A reboot brought the orb back.

When I click on it a popup appears and says that
zmd is not running. Hovering over it says there are
no software updates available.

Hi Bob,

This happened to me in the last day or so, I /think/ because an update to the
updater system was applied the night before. I got it working again, as
follows:

-> right-clicked the "orb" and quit it
-> opened a shell and su'd to root
-> ran an 'rczmd status' (returned "dead")
-> ran 'rczmd restart'
-> ran an 'rczmd status' (returned "running")
-> launched the "orb" again from the menu via "System > Configuration > Update
Software"

I think I had to repeat this sequence twice, for unknown reasons, for it
to 'stick' in running mode.

hth & regards,

Carl
