Description Ivar Erikson 2018-04-04 20:35:39 UTC

The update systray icon indicates that there are updates available (arrow with blue dot).
Clicking it, bring the dropdown telling me there's 2 updates available.
Clicking "Update" brings me to Discover, which say "No updates". I.e. systray notification daemon (?) isn't updating itself.

Kubuntu 17.10 with backports, all latest updates installed.

Actually, do you have the Flatpak backend installed?

Comment 3 Ivar Erikson 2018-05-10 11:12:45 UTC

Yes, I had Flatpack backend installed as these instructions (your's, if I'm not mistaken):

However the issue isn't present in my new 18.04 install, where I installed the backend via the button in Discover > Settings.

Yep, that's me. :)

Does the issue disappear if you run `flatpak update` from the command line?

Comment 5 Ivar Erikson 2018-05-10 12:51:01 UTC

As mentioned in my previous comment, I'm currently running a new installation of Kubuntu 18.04 (completely wiped my 17.10 before installing), and so far I haven't experienced this particular isse. Which, unfortunately, leaves me unable to test your suggestion.

Comment 6 Nate Graham 2018-05-10 12:54:02 UTC

OK, re-duping to Bug 385754, then.

Seems I spoke too soon, kinda. I just now experienced it again, having the icon indicate updates, and the dropdown telling me that there were two updates available, though none were found either in Discover or by `sudo apt update`

I ran `flatpak update` but the ghost updates persisted.

It did however go away after I did some loggin-in-logging-out, though I did not pay attention to if it was gone after one, or several re-logs, as my purpose for the login-logout was something other than this issue.

* Kubuntu 18.04, with installed Flatpak and Snap backend, via Discover > Settings buttons
