Kieth Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 In console, I can run 'mdkapplet' and I will be notified of updates, otherwise no. In 'mdkapplet-config' there are 2 options: 'Check for newer "Powerpack" releases' and "Check for missing "Restricted" media'. The only one checked is the 2nd choice above. How can I get the applet to run automatically? Thanks, Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Type in a console: mdkapplet --force & Then right click on the icon in the taskbar and choose start at boot. Or something like that. That should do the trick, atleast in 2008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted May 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 OK, willie, I tried what you said. I was able to open the icon, but it was already marked (checked/ticked) 'Always launch on startup'. So anyways I decided to wait until there were some updates (checking through MCC) to see if it would work, and sure enough - nope, it didn't. So in console, I started the applet, and after a couple of minutes it appeared, then I downloaded the new updates. So it still isn't working, but as I said, it is marked to 'launch on startup'. Any ideas? Thanks, Kieth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Just wait a couple of days, it should work if there are any new updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
