Update Icon missing [SOLVED]

[Sparky]

The littler empty (or green) box has been missing for a while.
I tried running it and I got this error:

Code: Select all

Failed to execute command "/usr/bin/apt-notifier-unhide-Icon".

Can anybody help me out?

I did through the cmd line for now, just don't understand where that little icon went to.

What about the start-up applications list? Is it still there? Checked/Unchecked ?

It sometimes goes missing for me as well. Launching from the whisker menu always bring it back.

Click Menu > MX Updater to re-enable it.

[Sparky]

No luck so far.

Reinstall?

Code: Select all

sudo apt reinstall apt-notifier

[richb]

Try a panel reset In a terminal

Code: Select all

$ xfce4-panel -r

[Sparky]

first one didn't' work, the second resulted with this"
"No running instance of xfce4-panel was found"
I really haven't doe anything strange on this laptop other than installing 2 free games

Did you upgrade the panel or any plugin, eg whisker, to a gtk3 version? I think there's a gtk3 whisker in test repo.

I'm just throwing ideas into the mix.
