Description Mario Limonciello 2017-10-27 21:29:07 UTC 
Some software that is installed via GNOME Software (such as FW updates) requires a reboot for installation.

GNOME software helpfully uses the D-Bus API org.gnome.SessionManager.Reboot to perform this action: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/tree/src/gs-updates-page.c#n727

It's been reported however that this isn't working and calling the API fails:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1719797

Here is the relevant snippet from when it's failed:

Oct 22 14:47:34 travers gnome-software[4104]: Calling org.gnome.SessionManager.Reboot failed: GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._g_2dio_2derror_2dquark.Code19: Operation was cancelled
Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2017-10-30 14:17:00 UTC 
sounds like a gnome-software bug (it's cancelling it's cancellable?)
Comment 2 Richard Hughes 2017-12-05 11:35:26 UTC 
> it's cancelling it's cancellable

But the GCancellable is NULL, no?
Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2017-12-05 15:06:53 UTC 
of that's the case then probably a gnome-shell or gnome-session bug indeed.
