Description Charles R. Anderson 2011-04-03 22:21:05 UTC
Description of problem:
gpk-update-icon is missing from package, leaving nothing to notify the user of updates.  This is a Beta blocker according to the Beta release readiness criteria.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.91.92-2.fc15.i686

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install F15 Beta TC1 Live Desktop i686 image to hard drive
2. boot up
3. wait 60 minutes
  
Actual results:

no updates are offered, even though a manual "yum update" shows available updates


Expected results:

some automated process should be available in the default Desktop install to notify the user of available updates

Comment 1 Charles R. Anderson 2011-04-03 22:28:00 UTC
Please consider this bug as an Fedora 15 Beta release blocker [1].  It impacts the release criterion that "The desktop default update manager must not periodically check for updates when the system is booted live, but must periodically check for updates when running on an installed system".

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2011-04-04 15:14:03 UTC
The notification framework is different due to GNOME 3 changes, but it's still there. You may not have waited long enough, or may have missed the notification popping up at the bottom of the screen. Can you double check?

Comment 3 Charles R. Anderson 2011-04-04 15:25:35 UTC
I let it sit all day, and overnight, still no notification.  I suspended it for a couple hours this morning, then just resumed right now, and there are no notifications at all in the lower right corner.  I've been running this since Saturday morning..I've never seen an update notification.  I'll let it sit all day today just in case a notification appears.

What process should be running to check for updates?  Is there a log I can check?

Comment 4 Charles R. Anderson 2011-04-04 15:40:55 UTC
In case this is useful, here are some logs and a process listing, but I don't know what I should be looking for:

Comment 5 Charles R. Anderson 2011-04-04 15:58:01 UTC
I found the upstream commit.  Based upon this info, I'm reassigning the component to gnome-settings-daemon:

commit 3eb5c683d694050c12f438545b647362ebf8f0d3
Author: Richard Hughes <richard>
Date:	2011-02-22

    Remove the gpk-update-icon process, the functionality has been moved
    to gnome-settings-daemon

Here are some logs related to gnome-settings:

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2011-04-05 04:43:29 UTC
A difference from F14 is that it's currently set to check for updates weekly, not daily. It should do an initial check soon after install anyway, I think, but that may have got broken or changed too. I've only 'tested' this on my installed desktop so far, I'm not sure of the intended/actual immediate post-install behaviour.

Richard, any hints here?

Comment 7 Richard Hughes 2011-04-05 08:16:33 UTC
The update mechanism is indeed quite different from F14. The notification "you have updates" is shown at most once per week (as requested by the designers) although security updates are still shown the sane day. It's also a gnome-settings-daemon plugin rather than a seporate binary.

If you want to check something is being done, just do "cat ~/.xsession-errors grep updates-plugin"

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2011-04-05 15:35:45 UTC
Richard: "The update mechanism is indeed quite different from F14. The notification "you have updates" is shown at most once per week (as requested by the designers) although security updates are still shown the sane day."

Key question, though - right after you install, should it do an initial check and notification quite quickly? Or does it wait till a week after you install or something?

Comment 9 Charles R. Anderson 2011-04-05 15:59:52 UTC
Created attachment 490024 [details]
.xsession-errors

I've attached my .xsession-errors.

I did not receive any initial notification of updates right after install.  Should we delay the release of F15 Beta until it has been at least a week for testers to report whether the updates-plugin works? 

Another key question, IMO, is whether pre-releases like Alphas and Betas should check more frequently than once per week, such as once per day, because otherwise the value provided by pre-release testing is diminished--we may end up in a situation where new updates sit for a week unnoticed, delaying any potential testing & bug reports that much more. These delays could have an undesirable affect on the tight development/testing schedule. Also, how does this week-long delay interact with updates-testing & bodhi karma timeouts? Packages may end up being pushed from updates-testing to stable updates with less or no testing due to the less frequent checking for updates by testers.

Is there a gsettings key I can change to make the notification more frequent? Can I schedule the checking for a time of day or week that I know I will be connected to a fast network for downloading the updates?

Comment 10 Charles R. Anderson 2011-04-05 19:15:46 UTC
I finally got an updates notification within the last few hours...

Comment 11 Matthias Clasen 2011-04-06 03:09:32 UTC
'Notify right after installation' is not part of the release critera, in my reading. Not going to comment on whether it is desirable or not.

And I don't really think its worth engineering a complicated solution for different notification frequency pre-release vs. post-release. Most people who are using a pre-release Fedora are probably checking for updates more frequently than the plugin will do, even if we increase the frequency.

It'll do a check for updates within a few minutes. If you enable or disable a repo then it's immediate., 

Richard.

Comment 13 Adam Williamson 2011-04-06 15:55:24 UTC
Well, based on this bug and my own experience it doesn't seem to - could there be a bug there?

matthias: no, it's not part of the criteria, but it does relate to the test we use to enforce the criteria, which might need to change...and I'd just like to understand the intentions here. e.g. it seems like the intention is to have an immediate check, but it's not happening. I'll have a look at xsession-errors on a fresh install soon, and test if enabling a repo does cause a check...

Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2011-04-06 15:56:02 UTC
I'm making this not a Beta blocker any more, though, as it's clear the mechanism is working, which is the intent of the criterion.

Comment 15 Charles R. Anderson 2011-04-10 15:58:34 UTC
Some notes on how to see/change the settings related to updating:

gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates

On a Live boot (Beta RC2) this shows:

org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates active false
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates auto-download-updates false
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates auto-update-type 'security'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates banned-firmware '*/intel-ucode/*'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates connection-use-mobile false
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates connection-use-wifi true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates enable-check-firmware true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates force-get-updates-login false
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates frequency-get-updates 86400
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates frequency-get-upgrades 604800
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates frequency-refresh-cache 86400
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates frequency-updates-notification 604800
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates ignored-devices ''

org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates notify-update-complete-restart true
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates notify-update-not-battery false

org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates priority 300
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates session-startup-timeout 300
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates update-battery false

Values can be changed like this:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates frequency-updates-notification <interval-in-seconds>

Comment 16 Charles R. Anderson 2011-06-06 05:39:08 UTC
Closing, as this is working as designed.
