Apparently, on Ubuntu you should be using
Code:
gksudo gnome-schedule
which is essentially the same program but with a slightly different name (we don't need to get into why).
It asked you to install gksu in addition, since it didn't have it yet, and was just asking yes/no should it be installed. If you run that command again, and type "Y" and click enter, it will install gksu.
Or try "gksudo gnome-scheduler" which should already be there.
Anyway, you will get update notifications in linux too, it's just why settle for notifications if you can get automatic updates?  |
I set up the automatic updates in the Task Scheduler I already had. I got this window (see #36) when I clicked on Add. I just clicked ok on it, and the task showed up (see #37). I was going to do it like you said at a time I was sleeping but then I Googled to see if the tasks would be performed if the computer wasn't on and they (in a Ubuntu forum) said no. So I scheduled the updates for "reboot." Which I'm fine with.
Then I went to do the task that makes sure Calibre has been updated (for "bonus points"). (And btw, that "Is" in the Command box in the scheduler gets deleted, right?) And I initially scheduled it for "reboot" as well. But when I hit the final OK button the task did not appear in the Task Scheduler. Then I thought maybe it didn't show because I was scheduling them both as reboot so I rescheduled it for, I think, every monday at 14:00 (2pm). Still no luck. I took a screenshot of what I entered (#38 screenshot).
So I feel I got it half done anyway. (Progress not perfection!)
Thanks!
