Description Jack 2024-05-14 18:15:18 UTC
SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. enable check for updates
2. set updates to check daily
3. set use offline updates

OBSERVED RESULT
the user is notified about software updates, but then do not actually download and install. Instead, the user has to manually install them from the software store.

EXPECTED RESULT
there should be a notification that software updates are available and are downloading and installing. When the user does come to turn the computer off, software updates are done on next boot.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Fedora KDE Plasma 6


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I asked about this behaviour on fedora forums https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/how-to-automatically-update-when-turning-pc-on-and-off/114049/3

Even with updates selected on reboot. this does not happen when the computer is turn off and then later turned back on.

This is likely a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471548

Is this still a problem with latest 6.2?
Comment 6 Jack 2025-01-26 17:13:11 UTC
Yes, it does appear to be so.

I had another computer on Kubuntu 24.04 LTS that had around 800 or so updates again, even with automatically check for updates and download and install updates. This is on a computer that is used by elderly people, and thus they do not even know how to check for updates or anything, and is only used for browsing and shopping online.
