Description of problem: The option in the "Software Update Preferences" dialog NEVER to check for updates is ignored by the update daemon, which checks for them quite often when this option is set. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-0.1.12-12.20080430.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Set the option "Check for Updates" in the "Software Update Preferences" dialog to NEVER; observe the behavior of the update daemon. Expected results: I interpret the NEVER option as meaning that I must check for updates manually if I want them, thus avoiding lengthy update checks over sluggish wireless connections. Actual results: The update daemon appears to interpret NEVER as meaning EVERY TIME A NETWORK CONNECTION GOES LIVE.
I'm seeing this problem too. I would like to disable packagekit completely on my laptop & only do manual updates. also there seems be no way to remove the packagekit applets from the menu bar :( I tried to uninstall packagekit but that removes print-config as well. yumex does a much better job for me Richard
So if you set the option to "never" and then restart your computer, is an update scheduled? I can;t reproduce here. Thanks.
I have had the option set to NEVER since installing Fedora 9 some weeks ago, restarting the computer a great number of times in the intervening period. I take this computer between several wireless networks and one wired network; update checks are made when I establish a connection with a network. I originally installed from the Live-CD for the preview release, if that is a relevant factor.
