minutejosch: i just remembered another topic to address during the gnome integration, which is the problematic packagekit-offline-update.service https://community.mnt.re/t/gnome-integration-notes-issue-tracking/316813:13
+ ericsfraga (~user@2a00:23cc:b452:2900::99e)13:17
joschminute: yes, unfortunately i have little personal experience with that as i have not used gnome for a very long time myself13:18
joschand on friends and family computers i usually install mate or kde even13:18
joschand thus it was only yesterday that i found ot that starting with debian bookworm, the default installation does not come with the unattended-upgrades package anymore13:19
joschand instead the gnome packagekit integration is used for upgrades13:19
joschi can imagine that this makes sense for Debian stable as upgrades are few and usually small13:19
joschbut we are running unstable and i'm tempted to completely disable automatic upgrades13:20
joschminute: also re "In the About screen in Settings, the “Processor” field is empty, also “System Details” has no mention of the device model.": https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgtop/-/issues/6613:21
joschgnome-control-center uses libgtop to figure out system information which in turn uses /proc/cpuinfo which is mostly for many arm platforms13:22
joschoh there is also a gnome-control-center issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/206913:22
minuteah yes, i can see how that makes sense for stable vs unstable13:22
minutejosch: we can probably mask the packagekit-offline-update.service by default somehow? or could there be a cleaner way (a setting?)13:23
minuteas we'll preinstall gnome, the packagekit package will be there and configured, so we can mask it after the fact during the image build process i assume13:24
joschyes, masking it is no problem13:27
joschi just asked in #debian-next if there is maybe another solution13:27
minutenice13:27
minuteheh, #debian-next redirects to #debian for me13:27
joschon OFTC13:28
minuteoh :D13:36
joschno worries, you missed nothing :)13:37

joschminute: you maybe saw werdahias's offer in #debian-next to co-maintain the required package. I'm now installing Debian testing on BoostisBetter's imx8mq Reform using debian-installer to get an idea what the default behaviour with regards to package upgrades will be in Trixie. I wonder what the effects of masking packagekit-offline-update.service. I hope we have some package which does the upgrades while 19:12
joschGnome is running? I also asked our Gnome maintainer how this is supposed to work and maybe that can shed some light on the situation. I want to figure out how packages like gnome-package-updater are involved and if it comes to it, we can just build the package "update-notifier" from Ubuntu in the MNT gitlab CI pipeline. It builds fine on Debian with only minimal changes.19:12
joschSo we'll probably know more soon. When this packagekit update happened during a boot over here I was also massively annoyed...19:13

joschit is so satisfying to install debian unstable with a patched debian installer, then reboot and it *just* works (on imx8mq classic reform)21:05
joschgdm pops up, entering password, bam there is gnome21:06

minutejosch: is that still how you expect it to be?21:59
joschminute: uh very nice safety check!22:00
joschminute: my last commit deleted the REFORM_TOOLS_BRANCH variable which is useless now that reform-tools is from Debian unstable22:00
minutejosch: ah, should i remove this safety check?22:08
joschminute: yes, that variable is gone for good22:09
minutejosch: ok, deployed22:10
joschnoice!22:10
minutejosch: btw thanks for the research into the offline updating situation, i'm looking fwd to hear more22:11
