Description of problem: when there is actvity (which I do not want) of packagekit it beeps and broadcasts to xterms, etc. e.g.: Message from syslogd@surfplank2 at Jan 15 11:32:56 ... PackageKit: daemon quit How come? why is this necessary? We have pulseaudio for sound, we have dmesg, syslog, messages, whatever. We also have a user that doesn't want non-interactive installs, a user that wishes to have full control. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): PackageKit-0.6.21-2.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: it happens. also whe you manually run pkg-con it beeps Steps to Reproduce: 1. run pkg-con 2. 3. Actual results: see above Expected results: quietness, 100% OFF-configuration Additional info:

Why is every xterm getting the audit message? Richard.
PK may indirectly cause beeping through syslogging whatever unneeded stuff -especially when I do effort to turn PK off - due to issues with the not-so-well-tested systemd package. I did restart install a recent systemd and did restart systemd-logind.service on request because some issues weren't fixed. So please make PK more disable-ble. Please make it log less and log elsewhere. And please fix the systemd interaction as PK is the only application doing this so far. Thanks!
I just logged out of Gnome. I then logged in of Gnome. I set up my applications and windows. Then shortly thereafter. Beep. Broadcast in all terminal windows: PackageKit: daemon quit [root@surfplank2 ~]# grep Pack /var/log/messages Feb 1 19:05:29 surfplank2 dbus[3277]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.PackageKit' (using servicehelper) Feb 1 19:05:29 surfplank2 dbus-daemon[3277]: dbus[3277]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.PackageKit' (using servicehelper) Feb 1 19:05:29 surfplank2 PackageKit: daemon start Feb 1 19:05:29 surfplank2 dbus[3277]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.PackageKit' Feb 1 19:05:29 surfplank2 dbus-daemon[3277]: dbus[3277]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.PackageKit' Feb 1 19:10:35 surfplank2 PackageKit: daemon quit So why? I did not set PK to do anything. So why is it started? Why does it beep and/or log anything? Why does it take so long? (5 minutes!) Why can't I simply uninstall it? Did you check the dependency hell?
(In reply to comment #3) > Beep. How have you setup your system? Is it very customized, or a standard GNOME 3 Fedora install? Richard.
4-disk raid, crypto over that, lvm2 on that. fedora 16 (upgraded since 2007) git radeon driver git mesa kernel.org kernel no other processes beep except for the nuts upsd.
And it happened again yesterday afternoon when I booted this box into kernel.org 3.2.4. Why does dbus it start when I tell PK to do nothing? Why does it try to log stuff when I tell it to do nothing? Why does it broadcast this log? Why does it beep?
I logged out. I logged in. beep. I could start my apps. Then, over all text terminals: [root@epia ~]# Message from syslogd@surfplank2 at Apr 26 15:43:45 ... PackageKit: daemon quit (I am on surfplank2, but have a terminal open to various other boxes such as epia) So WHY oh WHY can't PK keep quiet? So WHY can't I simply but totally disable this? So WHY can't I simply remove this? (dependency hell starts here) Please fix those design issues!
(In reply to comment #7) > So WHY oh WHY can't PK keep quiet? You're the only one who's reported anything like this. I think you need to work out why you're getting console beeps when a daemon quits.
Wrong. Why me? Who designed that stuff? PK should not even start. You did not explain how tot totally disable PK.
I plug in my camera to transfer some pic sto the PC. I unlock the screensaver: Message from syslogd@surfplank2 at Apr 28 10:16:31 ... PackageKit: daemon start What is the correlation?
And a few minutes later something pops up that says that important updates are available. I did not enable this. I do not want this I did not start this. I can't uninstall this. PLEASE fix!

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is 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" 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Please allow us to get rid of PK. Please make the packaging system more modular: please avoid unnecessary dependency hell. Please give users a choice. Please provide an on/off switch for a service to begin with. Thanks.

Since I updated to PackageKit-0.8.14-2.fc20.x86_64, unsolicited messages appear in my terminal. I don't need to do anything, just have my gnome-terminal opened, and a message appears out of the blue like this: > Message from syslogd@localhost at Dec 5 19:30:29 ... > PackageKit:daemon quit Also I hear a 'beep' sound. When I run a yum command, the messages clutter the output: > $ yum history info 570 > Loaded plugins: changelog, langpacks, refresh-packagekit > > Message from syslogd@localhost at Dec 5 19:33:55 ... > PackageKit:daemon start > > Message from syslogd@localhost at Dec 5 19:33:55 ... > PackageKit:daemon quit > Transaction ID : 570 > ... (I hear beeps again). Downgrading to PackageKit-0.8.13-1.fc20.x86_64 solves the problem.
*** Bug 1038040 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Reported upstream and fixed: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72275
We do not use SElinux.
(In reply to udo from comment #23) > We do not use SElinux. IIUC, this bug is about "daemon quit" and other messages from PackageKit being verbosely displayed on the console. It turns out that PackageKit was using EMERG syslog level by virtue of not setting the level explicitly (what a great default BTW :)). Since this is now fixed, you should not be seeing those messages anymore.
Re: Comment #24 "Since this is now fixed, you should not be seeing those messages anymore." Fixed upstream yes, but not in fedora (yet).

fc19 please?
This bug is (currently) against f20, and that's the only place where I've been able to reproduce this. I'll take a look at f19's code.
PackageKit-0.6.21-2.fc16.x86_64 see comment #1.
fc16 != fc19
It just shows how old the issue is. I simply removed the nuisance of PK and also NM as the progress of fixing issues is way too slow. That is my workaround.
I've only fixed the dup'd issue starting from comment #18 fwiw
PackageKit-0.8.14-3.fc20 has been pushed to the Fedora 20 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
