PackageKit (gnome-software) triggered reboot for updates?

Hello!

Some days ago I installed "gnome-software" out of curiosity. Is it possible that "PackageKit" in the background triggers some sort weird Red Hat behaviour, with an unrequested reboot for an autonomous update of systemd? This seems to be named "pk-offline-update".

What happend:
1. pacman -Syu # this morning, systemd updates included
2. shutdown through GNOME UI this afternoon
3. machine hangs for minutes (screen blank, no reaction on keyboard)
4. turned off through power button
5. turn on again through power button
6. some short messages from systemd on tty1, can't read
7. systemd turns off itself again
8. turn on again through power button, everything back to normal

This looks for me like "gnome-software" trigged this through "PackageKit". I don't really use "gnome-software", because I'm following the generic approach of Archlinux and do all administrative stuff through the terminal. This means, I use only the official programs from Archlinux, pacman, pacdiff and in my case sometimes VIM. I really don't want reboot my machine for updates, if it is not really my own decission and desire because it is technially required. Basically I just ask for conformation on this issue. If I'm right about "PackageKit" and "gnome-software" as responsible for this frightening* incident, I will remove gnome-software, at least untils is behaviour is switched off.

Thanks

Problem solution:
Windows? Reboot!
GNU/Linux? Be root!

* Sorry for that expression...but...Windows!!!

Re: PackageKit (gnome-software) triggered reboot for updates?

I noticed that when I shut down via GNOME with gnome-software installed and updates to install, there is a checkbox for installing updates in the shutdown dialog. If this is checked (which it is by default), the computer will reboot, install updates and only then shut down.

You probably didn't uncheck this checkbox, or maybe use an extension which bypasses the shutdown dialog. Since your computer froze and was power-off, the installation step only occured after you manually powered it on again.

Re: PackageKit (gnome-software) triggered reboot for updates?

Hm. I installed all current updates...my bad. I'm afraid that checkbox is only visible, when update could/will be installed.
