It *should* be running every day, but just checked my system and it's not enabled either and hasn't run for a week as well - possible bug? Anyway, to fix it, run the following commands (as root or via sudo): systemctl list-timers --all That *should* list a UNIT called "mlocate-updatedb.timer", but on my system it did not. To enable it, use the following command: systemctl enable mlocate-updatedb.timer You can also update the DB manually by running the script that calls: /usr/libexec/mlocate-run-updatedb Getting back to that "list-timers" command, all of systemd's timers are in "/usr/lib/systemd/system/" and have the extenstion "timer". Might be worth having a look and seeing what else you think should be running, but isn't...
