Public bug reported: 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. 0 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Ubuntu/gnome-software/merge_requests/5 ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791553 Title: Update preferences is not shown when flatpak plugin is installed Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: New 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.
