Hi all,
The above was gobblygeek to me .
Anyways this is what it says when I try to run it :-
$ /usr/bin/gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.PackageKit
--object-path /org/freedesktop/PackageKit --timeout 1 --method
org.freedesktop.PackageKit.StateHasChanged cache-update
()
I have no idea what to make of that () . Whether it means no problems
or something else .
Loooking forward to know more.
