Hi! I'm using fedora 10 rawhide up to date running with KDE4.1.2. Today (10/2/2008), after a reboot, I noticed the icon of the packagekit working as usual (downloading refresh list, and so on *sorry for the rough translation, I'm using a french version). But instead of displaying a alert icon (red circle), it displayed the icon corresponding to downloading packages and installing packages. I have checked in the /var/log/yum.log file and here is what it showed : ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ...lots of updates Oct 01 19:44:35 Updated: kdeartwork-extras-4.1.2-2.fc10.i386 Oct 01 19:44:48 Updated: 7:kdenetwork-4.1.2-2.fc10.i386 Oct 01 20:00:24 Installed: kernel-2.6.27-0.372.rc8.fc10.i686 Oct 01 20:00:24 Updated: rpm-4.5.90-0.git8461.8.i386 Oct 02 14:15:05 Installed: createrepo-0.9.5-2.fc9.noarch Oct 02 14:15:06 Installed: 1:anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-3.fc10.noarch Oct 02 14:15:07 Installed: preupgrade-0.9.8-1.fc10.noarch Oct 02 14:45:41 Erased: openoffice.org-impress Oct 02 14:45:43 Erased: openoffice.org-calc-core Oct 02 14:45:44 Erased: openoffice.org-base Oct 02 14:45:45 Erased: openoffice.org-calc ...lots of more yummeries ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The October 01 lines are from my initiative, so for the October 02 lines beginning at 14:45:41. But the packages in the middle are completely out of my control. I've checked the update manager which is set on manual installation. One more thing : after this update, the icon get stuck in the "waiting for other tasks to finnish state". No process were running except the applet one, and yum was unlocked... I had to kill the applet myself to get rid of it. I hope I've been clear, my english is not very good... If you need precisions, or the detail of a file that I'm not aware of it, just tell me!
What's your automatic update settings?
Here is my updates settings as seen in the configuration tool (gnome-packagekit). Update Settings : Check updates : [daily] Automatic updates : [nothing] Check Major Updtaes : [weekly] Notification display : [x] when updates are available [x] when a long task has finished Hope it helps...
Right, this is where PackageKit gets the distro upgrades, which are stored in the preupgrade package. I'll add a package dep in d02cb8bb75f0d8fdc3311e66d174e92edfa8fd19 in git master. The next fedora version will bring this package in.
