Fix the Dom0's update button

[joanna]

It currently does nothing... (even if it really does soemthing, it looks to the user as if it was doing nothing).

There is still a long delay between the time the button is pressed, and when the gpk-viewer window is presented to the user. Such delay suggests to the user that nothing happens, and then when the gpk-viewer window suddenly appears 30 secs later, the user already forgot that he or she initiated the update process, and is now only confused where this window came out.

In other words, we need some progress bar window in between.

[joanna]

And, BTW, the check-for-udpdate in the manager for Dom0 doesn't go away after I checked the updates and got information that there were no updates available.

[joanna]

The same applies to other VMs -- if no updates are ready, the check-for-updates icon will persist...

[joanna]

And, BTW, it still doesn't really work -- it always seems to show that there are no updates available, even though I just uploaded some updates, and qubes-dom0-updates picks them up correctly.

Progress bar while launching the updater:

Seems to be working fine now.

1-click updates for Dom0 still don't work -- the packages offered in gpk-viewer is only a SUBSET of all the available packages as displayed by qubes-dom0-update. Perhaps there is a missing yum clean call somewhere?

[joanna]

core-dom0 2.0.23, manager 1.2.17

[marmarek]

gpk-update-viewer groups updates (so eg xen-* is listed as one update). Perhaps this is the source of difference? You can always expand updates tree.

[joanna]

No, I just uploaded new manager package, and gpk-viewer didn't display it -- it only displayed the kernel-qubes-vm 3.3.5 (that I removed from my system). So, it seems like it doesn't notice just-uploaded-very-recently packages...

[marmarek]

Hopefully fixed by this commit:

[joanna]

As of core-dom0 2.0.27 and manager 1.2.20, this still doesn't work. Again, I just uploaded new rpms into the repos, then clicked on the Dom0 update button, and then got an empty gpk-viewer window telling me there were no updates available. So, I then typed qubes-dom0-update in the command line, and it immediately correctly found the updates. I suspect the update procedure via the manager doesn't do proper 'yum clean all'...

[marmarek]

Indeed there wasn't "--clean" option enabled.

[joanna]

As of qubes-manager 1.2.22 this still doesn't work -- again gpk-viewer shows no updates, while qubes-dom0-updates correctly shows some new updates.

Another try:

Calling "yum clean all" as normal user doesn't return any error, but looks like also doesn't clean the cache...
