Description of problem: If i start puplet it automatically notifies updates, but this only works once, i have to restart the application (or restart my machine) to get a new notification. but the applications always runs i the background. is this normal? btw. i know i can do a yum update but a visual notification would be nicer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: start puplet make a update an wait.... :-) nothing will be done anymore Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This should work fine; it does for me. Can you try running yum-updatesd in the foreground of a terminal (yum-updatesd -f) and then puplet in another and see if there are any errors reported?
i have testet the command yum-updatesd -f now on 2 different machines (one was fresh installed yesterday). on the fresh installed machine i get no output. on the second one yum-updatesd now only outputs: yum-updatesd -f Loading "installonlyn" plugin now for over a day :-)
i think i found the problem. shouldn't yum-updatesd send dbus messages? if i run dbus-monitor i cant see any message, but in /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf emit_via = dbus is set.
no dbus seams to work! if i test with this python script: #!/usr/bin/python import dbus bus = dbus.SystemBus() obj = bus.get_object("edu.duke.linux.yum", "/Updatesd") res = obj.GetUpdateInfo(dbus_interface="edu.duke.linux.yum") print res i get some infos back.
it think this has something to do with this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228994
i looked into /usr/bin/puplet shouldnt the function _refreshInfo called every 10 mins? i have added a simple print command into this function but this is only called once.
