Attachments: Screeshot with GNOME Software unable to apply the updates in MicroOS

Build Identifier: 

Hi, I don't what is the state of GNOME Software to apply the updates, but it doesn't work correctly yet.

After installing openSUSE MicroOS, GNOME Software always says:

Unable to update "System Updates"
Failed to create symlink: Read-only file system

And obviously, the updated aren't installed and applied. transactional-update works with the command line.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install MicroOS with the GNOME desktop.
2. After the installation of Flatpak apps, open GNOME Software.
3. Try to install the updated and you get the message.
Actual Results:  
I can't update openSUSE MicrOS with GNOME Software, at least the first time.


I think that this bug is duplicated, but if the bug was reported, I didn't find it in the list.

I will try to share a screenshot.

The issue was expected since GNOME Software was not working to update software on the read-only root, see:

https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:MicroOS/Desktop#Installation:_GNOME_Software

I still append it to Jonathan's queue in case there were missed information/plan.
