Hi Dave,<br><br>Yes, Intrepid is the next release. Check this link: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule</a><br>Today is the release day! So probably tomorrow when you wake up it will be available by the time the sun does it's thing.<br>
<br>If you are thinking of upgrading, then I would recommend giving it a shot and then coming back here and letting us know how it goes. Not all upgrades are smooth. It's usually better to do a clean install, but if that's not an option then take the upgrade path.<br>
<br>Perhaps it will even solve some of your issues!<br><br>Good luck,<br>Blake Munro<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/10/30 David Dartnall <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:darts@dialix.com.au">darts@dialix.com.au</a>></span><br>

Hmm. Interesting.<br>
<br>
I had a problem some time ago when it did the same thing to me, it turns out that the update-notifier program was launching before my wireless had established a connection. This was causing it to try and connect to the internet and then immediately close after a short timeout period.<br>
<br>
Mind you, I have been running Intrepid since Alpha 6, updating it daily and have not experienced this problem at all. What version are you running?<br>
<br>
Try the following and see if it matches your output.<br>
<br>
blake@ibmt40:~$ ps aux |grep update<br>
blake 3570 0.0 0.1 3240 800 pts/0 S+ 17:25 0:00 grep update<br>
blake 6467 0.0 2.9 27444 15284 ? S Oct29 0:02 update-notifier<br>
blake@ibmt40:~$<br>
<br>
If you don't have update-notifier running then it may be quitting prior to establishing a connection like I mentioned earlier.<br>
<br>

Hi Dave,<br>
<br>
Can't help you with the first two off the top of my head, but<br>
with the update manager, check under System > Preferences ><br>
Session and make sure the command 'update-manager' is invoked<br>
at session start up. It may have been removed for some reason.<br>
<br>

3. 'Updates available' icon no longer appears<br>
automatically. Update<br>
manager is ok when manually invoked.<br>

Blake I'm out of my depth here, update-notifier and update-notifier-common are installed Synaptic tells me, and he following is the result of your suggestion<br>
<br>
~$ ps aux | grep update<br>
darts 5693 0.0 1.3 26436 14012 ? S Oct28 0:05 update-notifier --sm-config-prefix /update-notifier-mGpIl3/ --sm-client-id 117f000001000120313180400000085350005 --screen 0<br>
darts 16315 0.0 0.0 3012 780 pts/1 R+ 18:00 0:00 grep update<br>
<br>
Does that indicate that update-notifier is running? And I've just discovered that Intrepid is the next Ubuntu release - or has it already been and gone and I've missed it?<br>
<br>
Thank you for the effort you're taking.<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>
