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.

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.

I tried seeing If I had somehow deleted it from the whisker menu, I had a lot of choices to add in the panel, but not that one.
SOmeone once showed me how to reset the entire panel, but I can't remember now

I TimeShifted back to June and found the icon were it used to be. I then updated and it seems fine now.
That was strange.

Well, I just did an update and upgrade through the terminal, and the icon is gone again.Is there a way to place it back on the whisker menu (well above it), or should I timetravel back again to get it?

Easy to remember since pr=

Restarting it from the MX Updater entry in the whiskermenu should unhide it.
