Updating packages in Plasma

#1 Post by travis82 »

Sorry folks if my question seems amateurish.

I have MX XFCE on my PC and MX Plasma on laptop. On my PC updating packages is done with a lite nifty tool with a dedicated icon in system tray. On my laptop Plasma Discover is doing so. But I hate Discover, It's slow and buggy. By the way, it seems that the default action in MX XFCE is "apt full-upgrade" and (I think) in Plasma is "apt upgrade". Is there a way to use updater of MX Xfce on Plasma and make it autostart at login? I searched the repository but didn't find a package with names like mx-updater or mx-packageupdater.

Thank you in advance and sorry for my english.

Edit: I don't mean unattended upgrade. I just want the icon of MX XFCE on system tray of Plasma.

or

Glad to hear that. Then you can put it ( apt-notifier ) in autostart ...


Also manually in a terminal you can simply

Code: Select all

sudo nala upgrade
whenever you like :)
