Packagekit background updates

[Matti Pulkkinen]

Hello,

tl;dr is packagekit supposed to download updates in the background?

On Fedora Workstation, I have long been in the habit of installing
updates through Gnome Software every time before I shut down my
computer. Recently, however, I decided to see how the automatic
background updates work.

After about a week or so of not installing updates manually, I did get
a notification that updates were available, and I expected that when I
next go to shut down my computer, I would have the little checkbox
there that I could tick to install the pending updates. However, that
checkbox was not there.

The very first time booting the machine after installing F35
Workstation, updates really were downloaded in the background and the
checkbox was there, so I know the facility in question does work. It's
just that it does not seem to trigger on anything beyond the very first
boot. Is this intended behavior, even though I have the "automatic
updates" setting enabled in Gnome Software?

I wish it would automatically do it on reboot/shutdown.

Do what? Remember that HyperKitty doesn't quote anything by default and
most people here are seeing your post in their mail reader.

That quote is mis-attributed as it's what I said, not what you said.
Doing these things manually in HyperKitty is prone to this sort of
mistake, which IMHO is one reason email is to be preferred.
