RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Martin Krajnak 2019-04-02 11:24:08 UTC
Description of problem:
If I managed to get an error when working with gnome-software and close the application, the error message is still there when I launch the app for the second, even third time.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-software-3.30.6-1.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch gnome-software, get some error message e.g. click Update All in update section (Unable to update "(null)"
2.close gnome-software
3.Launch gnome-software

Actual results:
Error message is still there until it is closed manually.

Expected results:
Error message should gone since it is unrelated to "fresh" start of the app and migh be confusing opening the app half day later.
