Having just read this entire thread, and been affected by this once, it occurs to me that the likely answer has been offered, but I suspect you may have thought Matthias' reference to “GNOME Software” to be a generic answer (apologies if I'm wrong). But in fact the name of the relevant package is gnome-software. When gnome-software is installed, it runs as a service in the user's desktop session by default and periodically queries PackageKit for updates. If the setting org.gnome.software/download-updates is enabled (the default is enabled), Software asks PackageKit to download updates in the background. When updates have been “prepared” by this interaction, the normal gnome-shell shutdown dialog will show the aforementioned checkbox. At least with my most recent testing, it is checked by default. I can reproduce this by commanding PackageKit with pkcon refresh pkcon update --only-download and observe the gnome-shell shutdown prompt now has the checkbox suggesting to “Install pending software updates” (assuming there are updates). Is this enough to go on to move this to a report against gnome-software? Cheers, -- mike
