From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: The panel applet never shows my system in need of updates, even when they are available. If I click on the applet, in addition to the standard window, I get one requesting that I register with rhn. If I click the "register" button, the updater launches. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.1.16-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click the rnh applet in the panel 2.Click the register option Actual Results: Asks me to register every time. Applet never shows a need to update. Expected Results: Applet should show the "red !" when packages are available. Registering should happen once, not each time. Additional info:
I used Fedora Core 1's up2date and I could skip right past the registration screen without supplying any information. So, it would appear you don't actually need to register anything to get Fedora Core updates. Therefore I would consider Fedora Core's up2date asking me for registration information (at any time) to be a bug.
Fedora Core 3 test 1 has the correct behavior; I think Fedora Core 2 worked fine with this as well, so I suspect this bug has been resolved. Can either of you confirm? Both behaviors seem to be fine now: - up2date gnome applet does not ask for unnecessary registrations - up2date watcher applet shos the "red !" when packages are available -Chris Kuivenhoven
Sorry, I haven't used Fedora since FC1. I'll close it. Thanks,
