Description of problem: When packagekit (pk-update-icon) cannot connect to the all configured repositories I get very frequent error bubble messages that don't really say anything: An internal system error has occurred. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-0.1.9-4.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. change one configured repository to use baseurl that timeouts 2. wait an hour Actual results: You get one useless error message per hour Expected results: Actual error message (repository foobar has network problems: connection timed out ...) One error message per day Additional info:
Should be fixed in 0.1.10.
Please reopen if this is still a problem.
Richard, thanks. With gnome-packagekit-0.1.10-1.fc9.i386 I still have to problems: 1) Error message is now much better but it is abruptly cut on "or" word: "No network connection available: Problem with loading repository metadata, this can be caused by network problems or" 2) I still get those bubble messages way too often. I think there should be limiter on how often packagekit will show this message. Once a day could be good starting point?
3) Error message says "No network connection available" but I have working network connection :) The real problem is that one of the repositories don't response (timeout). Maybe the message still needs some fine tuning :)
This is fixed upstream now.
