Due to the recent change in yum-packagekit, invoking yum will ask packagekitd to quit. If gpk was looking for updates when this happened, a cryptic warning window will pop up (modal windows without parent windows look terrible in gnome3, btw). I think that it should not pop up unless the user was actively using gpk-update-viewer when the operation was cancelled.
I've applied the following upstream: commit 7901a81c0736c3498439cf73aefb95951e297854 Author: Richard Hughes <richard> Date: Mon Oct 8 14:27:19 2012 +0100 updates: Never show the user a message about a cancelled transaction This can happen if the user issues lots of commands using the native packaging tool (e.g. yum) on the command line whilst gnome-settings-daemon is trying to download either the updates list or the offline update packages themselves. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=863856 :100644 100644 84003b5... c9feb4b... M plugins/updates/gsd-updates-manager.c
So I'm not sure if this is the same bug however it seems similar enough that I'll report this here. When my computer suspends *just* before it suspends I see this exact window message. When I resume the computer I get a second identical window with identical message. Same or new bug? This is F17 whereas the bug is reported against F18... PackageKit-0.7.5-1.fc17.x86_64
Also today just moments after I wrote that my ISP started some maintenance here. The network went down (from the modem to the internet). Randomly I got that same message after a little while.
I'm seeing this constantly on a Fresh installation of Fedora 18, with all the updates as of now.
I'm still seeing this on Fedora 19
Seeing this with F19. I think that package management in 2013 should "just work"™, and it's disappointing to see bugs like this persist for nearly two years.
Im having this with fedora 19. There is a bug like that for F17, closed due to EOL. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824856
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
