Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 214647
rhn-applet fails to show updated status after update
Last modified: 2007-11-16 20:14:54 EST
I notice on Enterprise 4 that after I launch up2date and update packages my rhn-applet-gui still shows red. The only way I can get it to acknowledge that the system is updated is to right-click on the applet and select "check for updates". It also seems that the only time the applet shows that updates are needed is when I log in (or when I do "check for updates"). It's possible that I'm just not logged in at the right times or for long enough for the applet to connect and see that updates are available but it has been a long time since I've seen the rhn-applet-gui turn red while I was logged in. Is it possible that up2date is not updating proberly after the first login? I believe RedHat network shows that the machine is logging in regularly. Here are the relevant versions: rhn-applet-2.1.25-22 up2date-4.4.69-25 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. log in when there are updates needed 2. launch up2date and update system Actual results: Icon still shows updates are needed unless "check for updates" is done manually. Expected results: Icon should show blue checkmark
My apologies. I did an update this morning and went away for an several without selecting "Check for updates" after the update. When I came back the red exclamation mark had turned into a blue checkmark. I just wasn't waiting long enough. I can't seem to be able to change the status to NOTABUG but I think this can be taken off bugzilla. Sorry about that.
