GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 769572
Add an option to deactivate new distribution version update notification
Last modified: 2016-08-15 20:21:40 UTC
Created attachment 332815 [details] notification update I'm a Fedora user and a new version was released on june 21 2016, the new version is Fedora 24. I'm still using Fedora 23 but I don't want to upgrade to fedora 24 yet, at least not until december when the end of life will be announced. What I really want is to be able to dismiss the notification update because everytime I login, after a few seconds that I'm on the desktop, a notification on the top bar appears, announcing the new update, that is annoying because I already know about that but there is no way to deactivate it. It should be nice to hide the big banner in gnome software as well. I wonder what will happen with the updates of the current system: will they be notified as usual or will I not be able to see anymore updates? This is the beginning of something that many people will complain about so I hope you guys try fix this situation because this is going to happen in fedora 24 and other distros that will use gnome software for the same purpose. thanks in advance.
I just noticed that I'm still able to receive regular updates for fedora 23 through gnome software so forget about the question I made about it, the banner remains there so at least you should implement something to expand/reduce its size should we need to know more information and please do something about the notification, it will be annoying for me to close it everytime I login for the next four months!!.
Another great idea is to set a reminder for the update at a specific date, for example, since I want to update to fedora 24 in december, I could set a reminder to appear on december 1st, removing the annoying notification and the banner from gnome software. Also if I don't set any reminder, gnome software could notify users to upgrade to the next version when the end of life is approaching, like a week before it ends, displaying the notification and the banner in gnome software as well.
