tried this because I think I've been having the same problem at the
su -c "yum -y --skip-broken update"
I got this:
Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 17 Package(s) Upgrade 431 Package(s)
Total download size: 335 M
So I seem to be seeing the updates now. Hopefully will start seeing the notification soon

Thanks for the advice. I did that and it installed about a dozen updates. I should know in a few days whether automatic notification works now.

The machine has been running since the last seven hours and no indicator (orange sun) for software updates has appeared.
"yum update" says that there are three packages waiting to be updated.
So I guess it is still broken.

Actually, today, the orange sun came back with an update for yum, and when that was installed, it came back with 11 more updates.
