** Description changed: Impact ------ The GNOME Software app has a feature to install updates when powering off the computer. (Screenshot attached.) This is unnecessary in Ubuntu since we already ask to restart when there are updates that we know need a restart to be applied. GNOME Software may also prevent installing updates except by restarting the computer which is frustrating to people who don't want to restart immediately. GNOME Software does not provide an option to turn this feature off. Years ago, Ubuntu's version of the GNOME Software .deb disabled this feature, but it was (unintentionally?) dropped when we resynced our packaging with Debian after switching the Ubuntu Store to be provided by a snap instead of a .deb. This issue affects Ubuntu Budgie and Xubuntu which ship the .deb version of GNOME Software. It also affects people who have uninstalled the snap and installed the .deb. + + This patch actually disables all apt updates. This is ok for Ubuntu + because we use update-manager for apt updates and all non-KDE official + desktop flavors depend on update-manager.
