me too having the same.
Normal but no alert and now i check the software center and find updates are there waiting for me
no updates notification?
did not see a physical banner popup but I'm not at the computer every second.
but I had the tray indicator turn blue so I knew an update was there.
I do not know if they did away with the popup or not/cannot answer. Even that times out a 5 seconds or less so is there a chance you missed it?
I get update notifications on Solus Gnome, if that helps.
Hmm, maybe something going wrong with our solus-update-checker script (part of the Software Center).
Staudey should solus-update-checker run at startup?
if i launch it in terminal i get the notification, but it doesent stay long
I have the issue figured out now. Our Plasma desktop no longer seems to autostart .desktop files from /usr/share/xdg/autostart/ where our solus-update-checker is (among other things)

Staudey so one should copy everything from /usr/share/xdg/autostart/ to /etc/xdg/autostart/ ?
For now I'd say just wait until we've fixed that.
Staudey okay 
thanks for looking into it

Lucien_Lachance FYI Joey, ermo and I (helped by Tracey's testing) discovered and fixed the cause(s) of that issue, and it should start working again after the next round of updates.
Staudey excellent, thank you
best to get these little issues fixed before the iso release
