You are not supposed to do this any more, just run alunn as regular user.

....and if you want alunn to automatically  start at login, just add it to your autostart list for your DE. Like I have added it to the startup file for my Fluxbox.

Re: ALUNN - Arch Linux Updates and News Notifiction

[2007-07-07 16:33] ALUNN starting, first run in 5 min.

Why it takes 5min to start? IMO it's too long for the first run.
It would be nice to have rxvt-unicode support and xfce terminal.
Anyway, nice job.

That you can configure with alunnconf. The default value is 5 min so that you have the time to get your network up and running. 1 min should probably be enough if you are using NetworkManager or 0 min if you bring your nework up during boot.

It would be nice to have rxvt-unicode support and xfce terminal.
Anyway, nice job.

Not sure what you mean, but if you are talking about which terminal is used when you launch the updater you can choose that as well. You can in fact write in what ever you desire in the updatecommand field as long as it is a valid bash command. If you whant to use urxvt, you should try this:

urxvt -e bash -c 'su - -c "pacman -Syu; echo; echo -n :: Press \[Enter\] to exit ::; read"'

I could probably add a default command for XFCE in the next release!!

EDIT: urxvt command didn't work, fixed now!

Re: ALUNN - Arch Linux Updates and News Notifiction

New version of alunn is out now. This one supports internationalisation. If you like to translate it to your language, just download the latest release from http://nedrebo.org/kode/alunn and follow the instructions in the TRANSLATION file.

Other improvemants:
You can now easily chose browser of choice in alunnconf, or as always write in your custom command.
I also added default options for XFCE and urxvt, as requested earlier in the thread, in this field can also write in custom commands.

Re: ALUNN - Arch Linux Updates and News Notifiction

Would it be possible to change this so that root is not required? pacman -Qu shows the outdated packages, so it would just be matter of looking that

Re: ALUNN - Arch Linux Updates and News Notifiction

Hi,

I have a problem with the icon of alunn in KDE.
Athough an icon appears in the kicker it is no the green pacman it used to appear. It is a file icon with an x on it.

Is it a bug or is it related with my KDE setup?

What you describe is the stock GTK icon for missing icon. Don't know why it is not finding the corect icon. Anyone else running KDE having(/not having) this problem (I'm running Gnome)?

Root is not required to run alunn, but when you got new updates you eventually need to become root. If you don't like the default behaviour you are free to write inn any command you like inn alunnconf and make that the default behavior.

pacman -Qu would not work. It is correct that it list out-of-date packages, but it doesn't download new versions of the package database files from the repositories. So it would actually newer show any updates until you manually logged in as root and ran pacman -Sy (but not pacman -Su).

No, it uses stock icons that should be on the system by default.

Re: ALUNN - Arch Linux Updates and News Notifiction

I Think I have heard of this problem before, are you using gtk-qt-engine. It works by making a themefile in your home directory. Unfourtuanlly gtk-qt-engine seem to contain a bug. To check if this is the case delete ~/.gtk_qt_engine_rc. But keep in mind that this file might get recreated from time to time as long as you uses the theme. I told the last person asking me about this to file a bug, don't think he did it. Maybe you should do that.

Re: ALUNN - Arch Linux Updates and News Notifiction

Sorry, last post was just rubbish! To early in the mornig smile Dbus is NOT necassery to use alunn, it's been a long time since I removed that dependency.

This actually turned out to be a bug in alunn, A new version will probably hit the repos soon. In the mean time you can use this package: http://nedrebo.org/pages/kode/alunn/alu … pkg.tar.gz

Hi,

Is it possible to include an icon in the package so alunn works well in both kde and gnome?

Thank you.

Re: ALUNN - Arch Linux Updates and News Notifiction

I hope it's ok to bring this thread back to life. On my laptop with a high screen resolution (1680x1024) I notice that the notification text is displaced. Maybe this is since the last update? I don't know for sure... I'm running KDE 3.5.9 with QtCurve as style (both KDE and GTK version) and alunn 0.7.2-1 from AUR.
Maybe it has something to do with the style? Or with the high resolution? I don't know, but it would be great if somebody could tell me how to fix this...

Re: ALUNN - Arch Linux Updates and News Notifiction

solved. looks like alunn doesn't like mirrorlist file and needs separate file for each repository
