I think I know what is happening. Gpk-update-icon doesn't check for updates every day as asked to. Instead, I'm almost certain that it counts its own (cumulated) run time, and checks for updates every 24 hours of run time. This means that it works fine for a computer which is always up, but gpk-update-icon will only check for updates every 3 days if the user runs his/her computer 8 hours a day, and only every 24 days if the user runs his/her computer 1 hour a day. If I'm right, then the fix is to replace this run-time-based test by a time comparison between the current time and the time of the last update check. This should be pretty simple. Actually, keeping the current test as an additional test may make sense, to act as a last limit in case the user changes the clock of the machine and this confuses the time comparison test. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
