Andrew - that patch seems reasonable with the existing code, as the daemon does the auto-updates, so no client should be performing it. This should probably be done with a quirk, so the update monitor doesn't need to special case Snaps (or the firmware as it currently does). But that is better discussed on an upstream MR. James - G-S doesn't currently have a mechanism to say why each operation is being performed, but I imagine we could add one. In this case it doesn't make sense as G-S shouldn't try and auto update. -- 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/1862158 Title: gnome-software tries to install snap updates in the background, causing unprompted polkit authentication for authorisation to install packages Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Every morning about ~30mins after powering on my focal machine I get (unprompted) a gnome-shell policykit authorisation popup saying 'authentication is required to install software' - I haven't yet actually authorised it since I wasn't sure what was causing it, however I notice that if I cancel the authorisation then I see a bunch of notifications from gnome-software about updates having been successfully installed (even though I presume it hasn't been since I never authorised it).

Is there some way gnome-software can inform the plugin that it is performing a non-interactive operation? If so, then the plugin could use snapd_client_set_allow_interaction() to suppress any potential pokit dialogs from the operation. It wouldn't allow the operation to succeed, but it also wouldn't leave the user with an authentication dialog open when they unlock their screen. -- 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/1862158 Title: gnome-software tries to install snap updates in the background, causing unprompted polkit authentication for authorisation to install packages Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Every morning about ~30mins after powering on my focal machine I get (unprompted) a gnome-shell policykit authorisation popup saying 'authentication is required to install software' - I haven't yet actually authorised it since I wasn't sure what was causing it, however I notice that if I cancel the authorisation then I see a bunch of notifications from gnome-software about updates having been successfully installed (even though I presume it hasn't been since I never authorised it).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1862158] Re: gnome-software tries to install snap updates in the background, causing unprompted polkit authentication for authorisation to install packages
I believe this issue is because we now show pending snap updates in gnome-software (useful when one has manually set the refresh timer), which causes them to be categorised as "updatable live". gnome-software then has an update monitor that automatically tries to apply any updatable live apps (which causes the polkit dialogs and updates complete notifications) - but we don't want this as snapd does this. I have an untested patch here https://gitlab.gnome.org/ahayzen/gnome- software/commit/0597be6f317a38aa64ac86280d7b05a1aa242a70 which I believe should disable snap app updates from the update monitor.
