Description of problem: When I get the notification that system updates are available, and gpk-update-viewer is launched, it will often simply not work. Pressing "Install updates" does a few things, and then the process stops. "Install updates" is now disabled and the only way to try again is to restart gpk-update-viewer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-3.6.2-1.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: 80% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start gpk-update-viewer 2. Press Install Updates Actual results: It stops mid-process. Expected results: Updates are installed. Additional info:
I've been able to use sudo yum update manually to sidestep this - but I am also experiencing this on FC18 x86_64 too. If I use sudo to run gpk-update-viewer, it mentions what it will need to do (further than without the sudo), but then does nothing and needs a restart. This is currently 100% reproducible for me. I can confirm it is the same version as above.
Pierre, I am going to try checking top (or process monitor) when I next see this - it may be a duplicate of #909761. If we can prove it - then we should add our names to the CC list there and close this as a dupe.
Happened again today, and top shows it eating 100% CPU. So it could be a dupe.
I have 100% cpu too. I think is definitely a duplicate. I don't think I can set the status though.
