Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 3.14.2-3
Followup-For: Bug #678340
I turned on the debug flag in gnome-settings-daemon to see why the
package cache is never refreshed automatically on my computer. There
was a message "not when session active" in the debug output. The
package cache is refreshed only when the computer is idle. The daemon
obtains information about idle status by handling a signal
"StatusChanged" from org.gnome.SessionManager. However, this signal is
emitted by org.gnome.SessionManager.Presence, so the daemon never
receives it.
There is no handler for signals from
org.gnome.SessionManager.Presence, so the simplest solution is to just
disable the check for the idle status. The package cache will be
refreshed even if the user is not idle, but it's better than no
refresh at all. A patch is attached.
