Your system is up to date - or is it?

Mon Jun 20, 2016 10:07 pm
Thanks for KDE Neon, I've used KDE since Slackware 8.1 days! Good work! :)

I've installed Neon from 17th June [neon-devedition-gitunstable-20160617-0852-amd64.iso] to a virtual machine & had a bit of a play with it. One thing I've noticed with the system updater: the system tray icon indicated there were 128 updates available, I clicked on the system tray icon's menu to install them, it opened the window but said 'Your system is up to date'. I thought this meant it had processed them really quickly so I closed it. Then the next day it said >128 updates were available. I found that I needed to keep the screen that says' Your system is up to date' and about 45 seconds later it updated to show the 128 updates that were available, which I then processed. Possibly this is down to network slowness of the virtual machine, but it'd be nice if it initially said 'Checking updates' or suchlike rather than saying that my system was up to date.

Thanks again. :)

This is not KDE Neon issue but an absurd way Discover updater is designed.

Edit:
Here is the bug report of this exact problem
Bug 364638 - Discover shows false information about updates state
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364638

Aleix wanted me to report it as a separate bug report (as if he wasn't aware that it is a nonsense feature that needs changing, no bug report - no problem?).
