I have not actually seen it "working" (giving notification of new packages) but in any case it is not stable. You can start 'rhn-applet-gui' and the button appears on the panel and can be configured. But it does not survive X restarts and reboots (the button disappears from the panel and does not reappear later like the other icons/buttons). After a new 'rhn-applet-gui' command two buttons appear on the panel. The original (blue with tick mark) reappears and a new green one also appears. This is on phoebe 2 with all the updates (up2date). I cannot reproduce this: 1/ installed beta 2, rhn-applet was missing from the comps file this is fixed now but as a result it wasn't installed by default. 2/ I upgraded to the latest version using up2date 3/ I installed rhn-applet using up2date 4/ rebooted to get a fresh install as would have resulted from a clean install. From there: 5/ login in Gnome, the applet shows up in the panel, asking for action (red blinking) 6/ went through the couple of registration steps 7/ then the applet made the network connection (green) for 20 secs 8/ as no updates were needed it turned blue as expected. 9/ logged out and relogged in to check the behaviour 10/ the applet started and kept blue as expected since no update are available Works for me ! Daniel I did precisely the same as in your steps 1/, 2/, 3/ and 4/. (except that I did not immediately reboot. I first finished some things I was busy with and then shut down the laptop. The things I finished had nothing to do with up2date or rhn or rhn-applet) When I rebooted the next day and entered gnome the (red) rhn-applet did NOT show up on the panel. Looking around I discovered a curious (green) rhn-applet entry in 'System Tools' with which you could do essentialy nothing. So I started the rhn-applet from the command line (just like under RH-8.0 whenever it had accidentaly been removed from the panel). This placed the applet on the panel but it was immediately the blue one. And this one does not survive X restarts and reboots. This doesn't sound like 100% correct behaviour to me. |
