Title:
Disable offline update feature
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
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.
