Description Tony 2023-06-25 16:55:41 UTC

Description of problem:
GNOME Software shows three platform updates are available:
Freedesktop Platform
GNOME Application Platform version 43 and
GNOME Application Platform version 44

When I try to install them, GNOME Software fails silently, continuing to display "Installing" until I close it.

The logs show this message:

Jun 25 12:41:59 chainsaw gnome-software[4296]: failed to install runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-54-03/x86_64/1.4 (non fatal): While pulling runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-535-54-03/x86_64/1.4 from remote flathub: Writing content object: Need more input

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[tony@chainsaw ~]$ gnome-software --version
gnome-software 44.2
[tony@chainsaw ~]$ 

How reproducible:
Happens every time I try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open GNOME Sofware
2. Click Update for any of the pending platform updates
3. GNOME Software fails to install and fails to notify the user of the failure

Actual results:
The GNOME Software application appears to be installing forever while the system logs show that the update failed almost immediately

Expected results:
Platform update is installed

Additional info:
Thank you!

Thanks for a bug report. I think this is partly caused by changes for the [1].

As it's not Fedora specific, it'll be better discussed upstream. I dropped a comment in the [1].

Comment 2 Milan Crha 2023-06-26 07:10:30 UTC

The part about never ending install applies to the gnome-software, but the error is a regression on the flatpak side. I get the same error when installing an app with flatpak-1.15.4-1.fc38.x86_64, but installing the same app with flatpak-1.14.1-2.fc37.x86_64 works properly.

I'm moving this to the flatpak package.

ostree issue, and while the fix is being investigated, ostree upstream have proposed to revert commit f7f6f87c513c9f35bc24f35e909779c19cb49d3a as a workaround.

Comment 4 Milan Crha 2023-06-26 07:52:04 UTC

> When I try to install them, GNOME Software fails silently, continuing to display "Installing" until I close it.

For the second part of this sentence I opened a merge request upstream:

Update FEDORA-2023-464fae1680 (now in stable) contains a temporary fix while upstream works to resolve the underlying problem.
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2023-464fae1680

I suggest marking this CLOSED->CURRENTRELEASE, but I won't tell you what to do (anymore) :-D Setting to VERIFIED, though, so that people see there's a fix if they skim the list.
