RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Tomas Jamrisko 2013-07-24 07:47:49 UTC
Description of problem:
When downloading/obtaining of updates fails for whatever reason (e.g. no internet connection) a window notifying about failing updates appears. This windows is a PITA as it appears periodically and several of them can be active. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-packagekit-3.8.2-2.el7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disconnect from the internet, try to get updates. 

Actual results:
A window pops up

Expected results:
There should be a notification

Additional info:
This is a really obnoxious UI "feature". The updates are trying to run without users interference in the background and this window just completely breaks it. A notification once per lost connection is sufficient.

Upstream we've fixed this so we only notify (without a modal dialog) every 5 times  we fail, i.e. transient errors don't get a pop-up. There are string changes to do this, so not something easily backportable.

Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2020-12-15 07:27:02 UTC
After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
