** Description changed: [ Impact ] While attempting to play a video on Ubuntu noble desktop for raspberry pi, totem attempts to locate a package for the H.264 codec but cannot - find a service providing org.freedesktop.PackageKit. This is strange - given that packagekit is installed, provides packagekit.service, which - declares that it provides that name over DBus. Specifically, the - following is output by totem: + find a service providing org.freedesktop.PackageKit. + + The main source of the bug is that App Center does not implement + org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Modify2 on the session bus, which would + prompt the user to install the missing codecs.
