Description of problem: When I run the software update tool, I get the message "no updates are available no network connection was detected" however I have a wired network connection (I'm using it to report this bug). Also, when I use "yum update" at the command line it updates without a problem. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce:Run software update GUI tool Actual results:"no updates are available no network connection was detected" Expected results:Successful Update
Created attachment 591055 [details] Console output of "gpk-update-viewer --verbose" I also see this on Fedora 16 x86_64 Linux. Console output of "gpk-update-viewer --verbose" is attached. But I also notice that the network icon (nm-applet?) has disappeared from the panel. Not sure if that happened at the same time.
The program appears to download all of the metadata and then fails with "No network connection detected" while displaying all of the pending updates as "grayed out". The failure occurs just before it would present the update confirmation dialog.
Also applies to Fedora 17 (32-bit) but not to the version on the distribution CD. The error appears after runnng the initial system updates.
I ran into the same problem on 3.4.9-2.fc16.x86_64 today. The network applet has also disappeared from the Gnome toolbar. yum update succeeds. GUI update succeeded approximately a week ago. Running nm-applet from command line provided some additional information: $ nm-applet ** (nm-applet:2559): WARNING **: Could not initialize NMClient /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager: Method "GetAll" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area ** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area ** (nm-applet:2559): WARNING **: fetch_connections_done: error fetching connections: (19) Method "ListConnections" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Settings" doesn't exist . ** (nm-applet:2559): WARNING **: Failed to register as an agent: (19) Method "Register" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.AgentManager" doesn't exist ** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
It now seems to be working in Fedora 17.
Today I just upgraded to Fedora 17 and now gpk-update-viewer works for me. (In Fedora 16 "yum update" worked, where gpk-update-viewer failed to detect a network connection for me.)

I haven't used 'yum update' since gpk-update-viewer started working again. However, gpk-update-viewer suddenly stopped working again after having worked for over a month, the window just sits there, only showing "Checking for updates" and after a night's sleep I pressed the Quit button as it was still sitting there.

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
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
