[xubuntu-users] A pakage manager is working in tray all the time

[Lee Gold]

Solved, thanks for the help. I didn't search enough, the answer was there. There's an option to lock out upgrades for a package in the existing GUI and I can turn-off upgrade manager in the sessions GUI. Those two things solved the problem as well as killing the process . Thanks.

Hi,

I managed to kill the process in 10.04. It's called update notifier, but
you need to select "view -- > all processes", in the system monitor
before you can see it. I'm not sure if you can kill it permanently
though, if you can, it will be from within the app's settings.
