Description TraceyC 2025-08-01 16:02:54 UTC
SUMMARY
With offline updates, all system updates are under "System upgrade". It currently takes 2 clicks to get to the list of packages to be upgraded. The extra click needed doesn't seem to provide any benefit, and makes it slower to get to the information.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have Settings - Software Update set to "After rebooting" and wait for updates to be available
2. Open Discover and go to updates
3. Click on System upgrade

OBSERVED RESULT
One additional line of text with a button "More Information" appears. It's necessary to click this button to show the actual list of updates.

EXPECTED RESULT
For someone who has to look at this daily, it would be convenient to get to the package list with one click.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Solus 4.7
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
Kernel Version: 6.15.6-321.current (64-bit)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm on a rolling release distribution, on the unstable repo. There are updates daily.
I usually want to see what will be updated before doing the update, to see if I can perform it now or need to clean up things in apps (like Firefox) first. Allowing this to be one click would be a quality of life improvement.

This might be as simple as not hiding the "Update from" text, I'm not sure that provides a lot of value.

Having the "More Information" button always shown would make it more discoverable. As of now, it's a hidden button with no hint in the UI for users to discover it, leading to users thinking it doesn't exist, like in bug 507961
