Where can I obtain the last version of eos-update-notifier that actually works, assuming I don't have the old version cached?

[u/mr_bigmouth_502]

Yes, I'm aware that it's deprecated, but it worked until I updated to the latest version recently.

I hadn't used my main PC in a couple of weeks, so up until roughly two days ago, the last time I updated was in late August.

In any case, I already tried using downgrade, but that couldn't find the last working version of eos-update-notifier since it's from the `endeavouros repo, and as such not available in the Arch Linux Archive.

EDIT: Thinking about it, I might have to grab an old ISO and extract the package from that somehow. Yes, I am willing to go that far.

EDIT2: The last working version of eos-update-notifier, at least on my system, was 26-1`. If that's archived somewhere, I'd love to find it.

EDIT3: It looks like the last version isn't dummied out as far as I can tell, but I can't figure out how to actually get it to do something so I think I'm just going to switch to Apdatifier.

I have my doubts about Apdatifier, but I imagine it beats being nagged by messages telling me "eos-update-notifier was removed at 2026-09-01 and is no more supported" (sic)

what DE do you use? because in KDE, there's a widget that does basically the same thing called "Apdatifier"

[u/mr_bigmouth_502 → u/pomcomic]

I am on KDE, so I think I'll give that a try.

Honestly, I just liked the reboot required notifier. Is that not working anymore? Because it doesn't seem to be working on my system.

[u/SherrifsNear → u/marcellusmartel]

It still works for me when I perform system updates from the Welcome app.

[u/marcellusmartel → u/SherrifsNear]

That's interesting, I haven't tried that. In the past it used to work when I used pacman or yay

[u/darknetmatrix]

it is no longer maintained, maybe https://github.com/Antiz96/arch-update can help your situation

[u/mr_bigmouth_502 → u/darknetmatrix]

Just gave this a try. Didn't care for it. I just want the old EOS update notifier back. It was faster and it didn't ask to remove "orphan" packages or process .pacnew files.

[u/mr_bigmouth_502 → u/[deleted]]

The last version is useless. The version before actually functioned. I would like to find an archived copy of it.

If you do a yay it will update all packagés of your system so you might get what you want

[u/mr_bigmouth_502 → u/Brilliant_Estate_967]

yay doesn't automatically remind me to update my packages or tell me how many packages I have to update until I run it.

[u/Brilliant_Estate_967 → u/mr_bigmouth_502]

You dont want to upgrade your system ?

Or do Pacman -q name of package ronger your version and compare it to the last one on the official website or just launch a sudo pacman -S name of package to update

[u/mr_bigmouth_502 → u/Brilliant_Estate_967]

You dont want to upgrade your system ?

I do, but only when I need to. It's nice to know when I have a bunch of updates queued vs only a small handful or even none.

[u/Brilliant_Estate_967 → u/mr_bigmouth_502]

Or yay, read the différences and what you want in just one command say yes or no and them just install what you need ? Or use a GUI tonhave a list ?

[u/mr_bigmouth_502 → u/Brilliant_Estate_967]

You don't get it.
