How to configure #18

Open ghost opened 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

I'm running Ubuntu Gnome and have "Software Updater" and "Software & Updates" installed. Usually I run "apt update" and "apt upgrade" to update the software. I've tried different settings under "Settings -> Advanced settings -> Update method" but when clicking "Check now" in the menu I always end up with the read warning triangle with an exclamation mark and "Error" on top the menu. Is there any log where I can check what the error is due to? What should I select under "Update method" based on the what I have installed?

Hmm, could you share a screenshot of your settings?

Otherwise, you can look for errors in the logs:

sudo journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -f

Had the same problem on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04. packagekit-tools needs to be installed since the default command to check for updates is pkcon refresh. "sudo apt install packagekit-tools" will install pkcon and the extension should work.
