Title:
Update preferences is not shown when flatpak plugin is installed
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
What happened:
1) Install Ubuntu Cosmic daily build
2) Launch gnome-software 3.30
3) Click on the app menu, notice there is no "update preferences"
4) Install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
5) Restart gnome-software 3.30
6) Notice there is still no "update preferences"
What I expected to happen:
I expected "update preferences" to be shown as a menu in gnome-software.
However I understand that only packagekit + snap are installed by default -
which both don't currently have support for this toggle (maybe snap will in the
future?)
So I would expect that the "update preferences" menu is shown after
installing the flatpak plugin at step 6.
I have submitted a merge request here [0] which shows this menu when the
flatpak plugin is enabled.
I think this is important for this option to be available when the user has
installed the flatpak plugin, as it was a feature listed in the GNOME 3.30
release notes and announced across many news publications - having this option
not visible in Ubuntu will only result in bad press.
