Description Jiri Eischmann 2020-02-20 15:28:23 UTC

When gnome-software/packagekitd prepared packages for offline updates there was a checkbox in the shutdown dialog to perform offline updates before shutdown/reboot.

It was a convenient way for users to do updates and a reminder they have updates waiting without which many users fail to ever install updates.

Since (probably) F31 it no longer works. The checkbox doesn't show up when there are updates. To make the checkbox appear you have to open GNOME Software, go to the Updates screen, click "Reboot and install", click Cancel and then open the shutdown dialog.

This is most likely caused by suspending the packagekitd process. GNOME Shell then cannot check the status of updates and can't show the checkbox.

Proposed solutions:
1) revert the change to suspend the packagekitd process when it's not needed.

2) resume the packagekitd process to get the updates status before the shutdown dialog is shown.

The option 2) would be preferred if it significantly doesn't delay the shutdown dialog because 1) would result in constantly higher consumption of memory.

Deferring a decision on Prioritized Bug status until after we consult with the Workstation WG. https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2020-02-26/fedora_prioritized_bugs_and_issues.2020-02-26-16.00.log.html#l-105

Workstation WG ticket created: https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/133

Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2020-02-26 18:39:48 UTC

We think it's been broken since Fedora 29.

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2020-03-11 17:06:21 UTC

This is accepted as a Priortized Bug: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2020-03-11/fedora_prioritized_bugs_and_issues.2020-03-11-15.00.log.html#l-73

Comment 4 Michael Catanzaro 2020-03-17 23:40:36 UTC

BTW: this regressed in PackageKit 1.1.11 (nice version number). So Fedora 29 was indeed the first broken version.

Comment 5 Michael Catanzaro 2020-03-26 15:12:21 UTC

Fixed in 3.36.1.

Comment 6 Torsten Casselt 2020-03-28 20:06:32 UTC

Just a FYI to maybe improve the bug triage process: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1761090
Glad this will finally be addressed!

Comment 8 Michael Catanzaro 2020-03-28 22:13:25 UTC

Sorry, downstream bugs are rarely triaged due to high volume. Best way to get attention is usually to report directly upstream.

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2020-04-07 14:47:56 UTC

Gnome 3.36.1 is in the stable repo now. Should this bug be closed?

Comment 10 Michael Catanzaro 2020-04-07 14:57:11 UTC

Yes, thanks for the reminder.
