Annoying Exclamation Point
 

Every time I turn on my tablet, I get an orange exclamation point telling me some obscure third-party application I installed and never use has an update. I would rather check for updates myself manually when I feel like it. So please tell me, how do I make it stop?

open control panel
click "Panels"
click "Status bar"
uncheck "Software update Notifier"

there is a setting in gconf that says how long between autmated checks, expressed in minutes. setting it to some insane number, like say 999999999 should probably do the trick ;)

/apps/hildon/update-notifier is the key.

ah, silly me, i keep forgetting that for ones, its a nokia added entry that can actually be unchecked...

I actually set my value to 240 (4 hours). I love getting the updates!

You could just uninstall the applications you don't use. No more useless updates and more free space.

too much work; besides, i might need it some day. and i'm not worried about space as i have 32 GB of it.
