packagekitd running as root has no way of accessing the session gsettings values. The update gsettings plugin is solely responsible for getting updates and every hour it checks to see if the frequency-get-updates has been exceeded. If this is exceeded, it does an updates check with packagekitd. If there are critical updates then a notification is issued straight away, otherwise a notification is shown only when the frequency-updates-notification value has elapsed. That's also set to one week in gsettings and there's no UI to change that. What that means in reality is that if there are no critical or security updates then you only get notified of updates just once a week. That was a requirement from the design team to reduce the number of pesky notifications when there's nothing actually wrong, Richard. -- test mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
