Addendum: I noticed this morning that a full shut-down of the machine (click "Shut Down" instead of "Restart" when prompted) causes offline updates to install correctly. I also experience this from time to time. It happened twice this week. I've also seen other people talking about this problem, including on Reddit and also a Brazillian Linux Youtuber in his last review of Neon: https://youtu.be/TWqQi4wj8Q0?t=285 (There are automatic English subtitles). I'll be changing the status to confirmed since there is enough evidence this is not an isolated problem. IIUC: The boot process checks for a symlink in the root directory called "/system-update" and if present it does the offline update. That symlink is created when you do "Update All" in Discover, however something else removes it sometime later. The symlink seems to disappear when the following appears in the journal: PackageKit[1386]: uid 1001 is trying to obtain org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-sources-refresh auth (only_trusted:0) PackageKit[1386]: uid 1001 obtained auth for org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-sources-refresh PackageKit[1386]: refresh-cache transaction /1735_acdcdcec from uid 1001 finished with success after 7112ms IDK what system-sources-refresh is or does, maybe something to do with the thing in the system tray that checks for updates? This is a problem on the startup of your distro, I see it's Fedora and they seem to support it, still something to be discussed with them. (In reply to Aleix Pol from comment #4) > This is a problem on the startup of your distro, I see it's Fedora and they > seem to support it, still something to be discussed with them. This bug also affects KDE Neon. Maybe this bug should be reopened since Neon is a KDE project? I'm reopening this because this also affects KDE Neon, and since Neon is a KDE project it makes sense to reopen this to keep track of progress on Neon's side. Thank you for your bug report! However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since before 01/01/2025. Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's. Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report. Thanks for understanding! |
