Description of problem: Some times PackageKit doesn't recognize new updates. When I go to the console and execute "yum update" it worked. It seems also to work fine, if I execute "yum clean all" and then it worked in PackageKit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 Beta, Gnome-Version of PackageKit How reproducible: Some times Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora 2. start PackageKit Actual results: sometimes "no updates" are shown, also when new updates are available Expected results: show a list of available updates Additional info:
We only do the notification of normal updates (e.g. not security updates) once a week, no matter the checking frequency the user specified. Has it been more than one week since you were notified?
I don't wait until a notification appears automatically. In the last 2 weeks I opened PackageKit manually (Software-Updates) to see if new updates are available and wondered that in such a heat-phase before a new distribution-release is scheduled, more days along no updates available. But with "yum update" I can see it. So with your explanation it could be the reason for that behaviour. Is this behaviour in past releases (Fedora 14) the same? Because when I remember back, this is not the case? Maybe I changed the settings in Fedora 14 for a long time to notify me once per day? And now I didn't change this setting on the new Fedora 15 Beta installation? I couldn't remember what I did (or not did) for a long time :-( If this is the case, then this is not a bug. And I understand this behaviour. Thank you
Same here, in most of time Package-kit will not show any updates.
I'm also having same problems. The issue here is that packagekit goes not show updates (not talking about the notification) even when i select the update application from the menu. Running 'yum update' does show and install updates. I feel at least the application should really show updates when i manually open it. (I've set update check period to hourly if thats relevant) Here's a thing which i feel is bug * open update from the menu, it shows no updates * do yum update on a terminal. 54 packages are updated If it can happen due to some setting/config changes then it'd be good to know what it is

Thanks for the hint on the issue. Does that mean setting the gsettings value using dconf for the root user will be honoured by packagekit

What we should do though (re #716596) is to stop shipping an outdated man page (minor issue though). Sorry for the noise.
Workaround: Install yum-updatesd.
If nothing else, the gpk-prefs should be updated to reflect this behaviour. At least for me it's not obvious that "check for updates daily" really means that it will be checked once a week...
(In reply to comment #6) > Please read > http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-May/100468.html I don't know if you speak about the behaviour of update notifications or about the behaviour of gpk-update-viewer. In se second case, you mean gpk-update-viewer only show packages to update once a week except if we have security update? Can you clarify
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
