Description Allan Day 2021-03-17 12:13:25 UTC

Description of problem:

Testing Fedora 34 as part of the GNOME 40 test day: shortly after installing Fedora, a notification was shown:

"Software Updates Available to Download
Please download waiting software updates."

According to the design that was supposed to have been implemented for GNOME 40 [1], this notification is only supposed to be shown when automatic updates are turned off. Yet, in this case, automatic updates were on (as they are supposed to be by default).

Software shouldn't be instructing users to manually download updates if those updates will be automatically downloaded anyway.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 40.rc

Expected results:

Hum, yeah, openQA testing shows the same. I have the test passing now because we get a notification, but indeed it's not following the design, if we're supposed to get the "automatic updates on" behaviour. Indeed openQA gets a "Please download waiting software updates." notification, not a "updates have been downloaded, please reboot" notification or anything like that.

This is fixed for 40.0. I do not think it makes any sense to duplicate bug reports, it only doubles the work to deal with them to anybody involved.
