Description Daniel Qarras 2009-12-05 13:46:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
I use my system mainly as a server but I do occasionally login into it via GDM. I run "yum update" manually to be able to be in complete control when and what to update. For this reason I do not need PackageKit checking any updates but it is still nice to have it installing fonts etc automagically.

From System->Preferences->Software Updates I've set:

Check for updates: Never
Automatically install: Nothing
Check for major upgrades: Never
Check for updates when using mobile broadband: Unchecked

But if logging in via GDM and some (possibly only) security updates are available the update applet icon about updates keeps on appearing.

To me the settings above indicate that update check by PackageKit should be disabled. Are my expectations wrong or is this a bug in PackageKit and/or update-applet?

(I've made those configuration changes few weeks ago and rebooted my system since then few times so they should be in use by now.)

Comment 2 Martin Ebourne 2010-01-13 05:26:16 UTC 
I'm seeing this on Fedora 12 as well. I have similarly disabled all notifications in the Software Update Preferences dialog.
Comment 3 BK 2010-01-17 23:26:48 UTC 
Same experience and expectations here (Fedora 12)- I have set preferences to never do anything, yet the update applet clearly is ignoring these settings, and contacting update servers despite explicitly being told not to.

I consider this to be severely broken behavior. I only realized this was happening because I decided to investigate the unexpected data charges it's racked up on my cell phone.

It appears to use up about 5MB to get its update info, and at $2/MB this comes to $10 per unauthorized update inquiry done when connected via my phone.
Comment 4 Richard Hughes 2010-03-23 09:58:35 UTC 
If you remove yum-packagekit, can you reproduce this problem?

I can do one better:

I don't even have it installed. Yet, if the PackageKit Update Applet is enabled in Startup Applications, it will check for updates, despite this being explicitly disabled.

Conversely, a bunch of things related to installing packages will break if the PackageKit Update Applet isn't running. So, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Hmm. Can you get the output of:

killall gpk-update-icon
gpk-update-icon --verbose

and then wait for the icon to appear. When it appears, please ctrl-c and attach the debug output (all of it)

Sure, in f13, we've spit up the processes so you can have the dbus interface without the update checker. We listen :-)

Comment 10 BK 2010-03-24 23:40:44 UTC 
That's dumps from two of my machines, my piece-of-s%&t laptop and one of my desktops, both configured (through gpk-update-icon preferences) to never, ever check for updates.
Comment 11 Richard Hughes 2010-03-25 09:58:36 UTC 
Thanks for the data. Both dumps seem to have:

 - no schema for /apps/gnome-packagekit/update-icon/frequency_get_updates,
using daily

i.e. there was no setting in GConf, and so the update icon fall back to a daily check, which is why it checked for updates. Could you please grab the output of "gconftool-2 -R /apps/gnome-packagekit" on either machine. Thanks.

This is a screenshot of the update preferences on the machine the gconf-dump was taken on.

Ahh, this is caused by a thinko in the gpk_auto_refresh_get_frequency_prefs()
function. I'll fix up git master now, and prep a 2.30 tarball in four days
time, certainly in time for F13. I'll also backport to stable (F12) as this
probably affects quite a few people. Many thanks for all the debugging.
