I believe this issue is because we now show pending snap updates in gnome-software (useful when one has manually set the refresh timer), which causes them to be categorised as "updatable live". gnome-software then has an update monitor that automatically tries to apply any updatable live apps (which causes the polkit dialogs and updates complete notifications) - but we don't want this as snapd does this.
I have an untested patch here https://gitlab.gnome.org/ahayzen/gnome- software/commit/0597be6f317a38aa64ac86280d7b05a1aa242a70 which I believe should disable snap app updates from the update monitor. If it looks good let me know and I can proposed it against gnome- software master :-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1862158 Title: gnome-software tries to install snap updates in the background, causing unprompted polkit authentication for authorisation to install packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1862158/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
