Bug ID: 363617
Summary: Muon Update Manager keeps "searching," doesn't stop to
show status and allow the user to install updates.
Product: muon
Version: 2.2.0
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: muon
Assignee: echidna...@kubuntu.org
Reporter: playa...@playful.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org
Muon Update Manager launches, shows status, automatically begins a type of
searching activity, and finally stops this odd "searching activity" (after
about thirty seconds) to show the very same status a second time, then allowing
the user to install the updates. However, sometimes the "searching activity"
never stops, forcing the user to quit the program to try again. Usually, after
one or two additional attempts, the "searching activity" successfully stops,
allowing the user to install the updates. Today, even after six attempts, the
odd "searching activity" never stopped. . . .
Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Muon Update Manager.
2. Observe its behavior.
3. Install updates if you can; otherwise, quit the program and keep relaunching
it until the program finally allows the installation of updates.
Actual Results:
Today (for the first time in about nine months), Muon Update Manager told me
that the software is up-to-date (for about a second), but the odd searching
activity that ensues never stopped to display the status permanently, a second
time, as it has always done.
Expected Results:
I expected the usual behavior, which is for the odd searching activity to stop
to display the status permanently, a second time.
I don't mind odd behavior, as long as it is CONSISTENT behavior, so that I can
execute my own behavioral procedures to accommodate the odd behavior and avoid
problems; but, when behavior becomes unpredictable, I fear an eventual loss of
control over the system. . . .
