Also see http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20559 where we're doing more debugging.
Does this only happen when you update all the updates, rather than just installing one or two? Also, what method did you use to update, the update viewer of the tray icon? If you can give me _exact_ (insane detail) about how to reproduce this then I would very much appreciate it, at the moment I'm out of ideas.
Hmmm... I'm very much sure I started the update app manually before updates where shown in the tray and then updated all using this window. I think the tray icon shows up as soon as the update list is downloaded in the updater window, does this make sense? I will report back if I can reproduce this with the next round of updates and give more details.
Okay, I've spent the morning looking through some debugging traces, as I managed to reproduce this. Oddly, it only seems to happen when I install all pending updates using the yum backend, rather than when using other backends, although the fix is in gnome-packagekit (backend neutral). It must be some sort of timing race. Could you please try out the packages here: http://www.packagekit.org/packages/ and tell me if this fixes the issue.
a) "Update System" starts the old updater b) even after updates are found, no tray icon shows up to indicate this
Can you try todays packages please (same location). Thanks.
I think this is now fixed, though I don't really understand when the update tray icon is supposed to show up now.
This is still happening. On rawhide, I see the icon show (correctly) that there are new updates for the daily compose. I update, and the icon goes away for the time being. However, I have PK set to check for updates every hour. The _next_ time it checks (ie in an hour), the icon comes back up showing that I have N updates available (where N was the number of packages I just updated). Show Updates yields the same thing as the attachments. We really should get this sorted for F11.
I have also seen the original issue happen about 2 days ago, e.g. the update icon was still visible after applying all updates. I would love to give better information on how to reproduce, but it just seems to happen sometimes :/
Is this now fixed with the latest rawhide? Thanks.
I still see this, with gnome-packagekit-2.27.2-0.2.20090414git PackageKit-0.4.6-4.fc11 Icon shows up, claims 6 updates available, click to start update-viewer, but it finds no updates.
It's like when the program notices that there are no updates, that it doesn't try to remove the icon. It's still broken for me too.
I found the problem, and it's taken me about 2 hours to debug. What happens is: When PK does a successful UpdatePackages or UpdateSystem method, it emits an updates-changed signal to all connected clients, so they request a GetUpdates call and refresh their UI. This was tested to work with the dummy backend, and PK and g-p-k passed all their self tests. It also worked with the yum backend, but wasn't reliable, and the problem could be semi-reliably reproduced by installing _all_ the updates from rawhide at once, rather than cherry-picking. Now, PK installs a yum plugin, refresh-packagekit, which is supposed to be run after the user has run tools like yum-cli, pirut and yumex. This plugin sends a dbus message to PackageKit, telling it that other tools are active, and that it's internal caches are invalid. It also gets the daemon to emit the updates-changed signal if updates list has changed. This ensures that users that use PK and the legacy tools don't get a confused PK. Now, when PK runs yum to do UpdatePackages or UpdateSystem it loads all the default plugins. This INCLUDED refresh-packagekit. This meant that the plugin was sending a message for PK to dump it's cache and send updates-changed, and then the daemon was sending it's own updates-changed a few ms later. The spec only allows one updates-changed signal per foreign transaction at the END of the transaction. The first updates-changed signal was causing the clients to get the new update list, and the second was causing the clients to cancel the first, and reschedule a second check. But in that window there was a race where the incorrect data would be sent before the cancel (as the daemon had not yet dropped it's caches). So, the fix was simple: Don't load refresh-packagekit in the yumBackend. This is simply a case of adding refresh-packagekit to disabled_plugins before we initialise yum. This fixes the problem for me. I'll do F11 build now.
Could you please try: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1318633 If this works, I'll ask for tags. Thanks.
I've requested a tag here: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/1628
Thanks for the bug fix and the info on how it was broken. Appreciate it.
I can still see this issue with PK 0.4.6-8. I updated fully. One hour later, PK searched for new updates and is now displaying the tray icon. If I click on it to view updates, it says no updates are available. I can't reopen the bug report though :-/
Ok, given the explaination in #17, this must also be triggered by another thing. I also just got the icon back after applying updates, telling me the same 22 (?) updates are available. Reopening.

Adding flag fedora_requires_release_note to track getting this on the Fedora 11 Release Notes.
I can't reproduce this. Is anybody able to reliably reproduce this, and are able to give precise instructions? Can somebody get the output of "dbus-monitor --system" and "pkmon --verbose" when this happens please? Also, the output from "killall gpk-update-icon && gpk-update-icon --verbose" would be really good. Thanks.
Steps to reproduce: System>Preferences>Software Updates Set to HOURLY downgrade some stuff check for updates update WAIT ONE HOUR icon comes back erroneously. Same happens if you have it daily, but you wait one day.
I can see this a well.
On Fedora Rawhide x86-64 (updated from Beta to yesterday): (in Gnome) Icon does not show, but even if updates are available (as per yum and yum extender ...with almost all plugins), gpk-update-viewer says it is otherwise.

