Description Need Real Name 2010-01-26 21:53:56 UTC
I get some double messages from packagekit.

When it checks if there are updates available, I click to install the updates, and then it checks again if updates are available, and I have to click again to install the updates.

Once I have done that, the button to install the updates is not greyed out. So I have to click the button to install the updates, again.

Once the updates are installed, I am asked if I want to reboot my computer. After I say no, I get a tray icon asking me if I want to reboot my computer.

ARGH!!!

I assume additional deps were added?

That's not right. What version of gnome-packagekit have you installed?

You can ignore the tray icon by right clicking it and selecting hide in the menus.

The problem is being asked to do everything twice. There's no need for that.

I don't think so. I wasn't ever told about any additional deps.

gnome-packagekit-2.28.3-0.1.20091211git.fc12.x86_64

Yes, but this was mentioned for the repetition: overloading the user with identical questions will cause the user to ignore the app or get annoyed with it. If the icon is going to appear, the question doesn't need to be asked.

I was wrong on this. I didn't click "install updates", I clicked "show updates".

The other button was "install security updates", I must have got confused.

Sorry about that.
