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 Michael Catanzaro 2020-03-18 17:45:17 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1805265 +++

When gnome-software/packagekitd prepared packages for offline updates there was a checkbox in the shutdown dialog to perform offline updates before shutdown/reboot.

It was a convenient way for users to do updates and a reminder they have updates waiting without which many users fail to ever install updates.

Since (probably) F31 it no longer works. The checkbox doesn't show up when there are updates. To make the checkbox appear you have to open GNOME Software, go to the Updates screen, click "Reboot and install", click Cancel and then open the shutdown dialog.

This is most likely caused by suspending the packagekitd process. GNOME Shell then cannot check the status of updates and can't show the checkbox.

Proposed solutions:
1) revert the change to suspend the packagekitd process when it's not needed.

2) resume the packagekitd process to get the updates status before the shutdown dialog is shown.

The option 2) would be preferred if it significantly doesn't delay the shutdown dialog because 1) would result in constantly higher consumption of memory.

Deferring a decision on Prioritized Bug status until after we consult with the Workstation WG. https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2020-02-26/fedora_prioritized_bugs_and_issues.2020-02-26-16.00.log.html#l-105

We think it's been broken since Fedora 29.

BTW: this regressed in PackageKit 1.1.11 (nice version number). So Fedora 29 was indeed the first broken version.

We're going to revert the change in PackageKit, so makes sense to do that for RHEL 8, rather than patch gnome-shell.
