Description of problem: Summary says it all. Live media should not check for updates. I think we have a policy for that, although I cannot find it atm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): all current F15. e.g. xfce-i386-20110217.00.iso How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot livemedia

This blocks the beta due to release criterion: "The desktop default update manager must not periodically check for updates when the system is booted live, but must periodically check for updates when running on an installed system" I suspect this is because gnome-packagekit's settings have moved to gsettings.
Richard, can you tell us which key are required so I can update the kickstarts? Running dconf or dconf-editor results in crashes, so I cannot look up the necessary keys.
it looks like all the key names are the same, in dconf /apps/gnome-packagekit/ . you can see this by looking at /usr/share/GConf/gsettings/org.gnome.packagekit.gschema.migrate , btw.
Christoph, Adam, we've just moved the updates checking process into a gnome-settings-daemon plugin, so at the moment you probably want to wait for the next upstream release. Then you'll want to set: auto-update-type to 'none' frequency-get-updates to 0 frequency-get-upgrades to 0 frequency-refresh-cache to 0 ignored-devices to '*' all on the org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates schema. Sorry about the key renames. It's all so we can make the updates checking stuff work well with GNOME3 now the panel icon has gone.

I don't think shipping *GNOME* PackageKit is a good idea on either of those desktops. :-) KDE has a native client now (which is also heavily integrated into KDE) and so I don't think it's a big problem GNOME has an embedded client either. That said, shipping the update viewer on XFCE might make sense, but the XFCE guys really need to make a small trivial PackageKit notification client. It's probably two days worth of code for someone familiar with XFCE.

Reviewed at the 2011-03-11 blocker review meeting. Agreed that this is a Beta blocker per criterion "The desktop default update manager must not periodically check for updates when the system is booted live, but must periodically check for updates when running on an installed system". From spin-kickstarts git log, it looks like mclasen pushed a fix for this on March 1: commit fae7f280dfbd346627b2882bcb3d5a01de406b29 Author: Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com> Date: Tue Mar 1 11:04:34 2011 -0500 Update the gnome-packagekit tweaks gnome-packagekit is no longer using GConf, so tweaking GConf keys has little effect. Instead disable the gnome-settings-daemon updates plugin. so we should test and confirm it no longer happens with current live images.
since we have a fix in for this I'm just going to set it to CLOSED, let's re-open if we actually observe this behaviour again.
