Description Need Real Name 2008-04-18 16:11:44 UTC

When I click "Update system", I sometimes get a popup message telling me a
system failure has occured. This is bad for two reasons:

1. I don't know that this message is from package kit
2. It lacks any useful information at all, and an error without information
needs to be changed or removed.

This error will terrify new users!

Comment 1 Need Real Name 2008-04-19 09:36:16 UTC

If the error pointed to the packagekit icon, it might be better.
Also, it tells me when something has completed too, which is un-unixlike.

Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2008-04-19 12:25:19 UTC

Could you post a screenshot or the text of the error please? Thanks.

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2008-04-19 12:31:18 UTC

It'll be in German - is that okay?

Comment 4 Richard Hughes 2008-04-19 12:45:30 UTC

Eeek - sorry, I'm equally rubbish at French and German; pahh, I struggle with
English and I was born here! ;-)

Can you please do:

killall gpk-update-icon
LANG=en_GB gpk-update-icon --verbose

And attach the complete output. Thanks!

Comment 6 Richard Hughes 2008-04-20 15:21:52 UTC

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Could you please do:

killall gpk-update-icon
LANG=en_GB gpk-update-icon --verbose

And then reproduce the error. I need to see the error in the debug output. Thanks.

Comment 7 Will Woods 2008-04-26 17:04:06 UTC

PackageKit-0.1.12-7.20080425.fc9 is now available - could you update to that and see if you can 
reproduce the error as requested in comment #6? We can't seem to reproduce it here.

Comment 8 Will Woods 2008-04-28 22:12:36 UTC

No response from the reporter, and I've tried all sorts of things to reproduce
the problem with no luck.

Dropping from blocker until we have some way of tracing/reproducing the problem.

Comment 9 Need Real Name 2008-04-29 17:21:03 UTC

I'm waiting for the problem to happen again so I can update the bug. Maybe it's
fixed, or it was fighting with yum-updatesd?

Comment 10 Will Woods 2008-04-29 17:39:38 UTC

Richard seemed to think the problem was fixed. If you haven't been able to
reproduce it with the current PackageKit packages, we should probably close this
bug. You can always reopen it if it *does* come back.

As for yum-updatesd.. it shouldn't be running anymore. We might need to open a
bug about the fact that it isn't obsoleted on upgrade.
