Description of problem: My laptop is quite old and slow, so checking for updates causes slowdowns and general hard drive grinding. So I set in "Software Update Preferences" (System->Preferences->Software Updates) that packagekit shouldn't check for new updates, that is: Check for updates - Never Automatically install - Nothing Check for major updates - Never Check for updates when using mobile broadband - unchecked. Packagekit seems to check for updates spite of settings - an icon of new updates just showed in tray. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.27.3 from updates-testing. How reproducible: By waiting. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just wait. Actual results: New updates are detected. Expected results: Updates should be detected when I manually check for them. Additional info: None. If any are needed, I'll try to provide.
