I set this computer up with Centos 8 a few days ago.

"systemctl status mlocate-updatedb.timer" says "Active (waiting)".

But the mlocate database hasn't been updated since the last time I ran updatedb manually.

Just to follow this up, the mlocate database update started working automatically again by magic. I didn't change anything but it's now updating itself daily as expected.

Just going through my mail messages, and as a quick reply, if you run 'systemctl list-timers' it will show you when the timer last ran and when it is next due to run.

No idea as to why yours seemed to stop then start.
