Hi, Starting the new gnome tool Software it is telling me system up to date.
But when I run sudo yum update I'm receiving a bunch of updated packages. Is something wrong or should I better not worry too much?
Thanks! Florian
There is typically nothing to worry about. Yum has more aggressive refreshing of its metadata (every 6 hours) and GNOME Software and other frontends might depend on the caching more (except for security updates)and you might just hit different mirrors even between two consecutive runs of yum.
Who is interested in modifying the update interval of gnome-software do the following:
1.) Start/install dconf-editor
2.) Navigate to org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.updates schema
Here you can set pretty much every behavior of gnome-software from disabling auto-download, changing the updating-cycle or disabling auto-updates. Standard update frequency is set to 86400 seconds, that’s 24h.

Why close the question? If I open a new one, you'll point at here but my issue is a little different. For those who don't find answer below I suggest to read this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1029954 ; In summary
gnome-settingsdchecks every 24h for updates, downloads them and then the gnomesoftwareapp can be used to reboot and install them. For non-gnome desktops like xfce, you can usepkcon update -dto get updates and they will show up in thesoftwareapp to be intalled. v3.12+ versions ofsoftwareapp will allow for manual updating of updates.
