Description Jirka Daněk 2011-04-28 19:09:26 UTC
Description of problem:
Now when applets were removed in GNOME 3, users will have to relay on specific applications to provide them with necesarry information. Users with slower / less stable internet connection need to know how are the network operations going. It is not productive to have update manager downloading at few KiB/s or so, because it blocks other operations, like searching in package list in other applications (package manager, yum).

I need to know how fast the download is going. Maybe some rough ETA...

Updating in command line with yum gives a lot of in -progress info and almost none before the process. Pirut tells a lot before (list of updated packages marked either as updates, critical updates or new testing versions, update notes for each package) and almost nothing during downloading and installing. I think this disproportion should be corrected on the part of pirut.

Maybe some "Show details" button which would roll out some pane with progress details could be proposed to fix this

Comment 1 Jirka Daněk 2011-04-28 19:14:03 UTC
Of course, best would be integrating it into the current UI: progressbars for each package in the list, maybe with number in  % and download speed.

And speed and maybe also % for the whole download.

Comment 2 Russell Harrison 2013-03-23 17:53:35 UTC
I agree that some indication needs to be provided. Currently the only thing I can see that gives me any indication of something being done is that the "Install Updates" button is greyed out.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 17:20:35 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 16:39:01 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 13:43:51 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
