Bug ID: 509814
Summary: Notifier Service and underlying OSTree backend
continously retries updates.
Classification: Applications
Product: Discover
Version First 6.4.4
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: rpm-ostree Backend

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Hi all,
I’m experiencing an issue where Plasma Discover keeps spamming me with update
notifications, even though the underlying rpm-ostree update fails due to
dependency conflicts. These dependency conflicts are not the bug I'm reporting.
It's the continuous retry spam.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable Automatic Updates for Discover in Fedora Kinoite
2. Introduce a dependency conflict
3. Wait for Discover to try to update with the dependency conflict
OBSERVED RESULT
Sep 19 18:13:02 fedora plasma-discover[7002]:
org.kde.plasma.libdiscover.backend.rpm-ostree: rpm-ostree "(error): Could not
depsolve transaction; 1 problem detected: ...
Sep 19 18:52:48 fedora rpm-ostree[7073]: Txn Upgrade on
/org/projectatomic/rpmostree1/fedora failed: Could not depsolve transaction; 1
problem detected: ...
This happens continuously—every half minute Discover tries to start a
transaction, fails, and triggers a notification again. I’m aware that the
update itself is failing due to mesa-vdpau-drivers-freeworld dependency issues,
but the problem here is the notification spam, not the failed update.
EXPECTED RESULT
The expected behaviour would be for Discover to only try every few to several
hours later, rather than continously (I’ve gotten 330 notifications in the
background just while writing this).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This happens immediately on the update failing, it seems to immediately retry
the update instead of timing out leading to a ridiculous amount of notification
spam very quickly.
