Description Chris Murphy 2014-08-07 02:44:31 UTC 
Created attachment 924690 [details]
journalctl -b -l -o short-monotonic

Description of problem: Software informs me there are two updates available. I click the Restart & Install button, the system restarts but nothing is installed, and upon launching Software the same two updates are still present.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-software-3.13.4-2.fc21.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Restart & Install
2.
3.

Actual results:

System restarts, no installation occurs. Software continues to list available updates.

Expected results:

Restart, installation of updates, another restart. 

Additional info:
I'm not sure what triggers (systemd?) the update, so I'm attaching the entire journal for the boot immediate after clicking Restart & Install, the one that should have installed the updates. Could be useless.

Disabled NetworkManager debugging. Enabled rd.debug and systemd.log_level=debug.

This looks suspicious:

OK so yeah the update hasn't happened. But what's supposed to trigger the update? Either gnome-software isn't setting the trigger or systemd isn't honoring it. I suspect the latter because when I reboot from the far right pull-down menu to reboot, I get a floating dialog asking me if I want to install pending software updates; choosing that results in the same behavior: no update. So it's not just gnome-software. Seems like systemd isn't picking up the ball.

OK I'm following steps 1-4, but I get lost in between the system update script being run, which it appears not to be, and the part about taking a Btrfs snapshot which is definitely not done. Looking like this is a systemd bug.

system-update -> /var/cache exists.

I don't know why it takes three spawnings, but the generator is spawned.

systemd-215-8.fc21.x86_64
Comment 3 Chris Murphy 2014-08-18 04:50:52 UTC 
Still a problem with these versions:
gnome-software-3.13.5-0.1.git5c89189.fc21.x86_64
systemd-215-11.fc21.x86_64

Proposing as beta blocking: The installed system must be able to download and install updates with the default graphical package manager in all release-blocking desktops.

Comment 4 Kalev Lember 2014-09-20 13:22:00 UTC 
Can you retest with PackageKit-1.0.0-2.fc21 and gnome-software-3.13.92-2.fc21, please? These releases had a number of fixes that should improve the reliability of offline updates.

Thanks!
Comment 5 Chris Murphy 2014-09-21 03:11:41 UTC 
Appears fixed in Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21_Alpha-1.iso which use:
PackageKit-0.9.5-1.fc21
gnome-software-3.13.91-1.fc21
systemd-215-11.fc21

Both restarting from gnome-software and gnome-shell restart/poweroff dialog result in an updated system, and no post-install confusion whether there are still pending updates.
Comment 6 Kalev Lember 2014-09-21 10:38:00 UTC 
Excellent, thanks for testing!
