Description Leon Keijser 2011-06-06 15:40:32 UTC
Description of problem:
Since upgrading from F14 to F15, gnome doesn't display an icon/message anymore when there are new software updates available.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
PackageKit-0.6.14-2.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
I have set (by means of gpk-prefs) to check for updates Daily. When updates were available 2 days ago (checked via 'yum update', or gpk-update-viewer) there was no notification message and/or icon informing me about them.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. wait until updates for installed packages become available
2. after that, wait at least 24 hours
3. log in
  
Actual results:
No notifications are issued when software updates are available.

Expected results:
A notification should be issued to the user, informing them about available software updates.

Additional info:
My user status is 'Available' (not 'Busy', since this can prevent notifications). I've set it to check daily. Updates are available for 3 days now, without a notification being issued.

same here with set it to check hourly ...

Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2011-06-06 17:42:41 UTC
Please see http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-May/100468.html

Comment 3 Eric Tanguy 2011-06-06 17:52:51 UTC
So the solution would be to change frequency-updates-notification gsettings ?
How to change this ?

Comment 4 Paul Lipps 2011-06-08 02:11:08 UTC
I've yet to see a notification of any type of software updates, critical or not since I installed Fedora 15.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2011-06-10 14:30:23 UTC
It seems a similar effect is being seen using kpackagekit as well, regardless of kpk's "Check for updates" preference (e.g. if set to Hourly, Daily), it seems to not display anything until much later.

Comment 6 Kyle Pablo 2011-06-10 14:33:46 UTC
Problem exist here too.  Did preupgrade from f14->f15.

PackageKit-0.6.14-2.fc15.x86_64


I'm experiencing this as a KDE user.

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2011-06-10 14:36:50 UTC
Possible false alarm on my part, I reset the kpk preference to hourly, restarted the box, and several minutes after login I see an updates notification.

Comment 8 Carl-Johan Kjellander 2011-08-23 21:20:08 UTC
I have not seen a single notification since an upgrade via 
yum to F15 several months ago, on two machines.

Comment 9 Carl-Johan Kjellander 2011-08-23 23:34:52 UTC
packagekitd is not running on my system btw.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 18:12:23 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
