SUMMARY I'm using KDE Plasma on an encrypted root partition. When I activate offline updates, I have to enter the passphrase to install them and then to start my system normally. Instead, a systemd service could store the keyfile of the root partition temporarily in the initramfs, install the update and remove the keyfile again after installing the updates. This way, I don't have to enter my password just to install the required updates. This should be an optional feature though as it might be a security concern for some users.
with this should come that new options to the power actions of kickoff are added, respectively "update and shutdown" and "update and reboot". The keyfile should only be included if the user chooses one of those options. "update and shutdown" should then reboot the pc, install the updates and then poweroff, before the poweroff though the keyfile is removed again, so that the password has to be entered again at next boot. This should be equivalent to "update and reboot". If only shutdown or reboot are hit, the system should actually only be rebooted or shutdown without installing updates and without adding the keyfile to initramfs
> When I activate offline updates, I have to enter the passphrase to install them and then to start my system normally. Would instead bug #436928 be sufficient for your needs? > If only shutdown or reboot are hit, the system should actually only be rebooted or shutdown without installing updates This sounds like bug #435845.
