Latest 64bit build is missing the Update Notifier icon.

Edited to add: A new 64bit version is now available that has the following problem fixed. It's available to download now. I apologize for any inconvenience.

MiyoLinux comes with an update notifier that allows users to click its icon in the system tray in order to install updates. Somehow, I neglected to change the icon in the file path in the latest 64bit version of MiyoLinux (miyolinux-64bit-120316.iso). It still gives a desktop notification (without the icon), but it doesn't show in the system tray since its icon is missing. I sincerely apologize and am embarrassed about this.

It's easily fixed though.

Simply open your terminal and enter the following...

 sudo leafpad /usr/share/pointlinux/update-notifier/pointlinux-update-notifier.py

After the file opens in Leafpad, scroll about 1/3 of the way down the file until you see the following...if you enable line numbers, it's line #35 that will be changed...

icon = "/usr/share/icons/PointLinux-Faenza/apps/48/update-notifier.png",

Change that line to read as follows...

icon = "/usr/share/images/updates.svg",

Then save and close the file.

Log out and log back in for it to take effect.

Again, I apologize.
