Dave, this issue still affects gnome-software which is still used by some Ubuntu desktop flavors as of 23.10. I intend to propose soon that 1) those flavors switch to the firmware-updater snap or the GNOME Firmware app for 24.04 LTS 2) allowing me to drop the firmware support 3) perhaps it would then be possible to stop GNOME Software from continually running in the background.
- Ubuntu's unattended-upgrades, update-manager, etc. handle updating .deb's. - Snaps automatically update themselves. - The default install did not have a way to automatically check for firmware updates though, which was considered a critical enough need that the Ubuntu Desktop team did not override the app always running in the background. However, it looks like Flatpak does not have its own auto update mechanism currently. Hmmm… On a second note, this issue is also marked as affecting snap-store- desktop which is the project for the older Snap Store still used in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879137 Title: The snap-store is using hundreds of MiBs of RAM.
