RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Lubos Kocman 2010-07-25 19:19:47 UTC 
Description of problem:


Software Update applet is getting list updates each 5 seconds. This makes him completely unusable. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -qa PackageKit*
PackageKit-glib-0.5.8-8.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-gtk-module-0.5.8-8.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-0.5.8-8.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.5.8-8.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.5.8-8.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-yum-0.5.8-8.el6.x86_64
PackageKit-device-rebind-0.5.8-8.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to gnome
2. Click on the orange "star-like" icon placed on gnome-panel signalizing that updates are available
  
Actual results:

Dialog gets refreshed every 5 seconds. This makes him completely unusable


Expected results:

Update applet should get list of updates in reasonable interval.
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-25 19:37:33 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2010-07-28 15:16:11 UTC 
Could you please get the output of:

killall gpk-update-icon
gpk-update-icon --verbose

and attach it to this bug. The only reason the update viewer is meant to self-refresh is:

a) when the network state changes
b) when the number of updates changes (i.e. the user does yum update on the command line)
c) any of the repos changes enabled state

So I'm kinda confused which of those are causing the 5 second refresh. Thanks.

Could you try the build here please: http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=2645366

You'll need to restart after installing the update.