A. Mani -- re: comments #29 and #30, you are looking at a different problem. Please file that as a separate bug. This bug concerns the specific bug about the tray icon sticking around after a successful update.
*** Bug 498709 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Filed it as a new bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500923
Still not fixed in Fedora 11 Release Candidate. Please change Version to F-11.
Created attachment 344107 [details] dbus-monitor --system and pkmon --verbose output This is the output of dbus-monitor --system and pkmon --verbose as demanded in #26. It starts when the update icon appeared for the first time. It contains the 'real' update, a one hour of waiting (that is, a lot of noise). When the icon appeared for the second time, I started gpk-update-viewer again, get 'no updates'. Then the log ends.
(In reply to comment #35) > Created an attachment (id=344107) [details] > dbus-monitor --system and pkmon --verbose output Thanks for that. According to that log (whew!), the daemon is doing exactly the correct thing, which is expected as I found and fixed the bug found in comment 17. There looks to be a client problem, possible in the PkClient or GpkCheckUpdate objects. I'll hunt now.

Jiri, can you try with a new PackageKit from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1356621 -- thanks.
The same. The only difference was that the real update ended by 'getting informations/files?' (I do not remember exactly), i.e. at the end of the update quite huge amount of data was downloaded.
*** Bug 500523 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
(In reply to comment #41) > The same. Can you try setting /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf to have "UseUpdateCache=false" please. This turns of all the caching in the dameon.
(In reply to comment #40) > http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1356621 -- thanks. This has fixed it for me, Icon comes and goes. Tried running "yum update" manually to fool it, still comes and goes :)
rhughes: Is the PackageKit.conf "UseUpdateCache=false" recommendation an official fix due out in updated packages? Or are you recommending this as a workaround for users affected?
FYI, rhughes is on a honeymoon trip for a couple of weeks IIRC. So I guess, we need to document the workaround if this actually works.
(In reply to comment #40) > Jiri, can you try with a new PackageKit from > http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1356621 -- thanks. I can also confirm that these packages don't fix the problem here, not even when used with gnome-packagekit from comment #38.
I tried with updates from comment #40 and comment #38 and with UseUpdateCache=false and I am still getting the orange sun icon approx. one hour after I did the update. The tooltip says that there is the same number of updates as before and when I start the update, I get "there are no more updates". I.e., nothing changed. Moreover, as I described in comment #41, huge amount of data is downloaded at the end of the 'real' update. Hence, at least for me "UseUpdateCache=false" does not look like a solution. Moreover, the description of this option in the /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf does not look like something that should be suggested as a workaround.

I agree. That shouldn't of fixed it, it's the result of me banging my head against a wall trying to work out where the bug can be. I'm going to do some more detailed code review in the client now, and try to find the root cause.

Yes, the new packages fixes it here.
Confirmed fixed (tested with taskID=1379550 only then with addition of taskID=1379557 on a i686PAE Gnome desktop) The installation of a package went fine, then an icon appeared (refresh-apckagekit) then disappeared few seconds later...
Looks good here too.
(In reply to comment #57) > Looks good here too. I've updated PackageKit packages to those suggested in comment#54. Since then I've updated to today's updates.

Running F11 x86, my update icon no longer shows up at all, not for new packages, not during package searches/installs/etc. I don't know if it is related to this bug or not but its bothersome. PackageKit version 4.8.1

PackageKit version 4.8.1 By default we are hiding the icon where the calling application is still open. This means if you open gpk-update-viewer, and then start an update, the icon will not show as you can cancel the transaction in the update viewer UI. If you do a killall gpk-update-viewer, the icon will reappear, and you can get the generic progress window with the cancel buttons. If you don't like this preference, and want an icon for every transaction, just set the GConf key /apps/gnome-packagekit/update-icon/watch_active_transactions to true, in todays rawhide.
This is still happening for me in Rawhide. PackageKit-0.5.1-0.1.20090727git.fc12.x86_64 gnome-packagekit-2.27.4-0.1.20090727git.fc12.x86_64 The update icon reported 1311 packages to update last night. There were a few broken deps so I had to update via yum (the refresh-packagekit plugin is installed for yum, btw) and pass --skip-broken. Several hours after updating, the gnome PK icon still reports 1311 packages to update, even though it's only a small handful of packages were skipped.
