Description Adam Williamson 2017-11-29 00:38:51 UTC 
Fedora live images are set up such that notification of software updates is disabled. However, it appears that *upgrade* notifications don't respect this setting. If you boot a Fedora 26 live image currently, shortly after it boots, you get a notification that a new version of Fedora is available. Of course, you can't dist upgrade a live image...

We can't really 'fix' this for released images now, but if it gets fixed upstream, at least Fedora 28 and later live images won't have this problem.

    Do not enable distro-upgrades when updates are disabled
    
    This also fixes a big where the updates-changed event could get the update
    monitor to request the update list even if the GSetting is false.
