GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 694548
'Install Updates and Restart' menu item remains after updating and restarting
Last modified: 2013-03-02 18:29:19 UTC
Yesterday when I installed the daily updates and saw the option in the panel to 'Install Updates and Restart', I clicked it and restarted the computer. However, I noticed that after the restart, that the selection in the panel was still there. So I tried restarting a couple of more times this way, but it was still there. This went away when I opened up the 'Software Update' app and saw the message notifying me that there are no new updates to install. Also notable is that a new kernel version was installed in this update. This is not that severe of a problem (it doesn't break anything), but it's still confusing.
Uhm... if/when that happens again, can you check if /var/lib/PackageKit/prepared-update exists after a reboot? If so, this is a PackageKit bug.
Thanks, I will try that. If it's a PackageKit bug, it's still a Gnome issue, am I right?
Uhm, sort of. PackageKit is developed by Freedesktop (a joint GNOME + KDE + others effort), and tracks its bugs at https://bugs.freedesktop.org , so you would need to report the issue there.
Confirmed, it does exist in that directory after the reboot. And then, when I run Software Update again, that removes the file (and the item in the panel menu). I look forward to this one getting squashed.

Can you please file a bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ ? (You can point to this bug if you want). But there is no PackageKit component here to reassign this to.
Ok, reported here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61706
