Bug 1090042

On part of the puzzle is that it looks like gnome-software does not work without fwupd installed. It shows an error. Please either make fwupd optional or add a require tag to the package.

nevertheless gnome-software claims the system is up to date even though zypper patch shows updates.

Yep, that's why GNOME Software's update notification didn't show up. And the
notification doesn't rely on fwupd.

I guess this bug is actually IN_PROGRESS, not NEW, right?

I checked manually on Leap 15.0 where the patch is not yet applied but I installed "fwupd" manually. Now, gnome software does not pop up an error anymore but still it reports "Software is up to date" though `zypper patch` reports available updates as Jonathan Kang explained.

Yep. In my 3 working P1 bugs :).

Right. There is still an issue of GNOME Software not showing updates util
you run "pkcon update -d". I'm working on this.

Any progress on that?

btw, what is the update check algorithm? Are they always check on login or is there an interval? Is it configurable? how?

updates will be checked 60 seconds after login, and then once per hour. But
it's not configurable.

*** Bug 1090866 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

The problem is gsettings key "org.gnome.software.download-updates" in Leap 15
is set to false by default. It should be true by default, which is expected
and defined in gsettings schema file.

I'm not sure why it's set to false by default in Leap 15. I checked a few
branding packages and didn't find any clue.

The "false" was set in glib2-branding:

    glib2-branding/glib2-branding.gschema.override.in:@@IF_LEAP@@[org.gnome.software]
    glib2-branding/glib2-branding.gschema.override.in:@@IF_LEAP@@# Disable GNOME Software's automatic update notifications - openSUSE relies on
    glib2-branding/glib2-branding.gschema.override.in:@@IF_LEAP@@# gnome-settings-daemon's internal update plugin for update notifications.
    glib2-branding/glib2-branding.gschema.override.in:@@IF_LEAP@@download-updates = false

I have submitted to remove the lines in G:S, G:F and SLE-15:GA simultaneously because of the urgency.
